  1. The article mentions that the reason he is leaving is because he's not receiving the NIL dollars he thought he was promised. Not the first time that's happened.
  2. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/memphis-pf-tyreek-smith-heads-back-to-transfer-portal-just-before-tigers-season-opener-vs-missouri/
  3. Saw him break off some nice runs tonight. Just now watched Jay Maclin make a great TD catch, immediately followed by a great 2-point conversion catch, for Kentucky. Sigh.
  4. Having this happen to Memphis's star WR probably didn't help . . .
  5. I'm not sure how you responded to my point. Yes, we will be able to land transfers who, for whatever reason, weren't working out at P4 schools. Like Jace Ruder, Marcus Trice, Chandler Morris, and a bunch of others we've had over the years. I was talking about competing directly against P4s for recruits for whom P4s could previously only offer walk-on spots. The P4s previously only had 85 scholarship players. Now they get 105. Plus they get to pay all their players big bucks on top of having all their tuition, fees, room, and board taken care of. It's going to be much more difficult landing those extra 20 than it was when P4s could only enroll them as walk-ons. In other words (generally speaking): P4 scholarship offer > G5 scholarship offer > P4 walk-on offer
  6. If I could, I would certainly have to give this thread a "vomiting" vote: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/flying-under-the-radar-smus-unparalleled-success-cant-be-ignored-as-mustangs-aim-to-reach-new-heights/
  7. We could have done the same under the previous rules. I'm not sure what point you're making here.
  8. My point was about P4 schools. They will have all 105 on scholarship, and all 105 will be paid beyond that. Meaning we're going to have a much harder shot at landing those players.
  9. If he plays anything like Rod, I'm all in!
  10. When it comes to walk-ons, current P4 walk-ons are not typically better athletes than current scholarship players at G5 schools. So those extra players being trimmed from P4 rosters is not really a leveling of talent; it's them getting rid of players that were probably never going to make the depth chart (much less the field) anyway. It's the worst of the walk-ons. And those are players we almost always could have gotten with a scholarship offer, anyway. If we wanted them, which we probably didn't. But bringing down the overall roster size is a very small part of the picture, IMO. Now those P4 schools get an extra 20 scholarship players to hoard up on their roster, and they get to pay them out of a $22 million pool on top of NIL. Now how do we compete with that?
  11. The thing is, every one of the 105 players on each team's roster will now be a scholarship player. So we can't offer someone like, say, a Mason Fine, who would be a walk-on at OU and tell him he can be a scholarship player for us. Because now schools like OU will have extra scholarships to give, not to mention the additional money they will now be allowed to pay players with amounts we will not be capable of matching.
  12. I might add, this deranged fan is a Syracuse fan, not even a WVU fan. No idea whether or not Wren has anything to worry about, but he certainly does not need to worry about this silly video.
