Would we really want someone who can't maths at the junior college level?

It’s the formula for greatness

I’d be suprised if he gets out of Cal unsigned but we can hope. Staff might feel better about it

All Cal can offer is Tosh which is a fuckton better than the coaching he'll get here but if the kid wants cash, it'll be Bama or NU. I know which one I'd choose.

Cal has some NIL money unfortunately. Will that, plus playing in CA, playing for former coach and Cal ed make the difference? Who knows.

I wonder if Cal can match an offer we'd make. They historically have not been a big spending team. The Athletic department very deep in debt.

College football is just tiresome at this point

NCAA needs to create some structure and bring some sanity back to the sport

Looking at their portal class they seem to be more willing to spend than Nebraska

Idk man quite a bit of people were excited about getting Burburija. Now if true that he can’t academically qualify at Nebraska not much you can do but then he wouldn’t qualify at Clemson either. Big loss and don’t see the problem with taking all 3 of them (Green, Berrymon and Burburija) the Stoudmire thing is interesting because he’s basically coming off 2 season ending injuries. Anthony Jones is basically the equivalent as a 3 star or above freshman would rather they use that spot on a prospect. He’s much worse than McCullough and less versatile.

I pretty much agree with you. But while there were some people that were excited, it seemed like most of the people weren't willing be excited because of how jaded they are about things. But regardless of the reason, not adding Burburija sucks.

And I think you are undervaluing Jones. Again, he won't be all conference or anything. But he has held his own at the Big Ten level. He is a good player, but not great.

Considering how some of you are during the games with comments like "why is he out of place" or "that was a bonehead play", are you really wanting to have someone who can't maths on the team?

Tons of NFL HoFers basically can't read or do math

Sean Callahan said this dude is probably asking $1.5M. Seemed laughably high, but this late in the game people are desperate. If he makes it to Nebraska I like our chances, but I doubt he steps foot on campus.

That's something they don't have the power to do. The NCAA only represents Management.

hopefully the schools and conferences break apart then

Lamar Jackson is an MVP qb and he’s borderline retarded

Maybe, but their highest rated players are WRs, TEs, CBs and RBs. Those positions are not the most highly compensated ones, in fact they are the most lowly paid ones.

it's easy to do if they want to. It is not independent - the schools are the members and run it

 

[Cash68847]

The schools seem to be the biggest problem in a way because they don’t want to give the players more power and money through collective bargaining.

Edit: Nope Green to Alabama.

I'm always cautioning that portal ratings aren't trustworthy, but that being said...
