This is very sad. He looks like an incredible athlete.

I think this is certainly a strategy worth exploring.

UCLA also signed this dude in December. And he's been taking all the number 1 snaps this Spring: https://appstatesports.com/sports/football/roster/joey-aguilar/9341 The Bruins hired the OC from Indiana, and Aguilar has been running that same RPO offense for the last 3 seasons at APP State.

That seems like it could be a potential landing spot, but Cockeye State returns 3 very good running backs in Sama, Hansen, AND Jaylon Jackson. You can't tell me Cockeye State has the NIL capital available to sign ANOTHER running back, especially a guy who could probably command a substantial pay...

Your logic isn't flawed, but claiming QB's are "overvalued," is misguided. Its the most important position in the World, regardless of sport.

Players like Micah Hudson are going to learn a very hard lesson that NFL players already know. If you're coming off a serious injury which leads to limited production, your overall value drops DRAMATICALLY. That kid may not even be worth $250k now.

One could argue though that Carson Beck is also not a $4 million QB either. The market is completely out of whack.

What a time to be alive: This dude is a very average Offensive Tackle, he's probably even bottom half in the ACC. And yet, he's likely going to earn at least a half a million dollar payday.

I think Oklahoma State's issues go beyond NIL. IMO Mike Gundy needs to move on before their NIL can even have an impact. He seems like a major impediment standing between Oklahoma State and the future of college football.

Shavers has leverage. IMO, I think he has All-American Potential. He could become a star, and Nebraska knows it. As for Lenhardt, he's someone they need because of numbers and experience. But I would be very careful about his demands. If they can keep Shavers for 2025 it will be very difficult...

I feel like we are getting set up for a surprise or two. IMO, this past week I felt like Rhule was making some veiled comments and messages for his team. I think he was encouraging some dudes who need to go to jump into the portal. And I also think like he was telling some guys not to do it.

I'm interested in this story...

Its also possible, not likely, but possible that Nico and his agent are handling this without parental involvement. Hell, he is 20 years-old and doesn't need dad's permission.

He might have been good enough, but the current structure of NIL allows kids to make ridiculous demands. If I am a free agent that signs with an NFL team, I am taking that contract in the offseason, cashing my signing bonus, and then there are no negotiations or restructuring requests occurring...

This is basically what Princewill did to Nebraska throughout the whole 2024 season.
