Professor Plum in the Library with the Wrench.

Good points that people keep driving past. I can remember when Kain Colter (maybe not the first guy, but along with O'Bannon) started to get the ball rolling on a lot of this and a good portion of the college football fan base were aghast. These guys get scholarships after all and they should...

You'd have to be a member of MENSA to figure out the Mensah situation.

Agree totally. I don't know where things will ultimately end up for HS QBs in the portal era, but I wonder if some will simply start out at the MAC or similar level, get earlier playing time, and then seek to move up if they perform well.

Good catch. I guess Grok is my AI. I meant public, but maybe that comment is below the belt.

I have an out-of-left-field question. We've touched on this a bit in the Perich tax angle thread (and I don't want to re-visit that), but are the players receiving remuneration beyond their scholarship considered public employees? If so, everyone should be able to see what they are being paid...

That's likely true. I don't know what the staff told him in the post-season meeting and perhaps his decision to enter the portal is based on that conversation. I'm not going to question players' decision-making processes, but I thought it was a premature jump on Kollock's part unless it was...

Surprised he didn't include the phone number for the Pubic Defender's office.

Kollock should be second in that series. We don't have any idea how Kollock fared leading the scout team, but I have to believe his ceiling is higher than the Shikenjanski's, Merdinger's, and Wittke's.

I've had similar thoughts. If you're a guy who has played three years (plus nine games) and the draftniks say you're a Day 3 guy, guys will come back because the NIL/revenue sharing bucks they are getting will likely be greater than rolling the dice on a late-round/UDFA contract. Curious which...

I've had the same thought. There was a change in scheme and the CB play was down and that might have contributed to the perception that Perich was worse this year.

Marcus Sherels had a great career as a punt return man for the Vikings and he was more quick than fast. Great open-end speed is obviously valuable, but being able to cut and accelerate quickly out of the cut is what usually makes a great return man.

He can do that too!

I don't know enough about Oregon's defensive scheme to have any idea how they will use him. He's extremely athletic and if they have a safety who plays "center field" in football terms, that would probably be Perich's best position. It's funny how it works. Kill played his safeties extremely...

I imagine Moore declares, but I wonder if he will be taking a pay cut to go pro having no idea what his NIL package looked like at Oregon. As Bob_Loblaw said, it's a really weak QB class and Moore and Mendoza likely go in the top ten (I think they probably would have been well below that the...

The answer to the question everyone is asking: Oregon Income Tax Rates

I posted a variaton on the theme in a different thread, but I wouldn't be surprised if more college players who are looking at a Day 3 draft day (and some Dat 2 guys) stay through their eligibility because they are more likely to get a bigger paycheck staying in college than the bonus they would...

He doesn't seem like a fit there given his strengths and the type of QBs they have used during the Lanning era.

I think that's the way it's going to be for most programs going forward, especially as informal tiers are established. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of 4-star players (especially QBs) enroll to play at programs perceived to be lower in the pecking order in order to hit the field right away...

Maybe it's just me, but I always laugh when I see a kid who grew up in the suburbs wearing a cowboy hat. Probably a lot of ropin' and brandin' out in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District #196.
