NIL, false talk of guaranteed NFL, the glory of a Nick Saben phone call. Hope it works out for him.
 



247 still has him committed to Iowa but if he does make the change this will be a really tough loss for them having a kid that highly rated sitting right there in their backyard and losing him.

He could be back in Iowa in a year or two if the NIL and depth chart don’t pan out for him.
 


He made the right choice if indeed he is going to sign with AL.
What quality offensive player wants to play in that offense if you have a choice?

Same at Iowa and Alabama. Just different reasons: Brian Ferentz offensive scheme vs Alabama depth chart. Wonder if NIL played a role?

If he's good enough to get pt at Bama, he won't be seeing many three and outs. If he isn't, he can transfer somewhere with a capable offense and be productive. Either option looks way better than playing in the Brian Ferentz system!

But also -- free transfers.

Why wouldn't you go, if nothing more to just give it a shot? If it doesn't workout within the first two years ... leave. Come back home. Iowa or Iowa State will take you in a second.

Just that easy.
 


Lots of reports out there of Alabama, Georgia and others promising NIL money and not being able to deliver on those promises.

There is a lot to be said for PJ's apparent strategy of finding under-rated, potential diamonds in the rough, who really, really appreciate the Gopher offer and want to play here.

Wasn't that the Jerry Kill model that we were so happy to move away from when we started getting guys like Bateman, Dunlap, Big Dan, etc?
 

He's an exceptional football player and I think he will see meaningful time at Alabama. JMO

Are they allowed to "promise" anything?? I don't think the schools themselves can do much other than educate players on their rights and possibly setup connections?

The dirty programs have all had “donors” leaving bags of cash around for decades. They have no interest in educating the players about anything. And they never will.

Now with NIL the programs just have the prospect deal with the donor directly. Donor makes whatever promises are necessary to land prospect.

Once onboard, they keep paying the promised money to the players they want to keep, and cut-off the players they want to transfer out. All NIL did was make what was happen totally legitimate and legal for the donors. NIL was about protecting wealthy donors from bad PR, investigations, or even legal trouble.
 

^^ this is why players need to organize. They need an organized system to protect themselves from crap like this.

Legal, but not legitimate.
 

How does Iowa High School football compare to Minnesota High School Football? I'm not bullish on skilled positions from the upper Midwest.

Why would that stop the cheating? Even if you guaranteed every player $100,000 a year, you would still have the bag men offering much more to get the players they want into the school they support.

Right. The schools, at least legally, are not running the NIL operations. Outside boosters run the NIL businesses and contracts, and source the seed money.

I’m only talking about donors who promise XYZ, kid comes there, then they renege on the deal.

Not sure if legal/rules allow player to sign a legal/legit contract before enrolling at the school? So they enroll and sign scholarship … whoops, just kidding on that NIL deal we talked about. Had a change of heart.
