That's the vibe I've gotten from Auburn. Also the fact that Murphy has not set up another visit. You can kind of read between the lines, his reps and Auburn are negotiating the deal now.

Can confirm this is true. There was an entire reddit thread where basically anyone not from the south is like “We’re not sure they’re for the recruits.” Couldn’t believe that was even an opinion.

Just saw we offered Deshawn Purdie qb from Charlotte. Stats don?t look great but he is young also has an offer from Georgia and Florida.

I doubt those guys would even be announced as visitors. It'd be silent visits and then their reps would leak it to Nakos. Rosebowl is trying to act like he knew about Thompson but he didn't. He had no clue. He found out when everyone else did from Nakos.

Throwing money at QBs like he did for hookers!

There have been posts here with the hypothesis that we could sign JA with a 2 year agreement/contract at 1 million dollars per year. How can you even enforce a 2 year deal in this world gone crazy NIL/Portal system? I have read and been told that players, some no longer with us and others have demanded a renegotiation during the season. Can you make a 2 year deal stand legally? Thanks.

No you cannot. But that's why we also don't frontload a lot of these payments. They're monthly payments.

A contract that is agreed to by both parties is still a contract. It's enforceable by law in our court system.

A contract between two parties is binding no matter if it's about football or not.

My source at Auburn

Just absolutely thumped his chest on me asking if i could remember the last time Auburn came in and swooped a QB from State.

There is language that allows both parties to terminate the NIL contract. Fairly easily in most of the agreements

Fitting. Then Arnold goes on to win the Heisman and Auburn wins a Natty.

Agreed the language is key but a contract is binding by law, not by the NCAA.

Are we suing players to enforce it? I doubt it but a signed contract is binding and legally could be enforced if both parties signed it and agreed to it.

Update: Jackson Arnold will visit Mississippi State Saturday.

Here's the other thing though. This kid is 20 years old. I mean it would hard to not get caught up in the recruiting at that age. I mean this is a kid that was told by one fanbase that he sucked for a majority of the year and now he has multiple SEC programs, one of which HIS BACKUP beat, telling him he's the answer to their prayers.

---

A 20 year old that?s paid to play football is not a kid. Not disagreeing with anything else. Just that point

You and I don't agree on a whole lot Preacher....but we are lock step on this one. I couldn't agree more. They're not kids because they're paid but I mean we're talking about people with not fully developed frontal cortexes. I look at some of the stuff I did when I was 20 in Starkville. I mean dumb doesn't begin to describe it. Now, give me 1.5 million dollars.......it would end badly.

That needs to change. Lock both sides in.

Also....Rosebowl got outscooped again on the Arnold visit. It's getting funny at this point.

Dinner with Freeze tonight. If we can survive that, I think he?s ours to lose.

Optics are pretty rough on this one, but big win if Lebby brings it home

He's not winning a natty regardless of where he goes.

That oughta go good.

Todd Arnold: "So coach, we're a little concerned about you and your prior involvement with prostitutes. We know they were for players and not you."

Hugh Freeze: "Well see the Lord said it was ok since it wasn't for me. I asked him each and every time before I called."

Todd Arnold: "Were you asking him before you were messing around with the hairdresser in Hernando, MS too?"

Hugh Freeze: "Well now I think we need to stop talking about this and pray."

To follow up on the Nakos stuff, he has been pretty forthright the entire time that he thinks Jackson ends up at Mississippi State. I think if he's still reporting that a visit is taking place, that should tell you what you need to know. We got the money and are ready to make the offer.

We are trying to figure out a way to get him here tonight. That is not new though. We were always talking about sending a jet to get him from Auburn.

Possible we get some good news about Jalen Smith before the weekend is over.

Well maybe I was wrong. His tweet looks like a commitment

Jaron Glover has committed. I thought he was a follow for now guy but staff felt differently. I would keep your phones on you this weekend. Recruitpalooza 2K14 may not hold a candle to this weekend by Sunday.

It’s been pretty damn entertaining so far. Are Arnold and the FSU QB going to be here together now? That could be interesting.

Is it a bad sign that some of these defenders have left uncommitted. The tn linebacker, two former tcu defenders?

The two TCU guys are wait for nows. We're not pushing for their commitments. And Jalen Smith just left and we're pretty confident on him. We would take his commitment.
