Some important NIL info and updates

[confucius say]

Wheat is poised to be a top 3 round draft pick if not top 2

And I know he and Marks had portal offers. Our coaches had to fight to keep them. At least Marks called his coaches and let them know what was going on.

[confucius say]

I'm sorry but big programs aren't lining up for many of our guys. In baseball, it's almost a non-issue completely. Forbes or someone, maybe but we probably don't have 3 a year anyone would even consider. Wheat and Marks ain't them. I'll wait til it actually happens, because it's not happening much at all so far, before claiming it's even much of an issue. And I'll be honest, we start throwing millions at kids, I'm done with it all anyway.

Marks had offers. Was touch and go

Our fans dont understand that it is the Wild West now. Our best guys are being contacted and offered to go to other schools. Marks, Wheat, Tolu was offered over 200K by LSU basketball, and baseball guys as well. If you dont think some teams have checked the temp of Hines and a few others you are oblivious to college sports in 2022.

Do we think NIL money will give athletes significant pause about leaving early to turn pro? Are the schools tracking who has deals and how much they’re worth? And is that FOIA information?

Lots of questions surrounding all of this.

Yes the school knows who is getting what. The Coaches are working with NIL to try and secure players. Of course the AD is involved. It’s a n?w world

I'm with you, IMJ. The days of a former coach becoming the AD (ie, Bertman at LSU, Tanner at SoCarolina) has proven to not be the wisest business decision. I can argue that having Greg Byrne followed by the cheerleader Scott Stricklin were some of our best athletic years and successes. These two were business-savvy, marketing-focused individuals that were able to resonate and appeal to all facets of the MSU family. As for JC, meh, not so much and I'm ready for him to move on fwiw. I also feel the same way with regards to Keenum.

Cohen has been in over his head from the beginning. Keenum is just a empty chair bureaucrat. We are a day late and many dollars short when it comes to the NIL game.

100% agree.

Ive spoken with some in the administration side of recruiting and literally every recruit brings up NIL and what they?ve been offered somewhere else.

Just more evidence of where college sports are today

that's incredibly depressing for me ... and there's no stopping it now and I don't expect to ever see a cap on NIL .... transfers maybe, but never on NIL

Correct

[Kylesandi338]

I will be willing to bet 98 % of teams are bitching about being behind the 8 ball on the NIL deal. We aren't alone and the sky isnt falling! We are still Ms. state and never be a powerhouse recruiter. But we are in the SEC and we will hold our own in the top 25 like always when all of this is figured out.
