I don't think Will is leaving but this is the new NIL world we live in. My best advice is to be numb to the volatility and do what you feel is right in supporting BI. I'm supporting it even though I know a scholarship is worth more to most athletes than NIL deals. But I also knew the numbers would explode. Florida is getting sideways with a top player over $13 MIL. You think we have a shot at someone like Howard? You better write a huge check immediately because other schools are throwing some insane money around.

I don't know what kind of offense they end up running or if it's a hybrid or a 2 QB system. Just that Montgomery is under the Briles tree and he hasn't had to use a running QB and successful as well. I suspect their offense will end up being tailored for who they end up getting. They have been active in the portal with QB's.

Which Freeze has done before with Longo. Not to mention much of his passing tree is based off of the Air Raid.
So much for no other SEC team would ever want Will Rogers.

Yes we do. The problem is we got behind and have to catch up.

Yep yep and yep. To this post and previous ones above.

Just trying to make his qb room better. Ashford is mobile- which everyone here wants- but can't pass a lick. How did that work for em??

Would certainly like to see us at least competitive but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it one way or the other at this point. I just feel like with college I'm watching the Jr. NFL now and if I'm just going to watch professionals who are only in it for the money then I might as well just spend more time watching the actual NFL.
Yep.

But my point is that's the only system in which he can thrive.

A lot of catching up but we need as many people who will to get on board soon and get to pulling this thing up

Can we trade for Ashford strait up?

And will can pass but can't run. Freeze uses both.

Yep. Everybody can give 25bucks a month at least. A lot can give 50 or 100

He can be developed as a passer. He has some tools. He was a freshman last year and showed flashes. I'd love to have him

If any of this is true (and I don't think it is), we should not get into a bidding war for Will. I love the kid, but that money can be spent much better elsewhere. And I don't blame Will if he gets a good offer, he should take it, let's be real his life after college will be coaching football or selling insurance and I'm sure he understands that.

Lol. I wouldn't do that deal. You better throw in some more players or a lot of cash.

Well it's true but here's the thing, we can't really get into a bidding war if we wanted to.

Hilarious that this has turned into fan donations in order to pay these guys and the universities are still sitting on fat TV checks. Completely missed the point. Fans of schools like ours will lose interest

I agree, he has shown flashes. Just pointing out the first game he went 8-25 w 3 ints and we had to face 8 in the box our fans would be bitching about him like the do Will. Just different reason. And no Will isn't perfect. Not close. But we could be way worse off. That's all.
