2025 Transfer Portal Thread

Murphy to Auburn.
Arnold to state.
That's my hunch at this point. Lot of posturing.

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.

The funny thing with all that is that the majority of people outside the SEC actually believe the hookers were for Hugh. He was involved with a hairdresser in Hernando, MS at the time, of course she wasn't the only one.

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.

[confucius say]

I know there was a rumor last night on that board that Nic Anderson had silently committed. There was no context given and the guy said he knew a coach. I have heard, and obviously like I said Bumphis and Lebby are keeping skills guys kind of under wraps, but we're on Farooq and Hester too. No way to confirm any of that though. 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.

Got ya

Freeze is desperate at this point and that's why he's throwing money at everything that moves because he knows he's gone if they don't win at least 9 or maybe 8 if a win against bama is in the 8.

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.

Gotta source things these days.

You're right. It's not a good look. But you know we allowed ourselves into this position. We should've just paid MKT value for a QB and moved on. Instead we let Freeze get involved and they were handing out cash to visit. Hell, we should've paid him the 25K.

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.

[StarkVegasSteve]

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
