Kid already portaling before graduation.

The pressure on these kids is tremendous. I don't blame him for being confused about what is the better decision. And with NIL involved now, and the lack of college interest in high school kids, it's smart for kids to secure their spot when they can. So sometimes they're going to commit to a school when they can, before other schools get their complete package/offer together. The game has changed.

I wouldn't judge a kid's character based on his back and forth between schools. Back in "the good old days" you know what was happening when kids flipped like this, this late. But now that everything is above table, it's just part of the process.

I’m not really blaming the kid. The system is the system. It arguably a pretty poor system. I hope these kids have good parents. It does concern me how many kids lives this money may ruin. Being an 18 yo worth half a mil and up has to be a ride.

Agree. Reaching your financial pinnacle at 18 years old probably isn't ideal. Hopefully he's got some good people around to help him. And yes, the system is hot garbage. They need to standardize everything like the NFL with each conference having a salary cap (on coaches and players).

Smart kid, get 4M from Vandy Sugar Daddies and get 12 D1 starts in 2026

Then hit free agency in 2027 and get 6M from Miami, Michigan, or Raising Canes

It's does not matter where you start your career, but you want to play and develop

And now your lawyer gets to negotiate a payoff to the school you're leaving so you don't get sued by the university. Fun times.

These deals are non binding is what I understand, if you leave during portal session. Each portal season is a universal free agent period.
