None of the draft guys I follow have him that high.

Is there a chance we get Thompson another year and bring back Evans and Ayden Williams?

The short answer is no

[Pancho]

Ayden is being courted hard by the plantation again

Thompson is trying. But no. Of course the ncaa is powerless. So I guess 1%. But otherwise no.

[Todd4State]

So far.....all 8. I imagine we would've kept Burnside but I don't think anyone was hurting that he left. He got recruited over.

Was it a NIL thing? I heard he got his NIL cut.

College athletes exist in that world now. It's "produce or be cut". I hate it for the actual student athlete. The current system is not good for a young adult, but...it's what certain people wanted.

I thought it was because his ceiling is at safety and we want him to play there but he wasn?t to be a WR

That would be correct. We were paying him far too much for the amount of production we were getting in return

while i agree on the production part, he isn't/wasnt getting crazy money. Just more than money than he produced. Now, the crazy money comment is all relative. But we have lots of guys making more than stonka. As it should be. But we will pay someone the same as he was getting and that someone is just as likely to sit the bench too. And trust me, this isn''t defending him, at all. Nor bashing him. He's going to find out he's not worth what he thinks he is and have to play at a g5 for next to nothing

[Thick]

What about DL Ahmad Breaux from LSU? He?s in the portal

I wouldn't be shocked if he tried to come back. Not sure Lebby will take him back though.

Saw at 247 that Stonka is apparently meeting with Zach Arnett, and they are trying to work out something where he comes back.

If he'll actually accept playing S and understand he's on a prove it deal, then I have no problem bringing him back. I wouldn't pay him much NIL at all though. I mean he's on scholarship so maybe 2K-3K/month after that. I just don't see any merit in keeping him anywhere near his old deal, which was rumored to be near 6 figures.

It's interesting, because I was thinking about this the other day. I was thinking about Isaac Smith in the middle safety role in this defensive scheme, which is the DOG position. The thought crossed my mind that Stonka would have a great chance to play either weak safety or strong safety in this scheme if he would stay.

You're also assuming we won't portal a safety or two, which I fully expect us to do.

It was absolutely six figures.

Jadan Baugh RB would be a good one to get. It would be someone who could come in and make an impact immediately.

Gonna likely be price tag that we don't want to pay for a #2(ish) RB. I imagine he'll want RB1 assurances as well. He's gonna be highly sought after!

We're not really looking for an RB1 out of the portal and we're not going to pay RB1 price tag for an RB2.
