Folks, I"m telling you, this is ALL ABOUT NIL MONEY, position needs are determining who gets offered and it is school by school. So we trade an DL that can't get NIL money here to someone who wants him bad enough to give him some. And maybe we get someone who couldn't get NIL money somewhere else, but we have a few bucks and need them at a specific position.
There are a bunch of coaches, too, that if you enter the portal, you forfeit your scholarship at the very moment. [/b] I'd don't know, but I'd not be surprised if this isn't the case with this kid.
Glad he's coming to the Herd.
That philosophy may have had some validity in the past, but coaches who try to practice this in the future qualify for the endangered species list. In the current musical chairs environment yanking a kids scholarship leaves the kid no choice but to leave. If you felt the kid was worth recruiting in the first place, you better plan on recruiting him for the rest of his career.
Coaches with the old idea that entering the portal is the end of your scholarship are only insuring one thing in this day and age-the end of their on jobs.
