July 29, 20223 yr holy shit, he's actually going to visit TEXAS A&M of all places. you are a top 3 composite player in the country, have been committed to Lincoln Riley for over a year...and you are considering Texas A&M as a legitimate option for your future QB development? just imagine being a QB and looking at the Lincoln Riley offense vs the Jimbo Fisher offense and saying "yeah, I think that Jimbo's is better" lol Â

July 29, 20223 yr Man if A&M did somehow pull off a Nelson/Branch flip, they'd suddenly be competing for a top 2-3 class again easily. I just still can't believe of all places, Nelson would be looking at A&M though. Crazy. I guess the bags are still flowing heavily in CS after all, just took a while to open up this year.

July 29, 20223 yr  Interesting comment from Perroni. This segment from his note could be a thread title: "Walter Nolen sort of randomly showed up ... "  Â

July 29, 20223 yr Get it together, guys. If Malachi flips to A&M, I will personally pay special appearance fees to Drew Mehringer to fist futureman and Warehime to shit a golden football. At the same time.Â
July 29, 20223 yr The bag offer was already on the table. It's what got him there. He showed up to see if it might be worth it.
July 29, 20223 yr It’s smarter than doing nothing. It may sway a couple of guys to commit to them even though Nelson won’t come on board. They will just say that there is still good QBs on campus and that bringing in kids like Nelson is a possibility down the line.  Jimbo is good at this even if this is conning kids.Â
July 29, 20223 yr Cletus’ Razor says this backfires on them by pissing of Novosad, and they end up getting neither QB.Â

July 29, 20223 yr @closetojumping is your view on A&M this cycle changing at all with what's going on this weekend? Seems like they might be gaining some traction in this year's repeat bag effort.
July 29, 20223 yr They struck out on several QBs and now they're attempting to go full mercenary on Nelson. I'm not sure he was even on their radar until desperation kicked in. I really can't see this approach working with a roster even when considering all the talent. There are going to be so many transfers if this continues. Â

Could be an interesting case study on how to lock your guys down.
July 29, 20223 yr So if they somehow buy Nelson, does the pool party get truly aggy'd and become a proper name - "Pool Party". Â You know, so they can all give proper reverence, i.e. - Bon Fire instead of the bonfire or Midnight Yell instead of late night circle jerk?Â

That's why I've never understood recruits of Nelson's caliber not taking visits. Even if he's all USC this visit to aggy is going to drive the price up for USC. Get that money.Â

Get that money. Yeah all the big transfers do it for a reason. Nelson probably has some NIL advisor telling him to take visits. With that said, if USC can't put real money on the table, anything can happen

July 29, 20223 yr  Per Sonny Shipp (LSU 247), A&M DB commit Jayvon Thomas is at LSU for their recruiting event today. (As are Toviano, Sampson (WR), and several others.) Thomas is expected at the aggie event tomorrow. Â

A good agent will send kids into places with known bags flying around trying to get their school alums to pucker up and pay more. NIL is still in its infancy and the approaches being taken have obviously developed/changed quite a bit even this far in. I'm genuinely interested to see where things ultimately shake out from a contractual perspective. For instance, to avoid situations like you're describing, could the NIL payer for a given university (e.g., USC) include a "no shop" provision in any contract with a HS recruit - meaning, once the contract is signed, the recruit is prohibited from actively soliciting/entertaining offers from NIL collectives not associated with USC, taking visits to other universities, etc.? Let's assume for the sake of the hypo that the NIL contract in question is otherwise kosher legally. A "no shop" like that isn't tied to individual performance on the field, isn't a direct "incentive" for the recruit to go to the university, and doesn't appear (on its face) to run afoul of some of the other more obvious guidelines. I know that might all seem ridiculous at first glance, but these recruits/athletes now have the freedom to be compensated like an executive (or business), and do that with the security of written contracts with sophisticated counterparties, so in that sense it's only logical that some of the same legal protections used in the regular corporate world ("no shops" are just one example) would be used for the NIL payer's investment. Edited July 29, 20223 yr by derpyhorndog

July 29, 20223 yr To what parties does he refer?He didn’t reference anyone by name, but it was about an hour after he posted this. Maybe I’m reading between the lines, but I’m not tracking on any other recruitment that would make things interesting enough for him to post about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

July 29, 20223 yr Those pluses are the QB whisperer himself already improving Nelson's game. He'll be a 7 star recruit by the time this visit is over.
July 29, 20223 yr After how things shook out last year, did anyone truly believe that they wouldn’t have some aces up their sleeve again this year? Seal the deal with Nelson, Branch, and Hill and they are right back on a top 5 trajectory.Â

July 29, 20223 yr The real humor is if Nelson sticks with SC and Weigman decides to go baseball only.  🫥
