So will Title IX and TV rights and limits on scholarships and the 3 point shot and a shot clock and on and on.  It’s amazing it got this far.  RIP

From The Athletic:

Georgia quarterback JT Daniels, who started two games this year, is transferring after Stetson Bennett IV, his replacement, finished the year as the starter and won a national title. Many viewed Daniels as the more talented quarterback, and some fans are already mad about retaining Bennett, who won them a national title … two weeks ago. I love college football.

Little light on good experience but literally nobody could be a better hire for selling the mystique and pride/potential of the Hawaii program

Lol Badger fans were already celebrating Caleb Williams joining their team.  Just committed to USC.  Sad.

But hey, at least the top rated pro style quarterback recruit in the country coming out of high school is still under center for them.

I'm not sure why Williams even opened his recruitment, USC seemed like a pretty foregone conclusion.  But then Wisconsin thinking they would be the destination for the top QB transfer on the market was amazing.  Beyond that hilarity, talk about making no sense.  The best QB to play for Paul Chryst was...Tom Savage?  His QB situation at UW has been a literal parade of highly touted prospects who flame out or transfer.  But sure, a future first round pick who was a revelation this year and also found most of his success in a spread system/air raid system wants to come play pro style with Chryst

New OC Bobby Engram's son, who is a sophomore at UW, was a high school classmate of Williams'.  IMO it was clearly a curtesy and was a long shot. 

Alex Hornibrook was clearly his top QB.  His sophomore year they went 13-1 with the only loss being a six point defeat to Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship.

And 99% of Badgers fans wanted to send Hornibrook to the moon on a rocket ship

Cause he stunk the next year because he had no one to throw the ball to with Cephus' suspension.  I generally agree with Wags' premise that top QBs struggle at UW, and I think most of that is due to a complete lack of talent at the WR position.

From The Athletic:

Maryland hired Kevin Steele to be its defensive coordinator just last week, and the 63-year-old veteran coach was working the recruiting trail as late as Tuesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon, Steele had accepted a job to become Miami’s new defensive coordinator under Mario Cristobal.

That's right -- this guy stayed with his new team for a whole week before bolting for another new team. But yeah, it will kill college sports that football and basketball players have freedom of movement.

He never signed a contract.  Same way a player that has only verbally committed but never signed could switch to whatever school they fancy

Sure, but players who verbally commit don't "unofficially" start working for the school. Anyway, I know you agree with me, so let's not argue over semantics. Thank goodness football and basketball athletes finally have the same rights that all other college students -- and even non-major-sport athletes -- do.

Looks like the Brian Harsin disaster is going to over at Auburn. Apparently having an affair with his assistant who he brought from Boise. Or maybe everyone knew that and this is the way to get him fired for cause right after signing day.

They should probably go get that guy from Central Florida.

Tennessee's top recruit, a 5-star QB named Nico Iamaleava who will start play this fall, apparently has NIL deals worth $8 million.

From The Athletic:

It’s hard to miss Nico Iamaleava on a practice field, as The Athletic’s Andy Staples writes. He’s 6-foot-6 and plays seven-on-seven football in loud pajama pants.

The five-star quarterback, committed to Tennessee, has a silky arm, a smoother personality and the business acumen of a mogul. Though not overtly confirmed, Staples surmises well that Iamaleava is probably the $8 million NIL star detailed in this Athletic piece from March. Iamaleava checks all the boxes.

https://theathletic.com/3178558/2022/03/11/five-star-recruit-in-class-of-2023-signs-agreement-with-collective-that-could-pay-him-more-than-8-million/?source=pulsenewsletter&campaign=4036789&email_login=mikenadel%40sbcglobal.net

Those pajama pants, by the way? They’ll be for sale soon, just one spoke in the NIL wheel.

Why Tennessee? Spyre Sports, a Knoxville, Tenn.-based marketing agency, is on the forefront of NIL deals, like that rumored $8 million deal for the “unnamed” recruit. Staples noticed that within hours of Iamaleava showing up for an official visit to Tennessee last week, the quarterback was at a meet-and-greet with Tennessee fans at a Knoxville ice cream shop.

It’s clear Iamaleava has the personality, and he clearly has the talent as a five-star prospect. But he hasn’t played a down of college football yet. We’ll see if he can live up to the $8 million hype.
