I'm pretty sure the Lord encouraged people to keep their word. This is the society we live in and many people will find this acceptable. I do not. This isn't some pressured high school kid. The team with the most NIL money should not be the winner of this guy's services. If he picked us over iowa because we had more NIL money, then that was wrong as well. Good riddanceI’m just glad that the his faith in the Lord helped him get a better NIL package in Norman or whatever he said in his tweet
Keeping your word and having principles will take you far.
I love it when someone who just went back on their own word, says "I'm all in like he's some kind of honorable person"> I think he should rephrase it to say: "Because they gave me a lot more NIL money, I'm all in for oklahoma". That's more truthful. This is the kind of person I would never hire.
The fact of the matter is that he agreed to come here under whatever NIL money was available to him. This guy is not honest in his business dealings, pure and simple. It's like when an employee says they are leaving for another job with a competitor for more money and the company offers to match that salary. Why weren't they paying that in the first place. People's word just isn't worth what it used to be and if you are ok with this, then I question where our society is going.
The point is he committed to NU, then reneged after oklahoma offered more money. If we have to get players that way, then count me out. He did agree to some kind of NIL deal, it wasn't like he was coming for free. This is not acceptable
He agreed to come here, so the bidding war seemed to be over
They're trying to get some players, yes... but it seems as though he's hesitant to get into bidding wars with other schools. Seems like we make an offer, and if another school makes a counter-offer, he backs off. Not saying I'm right with that assumption, just the feel I'm getting.
This is probably true!! But I hate it has gotten to this point. NCAA athletes are basically in a semipro league
Where is Rhule defying the portal and NIL? I think he has fared well in the portal so far and if I'm not mistaken, I think he also got a former 5 star and 4 star from Florida. I do not blame Rhule for not getting in a bidding war on NIL. Compensation cannot be the only reason a kid should want to come here. Atmosphere, opportunity and compensation should all be factors in their decision. Let's not throw shade on Rhule for little to no reason. If you are enamored with what Deion is doing, well good on you.
Both of the Florida kids were former 5 and 4 star kids, just like the two from Georgia were former high star kids. All of them were relegated to backup roles and are looking for playing time. None of them look to be highly sought after, except to lower tier programs like Nebraska currently is. I will check on Deion's new recruits to see if they are currently 5 stars or if they were former 5 stars.
nli might come to the portal as well
