Other Sports: NCAA Thread v12

I would really like to know what happened with Zachariah. He was awful this year. It wasn’t coaching. He just didn’t have the same explosiveness. Terrible hands. Might have been the most disappointing player relative to expectations in the country for me.

10.7 yards per reception for a guy with his speed should be better imo. Granted he averaged 10.3 in his freshman year too but you’re probably grading on a curve there hoping for bigger development headed forward.

He’s still young enough & probably worth a squeeze for majority of the programs around the country.

Oh yeah, almost any team would be willing to give him a chance. I just wouldn't give him the big money that someone will. This is a guy with a Jordan Brand deal. He's not going to be cheap.

He’s fast but not all track guys are football players. Teams know how to kick away from him. His hands are ok not great. Doesn’t block very well. Doesn’t have great vision of the field. He wanted more touches this year but didn’t show that he deserved it when he was given an opportunity.

I’m thinking money is probably going to play a good bit of a role in his courting going by those schools listed. Even Louisville that sticks out like a sore thumb probably to most has a much better NIL program than what their general public perception of a football program is.

I’m assuming it’s probably the best NIL deal that will also take the brother too.

So Sacramento St strikes out on Vick, but gets Brennan Marion instead?! Talk about failing upward. Sheesh.

Schefter put out a ridiculous misleading tweet yesterday saying they’re investing $50M to NIL with no context.

It was a right message, wrong messenger type of situation with Doug Gottlieb calling him out for being misleading & running obvious PR for the people that gave him the information that Schefter responded too.

Vick going to Norfolk St instead

Saw that as head coach of USC, Lincoln Riley has recruited 12 top-100 players. 9/12 have transferred.

I was gonna post something earlier but got sidetracked & honestly forgot.

I don’t think they were as bad as their record suggests this year. They lost a lot of one score games which typically evens out over a long run (unless you’re Nebraska lol). At this point I’m not sure with the talent they’ve lost. They’ve also lost Woody Marks to the NFL draft who was their top RB. They’re losing a lot of guys especially on offense that played a lot of snaps for them last year & not replacing them with anything proven at least.

SC has had sixteen players go into the portal this season. Riley really looks incompetent. His buyout is too huge to fire.
