Wow, this could be real interesting. I don’t know what all of the intricacies of these deals are, but if you can get away with a tampering, then why even have the portal.

If anyone’s asking, yes, that’s how it’s signed.This
1. there are no rules. 2. NCAA has no teeth
Misunderstanding.
Swinney slams Ole Miss 'hypocrisy,' calls out 'whole other level of tampering'
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney ripped Ole Miss coach Pete Golding's alleged direct tampering with a Tigers player and lamented the current landscape of college football that encourages such malfeasance.

There's rules--they're just no ramifications for ignoring them lol
Ultimately--Ferrelli decided to go Ole Miss and Dabo is just angry because he hates the portal--he finally tried to work the portal then this happened.
Ferrelli committed to Arizona then Stanford and then Cal before ever signing with a team--he then committed to Clemson then Ole Miss
Nothing new for Ferrelli. Dabo pretending to be shocked by this is kind of funny honestly.
Well it seems they have accelerated the portal to start during the season.

I think that’s the kid! He’s the kid Rojas was openly recruiting for PSU.
Has ole miss issued a statement about the Luke Ferrelli situation? I couldn’t find anything. Maybe they’re just hoping that it blows over.
If you chase excellence, the money will follow. If you chase money, you will most likely self-destruct. And for God's sake have a plan.
Poor guys, can’t figure out how to hold on to millions.
Bad decisions aren't anyone's fault but the one making them
It's not any different than millions of others who weren't smart enough for college aside from the fact they were handed cash and an opportunity
Those life lessons should have been taught well before college. With that being said, these programs should provide a mandatory course on finances, investing, scams, life after football, mental health etc. it should be a full semester (or more) and attendance is a requirement to play.

that was cade uluave. he was also a LB from CAL but went to BYU instead.
Agree a 1000%. Turning these entitled athletes into men used to be a part of the college experience. They used to learn to value education and what it takes to be successful in life or at least that was part of the experience for some programs.
Now it's just show me the money.
We shouldn't overlook the influence of families on these situations either. I'm certain, having worked with hundreds of families for more than 40 years, that a lot of kids are being pushed into situations that they would not typically. In this current environment longer term solutions, like study and get that four year degree, just aren't valued. "Get your bag now!" thinking isn't new. Just that the means have changed...again.
Craziness. Makes you wonder how committed those players are to the team during he season.During the season?
False. They gave him a chance. His first target want through his hands and hit him in the facemask. Would have been a td.
What did he do to earn more playing time?
Why didn't terry smith play him?
Will you spend next year complaining about players not playing up to their nil?100+ players won't all produce exactly to the level of their deal. Guarantee there will be players every season that underperform their deal.

It does. What happened to PS in 2025 will be speculated about for a long time. Will meltdowns like it become more frequent?

I can think of one player who dogged it probably to get more $$$, and keep from getting hurt.
He was who i thought he was.
Your right he didn’t catch the ONE pass thrown to him so he was a bust - you post makes zero sense.
It was more than one target.
He had zero targets, zero reps in the bowl when Smith was coaching. Ironic that some expected him to stay with the coach who gave him zero reps..
You forgot... how to tell all your "buddies" to go pound sand when they come asking for money.
Yup. And they could have Allen Iverson teach that course.
ESPN lists PSU as the #6 Portal Class behind LSU, TxTech, Indiana, Texas and duhO$U (link)

Tikey Hayes -- What is the latest I don't think he landed anywhere I would love as a PSU fan for him back in the Blue and White

The grass is not always greener.
That said, I think the young man has been replaced. And should Spell commit, he would be better off not coming back to HV.
Impressive that even when there are basically no rules, these SEC programs STILL manage to break the rules.
