Wow that’s definitely pay to play not how the NIL is supposed to workFor What It's Worth: I asked a good friend (neighbor on my street) that is a USC grad to run a check on the Caleb story with his big money donor buddies. My guy is wealthy but is not a USC donor or a football fan. He has extensive business holdings in SoCal with old USC GDI buddies that keeps him in contact. He knocked on my door a couple hours ago with a six of Anchor Porter (our favorite). He said big money has been offered but yet to be accepted to CW as of noon today. Based on two years with incentives like conference champions, natty champions etc. His guess of big money was $2.5 to $3.0 a year base with car and allowances. He was absolutely shocked with what he heard. He said "USC learned nothing from OJ". He had no idea who CW was before today and was shocked to learn high schoolers go to the highest bidder.
Flameouts will be commonplace. I want to laugh but this is what the nfl/ncaa asked for. What a terrible message football has created imo.NIL will become a **** storm Sooner or later. Wait and see.
You and me too, Woody. I hate it.Flameouts will be commonplace. I want to laugh but this is what the nfl/ncaa asked for. What a terrible message football has created imo.
And they're all full of themselves. Proven or not.They all do photo shoots.
Spill it coe!Just saw where Gentry Williams tweeted out about the new USC secondary coach.
He tweeted Elite, regarding Donte Williams being announced the new DB Coach and Passing game coordinator.Spill it coe!
It's a disservice too towards all of the other players whose decisions are gated by his.I guess I'm at the point that I really don't understand what is taking Caleb so long. I mean does he seriously not know where he wants to play next year?! This type of indecision should give any team pause that is considering bringing him on board and the boosters that are shelling out no telling how much NIL money.
Kudos.As a fan, I dont have any respect for CW or for his dad who seems to be in this for his gain as much as his sons. CW chose to hit the portal and like BS has said “ No one individual is bigger than the program”. The NIL crap is already rearing its ugly head with these high star athletes basically saying “ I am the program”. Screw that
I think OU has made the statement you wished for by bringing in Gabriel and then inviting Dart and Purdy to visit.....as well as signing Evers out of high school.Well if CW was going to OU he’s sure missing out on helping with recruiting. Selfish. I wish the coaches would just come out and end it with a statement so we can save some face and don’t look like we got left at the alter
JFC this little drama queen won't ever make a decision.Saw this on another board

Exactly. I’m not so naive to think that parents don’t influence their teenager children but there are too many fathers/mothers that go well beyond the average. Anytime a parent becomes the overwhelming decision maker it’s not good , IMO. So get a life, Carl.The more I read and hear from Carl Williams, the more it sounds like Caleb is his lottery ticket and he's driving all this. Just my opinion but I don't want the QBs dad being a drama lightening rod for 2 more years.
When Carl wakes up and realizes his mistake, and tries to get back in The Palace on the Prairie, is he going to find the gate locked? I believe he will soon be knockin' at the door...So UGA is off the table with Bennett returning for his senior year. Did Carl not learn anything about Riley last year. Rattler was the preseason #1 pick going to run away with the Heisman. What happened he got benched. Rattler was Rileys first true QB and he failed Rattler. When the chants of We Want Malachi, start happening CW is going to wish he was back in Norman. Plus no one watches West Coast football.
Exactly. If Williams was smart, he would stay in the middle of the country.Plus no one watches West Coast football.
And he would realize Riley is a very overrated commodity.Exactly. If Williams was smart, he would stay in the middle of the country.
Not arguing with you just genuinely curious why you think our defense will be so much better? All of our defensive line starters except Redmond are gone. I have my doubts that our transfer portal additions on the defensive line are going to easily replace Isaiah Thomas, Bonnito, Winfrey etc. I know BV can coach but that seems like a tall order to me.If it was truly about the NFL and not the NIL then he would have stayed put. He would have Mims, Wease, Stoops, M. Williams, Darby to throw to. Next year's defense will be night and day better and will get the offense on the field more. Last season the defense couldn't get off the field limiting QB playing time ( Kansas game). Hopefully, BV has had conversations with team captains on whether CW should be cut loose or should they try to keep him. Without the players behind you no QB will be successful
while I am not @ShamWowed I will reply anyway....Not arguing with you just genuinely curious why you think our defense will be so much better?

SoonerPride....your definitely right on this one!while I am not @ShamWowed I will reply anyway....
scheme will be much improved. that "speed d" nonsense actually made our good players worse and often Grinch's idiotic rotations took them off the field.
we will have a more sound scheme and the best players will be on the field.
that's why it will be better.
