If CMS redshirts these top players, they will be in the December Portal.

Those days are long gone. If a player is good enough to play as a freshman, you better find a way to get them on the field enough to keep them on your roster if possible.

Redshirting is a guaranteed way to lose them to another school.
So far they walk that line pretty good, see Goodwin playing Special Teams. Albert sucked but that could have been he saw what was in front of him.

It is not "somewhat legal" for UT to pay money to players. That is still a violation. Read the NIL rule.
I know it`s still a violation, that`s why I placed that in quotation marks. Schools still do it and will until someone steps in to stop it and so far, no one has. That`s where the "some what" came in. Just playing with words.

SEC teams just got a healthy $50M pay day. Chunk of that will be funneled to TN boosters who'll then shoot it back to NIL. Expect a round of commits for them soon.
I read the total sum will be around $75 million each once everything is added in. And your correct.

Okay. When discussing basics of compliance and NIL, it is best to do it accurately because some people who visit this site do not know the rules. There actually are fans who believe NIL means schools can pay players now. The difference between illegal and somewhat legal is an important distinction. BTW, Chuck Person, Jeremy Pruitt, and Will Wade would probably contest your suggestion that nothing is being done.

There is a great contingent of players in this class from here in Georgia. Wilcox had an unbelievable season in Douglasville. Ohio State took a good look at him and offered. Hugh Freeze really wanted him. He should be a good player for us. Grant Godfrey is the son of Randall Godfrey. If you never saw dad play, just wait to see Grant. Another great signing. Tavion Gadson is a multisport athlete who was regional player of the year in their east Georgia district. They play good football in Savannah. These players will help us.

Grant Godfrey is an awesome high school Lbacker. His dad was an inside Lbacker. The son may end up playing on the edge, but he can do either. He is coming to Kentucky at the right time because he will be an important player on a good defensive unit with good TV coverage and NFL scout attention.

Yes sir, you just identified 3 players that,IMO, will be star contributors to our football team. All 3 played in quality programs in districts that compete at the highest levels.
