Maybe just maybe, Maiava like UNLV for real? After some emotional loss vs SJSU and Boise he acted differently?
Let's talk about QB differences. Maiava is a Pro Style QB. Right? Ok. UNLV is recruiting a dual threat QB. One of them throws a side arm throw. The ball is flat and get there fast and he can run. At this level, is that something we want to see if it works? That is a playground QB. Most definitely not a D1 QB.
So he never did say he was going to the portal? … that was all rumors/inside info?
Was that his emotion of wanting it that bad - and realizing he let the team down?…. is that bad?.. I would want that every day from a freshman! The game was over at that point, which he realized… that’s not how he reacted in the first or even the 2nd turnover. He was fighting the whole time.
Same reason why when linkedin recruiters contact you and you ask what they're offering you don't tell your boss till you're ready to get a counter or leave...
I completely get that analogy, but this man took a picture which was then posted. Or was that a picture taken sometime ago and posted to do damage control lol. Idk. Just a conspiracy.
Yeah, I’m not a fan of tears during gameplay.
He can be on campus and be in the portal. It’s not like once you decide to put your name in you have 3 minutes to pack your shit and go. That photo very well could have been taken after him telling someone he was entering. I doubt the unlv pullover is any inclination either way
No, for sure i understand the process of it. Im just wondering if that picture was taken before for whatever reason, and it was posted to make it seem like he was staying for sure/damage control.
Or play in bowl games with the gifts they give you or eat free food on campus, etc... seems like entering the portal is more like going to a networking event where you expect to get people to reach out to you about job opportunities but your still representing your company on their dime...
Just because you go in the portal doesn’t necessarily mean you’re leaving the program. You can still go back, but the program doesn’t have to take you back either. I assume SC is going to try and get the player back, hence the use of barbershop etc.
We forget these players are still kids. Hell, even those in the NFL are in their early 20s. We truly forget.
Which is why they should not be getting that type of money from NIL. Immaturity and kids do not go along well with each other if there is no supervision.
I'm not sure the school could keep you from it, could they? I mean, even if you're in the portal, at the moment, you're still a scholarship athlete and full time student at the school that you're enrolled at.
I'm not sure about all that. I thought if you went into the portal you really aren't part of the team any longer. Isn't that why coaches try to re-recruit you back. The coach can also say goodbye and not even accept you back. A player takes a chance on going into the portal. Obviously, the better players don't worry so much.
I just listened to an NCAA power point presentation on the interwebs. It does say that if the school chooses they can terminate your athletic scholarship for the next school term. So, even if you don't transfer the school could still take away your scholarship. So the school does have a choice. Keep you or let your financial aid go away.
I always thought that scholarships were a year long commitment, but I could be wrong. If a football player were to be removed from the team in the 1st semester, I'd think that the school would still have to honor the scholarship, unless there is some criteria in the scholarship agreement that addresses it.
NIL had nothing to do with my comment. It had more to do with those sitting in the stands having issues with these kids getting having an emotional reaction to the game for whatever reason; whether it's their bad play, letting the team down, losing, whatever.
Tebow was crying after blowing it against Alabama. Some of these guys give a (bleep) and I’m not going to dump on them for it. They were that close to winning a conference title.
The way he did it didn't bother me at all. Caleb Williams jumping into his Mom's lap at the end of the game on the other hand is a little concerning.
I hear what you are saying. They're kids.
I only use kid because he's like 20 years younger than me, lol... I agree they are adults, adults cry too when things don't work out the way they planned sometimes.
Confirmed @lobbybuu is Coach Odoms burner account...
Then the case can be made that why get all worked up about a sport? It's just a game. We see A LOT of verbal crying (& wasted emotional investment) - YES, I SAID IT -from grown men every year on this site over something that is essentially meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Concerning ourselves that much in sports (& other entertainment) takes the focus off the truly important things going on around us. Truly a time waster don't you think?
