Exactly. Ultimately, there was a bidding war with USC and Georgia. How can you blame a kid if he make an extra $2-300k per year and over the next 4 years? That can turn into over a Million dollars that he might not see over the next 20 years.

You can’t but then again Ricky White didn’t bolt.

Tank vs Loma should be a good one.
Can Loma outbox him and avoid the hammer?
5 years ago I would say yes but right now I am not sure.
I will say Tank by late KO.

Loma is technically of of the best fighters in the last 25 years. But even 5 years ago Tank would have given him trouble. Tanks just so much bigger naturally. Plus Tank isn't some wild unskilled dude with power that Loma could pick apart. He's pretty sound defensively.

Would love to see Loma win, but I think he gives up to much size. Would need a damn near perfect performance.

(Wasn't knocking your post or take on the fight, sorry if it came off that way).

Just not sure it's so much an age thing vs a size thing. Loma wasn't a devastating puncher even at lower weights. Sharp puncher. Could get your attention, keep guys honest. Got his KOs through attrition typically. Tanks got a solid chin. I don't know if Loma can get his respect or even make him hesitant.

If he can get Tanks attention early, he's got a shot.

But I'm not sure he can.

The home loses to Southern Utah and Northern Arizona were brutal. It was tough being in the locker room after those games.

Lets hope we dont return to the bottom 5 list anytime soon.

Exactly, he went for the money. He was good for UNLV but i dont see a NFL career for him. I cant blame him for choosing a way to help him financially to get big bucks why he still has a chance to.

Wood did the same thing with hoops. Told everyone he was coming back. Coaches, faculty, fans … and then poof, he used a video to make an announcement just a couple days later, so obviously his intent was to leave altogether, but decided to lie to everyone about it.

It’s a tremendous character flaw.
