Burrell to Texas State

[RebelinWA]

This landing seems off to me. I have no proof, but something tells me his agent took him for a ride and promised him P4 opportunity. My guess is that those offers fell through, and by the time he recognized he was being taken for a ride, Unlv recruited over him.

Mullen said players were welcome to look. I imagine that also means do so at your own risk. Mullen doesn’t have to guarantee that he’ll save your seat on the bus.

I’m guessing he wanted to be a featured back and probably to get out of Vegas.

Yep he goes out. Tests the waters at the behest of an agent. Schools he said might be interested don't offer much if anything in NIL, UNLV signs RB from Utah plus Jet returning. Running back room getting full Texas State says we have room and you have a good shot at starting. Maybe a little NIL on top.. Agent says put a good year on tape bigger offers will come and back to the portal he will go..Agent still gets a little cut regardless of how small. With a chance for more again next year.

If it was that boneheaded a move, and the agent was the reason, it is another step towards me wondering why more players haven't started to sue the agents?

Wild…. Or he actually got more NIL at Texas state and will be their number one back. I hate college sports now

Just a theory but I can definitely see it play out that way.

He tests portal. Options aren't as great as he thinks in the meantime UNLV brings in another runningback now he has to weigh where his best opportunity is for playing time.

Oh there are definitely going to be some of these agents/handlers getting into trouble sooner or later.

He very well may have just wanted to leave Vegas. Lots of guys leave their home towns want to get out experience something new.

I have no issue with guys leaving. Just hope they are getting good direction when they do.

Texas State may have needed him more offered him a package, Mullen/Staff etc felt RB room was in good enough shape no reason to take up NIL money that could be used elsewhere.

Maybe he wanted to play against UNLV since he knows that Texas State is accepting an offer to the MWC.







Or maybe not.
