Saw somewhere he wants to play DE but they moved him to inside LB. 

I don’t think he’s big enough to play DE, but is probably a better fit as an OLB-Edge player. Not sure why other than a need for numbers they wanted him to play ILB but it sounds like he was a Pruitt recruit who never bought in with the new staff. Like I said, maybe a change of scenery and new scheme is what he needs, but we really need all our portal guys to hit and I’d be leery of him.

The shitty part about college football now days is that teams are going to have to re-recruit their own players every damn year. Really crappy for the sport. Like honestly, our number 1 target for NIL stuff should be Xavier Worthy, not any of these 22s or 23s. Which is a ridiculous indictment on college football in general.

except Xavier Worthy is getting what he wants out of Texas, except the trophies. He's got the film, the coach, the opportunity. What else does he need?

@bad_teammate wtf are you talking about? Are you paying players some mysterious NIL deal that hasn't been visible or something?

The deal itself is visible in terms of him being publicly involved (It's an endorsement, after all). How much he is being paid doesn't seem to be easy to find with a lazy Google attempt. 

Maybe he's private. Maybe he only tells the people he thinks need to know. Maybe he's got it posted in his locker. Maybe there's a database somewhere I don't know about. Don't know and don't really care as long as he's happy and it helps us keep him. (As mentioned above, we're in some new waters where we worry about endlessly re-recruiting our own guys.)

I'm baffled at anyone who is canceling their Burnt Endz because of losses. We need this to get recruits, so the more the better. It's how you get better. More $ = better recruits

some of the members are just as thin skinned as the players they criticize about are.  So instead of quitting they stop paying.  I don't get it.

I get 18-23 year old players getting worked up emotionally and making bad decisions (portal/not portaling).. but as older, mature (?), adults in this board participating in this endeavour, I thought we were supposed to be better than this

We'll get a couple of wins under our belt and business will pick back up. When we get Ewers there'll be a bump, then when we get Arch.

I would like to know how to give to a couple of tackles who can play - ie not on the roster. Giving to our current TEs is kind of useless with regards to wins and losses.

If this is real, props to you. Things like this are especially valuable in tough seasons like this one. I just hope the guy is Bijan or Worthy because those are the two we can't afford to lose.

He started in one game and did well. Originally a LSU commit, he picked between Bama, UF and A&M. That kid didn’t want to come here. Not sure how we change his mind at this point.

Well there is the fact that Texas has 3 coaches currently at Texas he has familiarity with, so hopefully it was a Herman thing. My best guess is aggy because of Dekaney.

There is absolutely no value at all in private NIL deals to recruiting. There is value in private NIL deals to keeping a player in the program, sure.

If players are being taken care of they'll let recruits who visit know.

So is that one of the rules with NIL, that players can’t mention what they are getting? I find it hard to believe a 18-22 year old would keep that quiet very long.

Was a simple question, you are right I am naive to the logistics of NIL and have done zero research on NIL. I choose to be part of Burnt Ends given you all have done said research. Thanks for the clarification.

No one talks about it. These guys aren’t what you would call “normal 18-22 year olds” they aren’t trying to impress 17 year olds they are going to compete with. They are all friendly but very competitive. The tight ends don’t know what each others deals outside of burnt ends even are and we had to tell them it was okay to talk about with whoever.

Thanks, was all I was asking. I have a bunch of nephews, kids friends, etc that have played D1 so am not new to being around that age group, that was pre NIL though. They didn’t seem shy about trying to impress and includes a couple that are currently starting in the NFL. They also weren’t around recruits while i was present either. I definitely saw the competitive aspect though.

It’s more from the coaches and support staff. They can’t promise anything but they can say if asked “Jatavion Sanders received 10k last year and they intend to keep the program going every year”. Kids are more reserved, they may bring it up if asked directly but otherwise they keep it close to the vest especially as to not cause trouble with their other teammates.

I’m sure there are a couple people in the locker room currently that wouldn’t want the fact that Nate Hatter is making more NIL money than current starters. Which is why publicizing NIL deals is always the smart thing to do and why we try and promote it as much as possible. These last three pages would have not even occurred if Jaleel Skinner was committed in the class.

To address others in the thread bitching and moaning about NIL without Burnt Ends flair, firstly get your mind right or stop bitching. You can’t bitch about NIL without being willing to give $10 a month to something that’s actually worked.

Again, the burnt ends was always intended to be a proof of concept from @immamac and my dumb brain into the brains of smarter people with more resources. We chose TEs because it’s the smallest room and when crowd sourcing and starting from zero it’s better to try and pay 7 guys than 18 WRs or 22 OL. 10k to 7 TEs sounds better 3k to 22 OL and is a much more eye opening number. If we had more bandwidth to promote it I am sure it would get even bigger but losses and time has dampened that quite a bit. Sark also mentioned it was the second most important position in his offense, who’s to say if we had better TEs that the offense wouldn’t be running better? How do we get better TEs? You get the picture.

We are also working on something MUCH MUCH bigger than this but it takes time. First steps have been taken and the ball is rolling just slowly and most importantly methodically. Death Star wasn’t built overnight and this would weaponize the NIL bigger than any other school outside of Oregon. Things seem dark right now, no one has been more negative than I have but when people get mad instead of apathetic change can come quickly…y’all just need to hope people get mad.

If you have interest in helping in the future with NIL, hell even if it’s something as simple as being a gopher in Austin when I can’t get up there to do something or if you are a lawyer, CPA, work in advertising, graphic design, IT guy or would like to help fundraising please hit my DMs. We won’t need your help at this exact moment till certain steps have been fulfilled but I promise, we WILL need your help.

Oh and the Burnt Ends is a baller fucking name

Didn’t ctj just say that cooks transferred out because his teammates were talking about what they were getting in NIL and he wasn’t getting shit so he portal’d?

Hey, I said about ready, not there yet. I have a feeling the NIL will continue to make things worse, from my perspective. I quit watching the NFL years ago when it became more about the individuals than the team. We’ve been trending that way for a very long time and this is a huge leap in that direction.

Tennessee’s LB room is at best equal to ours, and likely even worse. And this kid couldn’t get on the field there. Maybe he needs a change of scenery, maybe he’s in the wrong system, but I wouldn’t expect too much.

Oh, you're one of those olds, huh? "These uppity athletes need to act like they've been there before. Back in my day Otto Graham just handed the football back to the referee politely after he scored the only touchdown of the game on a two-yard keeper. Three yards and a cloud of dust is the pinnacle of football."

I just prefer the Bijan “do your job every play and go back to the the line” over the Colburn “dance like a fool after my one good play of the game” type of players.
