A number 5 receiver on a top 5 team will get paid more from a non top 5 team. The math isn’t hard on this one.

Doubtful since you don't know he was making.

I badly want Bolden to have some big moments the rest of this year. That guy blocks hard for his size and gives maximum effort when he's on the field, even though he's probably had a lesser role than he expected. 

I've literally never seen him take a play off since he put on the burnt orange. Even if he's a one year rental he will be fondly remembered by me when he's gone, that type of player is rare these days

He's not coming back because this is his fifth year and he has no eligibility remaining.

You know... he dropped a TD that was a deep bomb... which got him benched...

That drop was beyond terrible. It was a really competitive game and you just can’t drop a ball like that.

"Johntay, we think you are a fantastic talent and agree that you didn't get a fair chance at Texas. We may have a place for you at Oregon. But just for now, can you share with us your UT playbook so we can better understand how you were underutilized?"

Camar Wheaton?  you sure?

83/410/5 TD's. I didn't say he was world beater, just that he's doing good. 

I would take that right now with how our room looks. You wouldn't?

he’s a former five-star with 700 yards over two seasons of playing at SMU.  and he’s hurt and hasn’t played a snap this year.

Uhh okay 

 

One of the A&M mods initially straight up said that aggy wasn't interested lol I suppose that could change, but that would be an ego blow to him that not even aggy wants you.

*checks notes* team this guy just quit on just destroyed Florida and is the favorite for SECCG berth and has nearly locked down a playoff spot no matter what. 

 

. . . and A&M is currently borderline CFP at best.

So, you're saying there's a chance...

@boilerhorn Yeah, its honestly not that far from the real work world. 

If you're under performing and engage with management, create a plan to work with more successful teammates and mentors you're going to get a lot more wiggle room and opportunity. If it's still not happening and you go find a new job while still trying to do your current one, most of the time the the management is going to be supportive of your move to the new company.

Shit bagging on your company to co-workers and threatening to leave while under performing and making no efforts to improve.... GTFO

He needs to silence the negative voice in his ear.  Cut contact with this person and move forward.  Need to use this mistake as a learning opportunity and grow from it.

These guys were the biggest big men on campus in high school.  I'm honestly surprised how many of them ARE reasonably humble when they hit the 40 Acres.

Wide open, had defenders beat, but dropped way too many passes. The Miss State game was the nail in the coffin for Cook. Golden, Bond, Moore, Bolden and Wingo are more reliable. 

Honestly he should come up to SMU. He would do well there.

I can seek Oregon taking Cook, but I think he’ll get nowhere near the NIL deal he got from Texas, or that Stewart got from UO.

Hes going to really struggle to find a spot and will need to find someone desperate. ASU has already told him "No thanks"

There must have been a lot going on behind the scenes.  Normally someone will happily bring in a guy that was highly ranked even if he hasn't lived up to the hype.

I'm sure plenty of teams would take a chance on a former highly rated guy for minimal NIL commitment. If Cook still believes he's a star despite all the film he's put out to the contrary then he's going to have a hard time finding a team.

I don't want them to be humble.  Confidence is important, but reading the tea leaves leads me to believe that someone in Cook's camp has been in his ear.  I think the hanger-ons are the problem most of the time.

This.  Is there an uncle in the background telling him what he should be doing?

Gerry and Bobby both said there is someone in his ear and has been all year.

I'd estimate the probability of that happening to be about negative 30%.

Exactly. I'm humble as fuck. Come at me bro!

Actually looking a little more, does aggie actually have that vagina stripe on their real game pants? It's extremely emasculating.

That’s the draw strings on his pants

This kid is smarter than all the posters on this thread combined. He knows how to push buttons and how to market himself, and knows how true the “there’s no such thing as bad press” mantra is. Everyone is talking about him now and he can leverage that for more NIL
