Portal thread. Who’s leaving, who’s coming.

I'll bet he doesn't see the field next year, after playing us for more money repeatedly.

Which would be a monumentally stupid decision, so you're probably right.

So coach Pittman paid a kid to love him. Got it

[The Whyte Boar]

Well, why not?  I mean Coach Pitt said he would practically do the job for free.  He talked about how much he loved it here.  He said lots of stuff.  Then as soon as he had a little success, he dumped his agent who got him the job, hired Jimmy Sexton and said "Pay me my money."

Why be mad at a kid for doing the same thing?  And really, Sam made enough in one season to set him up for life, but this kid has to get his while the getting is good.

[DRYANKNPULL]

I might be the only one, but I ain't even mad at the kid.

Same here. It's the game.

[FNG]

I might be the only one, but I ain't even mad at the kid.

I feel sorry for him.

It seems to me that the father's interest in maximizing the profit he can make off the fruit of his loins is the problem. What 18 year old kid doesn't want (consciously or otherwise) to earn their father's love and, in this case, earn appears to apply literally.

I doubt he stays at Arkansas throughout his eligibility; pathological father-son relationships are difficult to resolve.

No doubt this kid's father is fucking with his brain and his career.  Another reason for NIL and portal need structure. Kids should have to have legit agents and schools and ncaa should require instruction in the rules and in managing money.  You think daddy gonna pay those taxes?

When the great Tyron Smith was drafted by the Cowboys, he was a great ball player but coaches and players noticed he was troubled.  It got to Jerry and he put his security team in it as he was concerned a gang had their hooks into him.  The surprise was it was his parents.  They were forcing Tyron to sign his games checks to them and gave him like $200 a week to live on.

Jerry brought him in and team therapists, captains, the OLine, Jerry and staff began an intervention process. Cowboys legal initiated all kinds of legal shit, threatened both with Texas prison, and they left the state and gave Tyron back what money they could retrieve. 

Shameful

[egregious]

People point out how bad it is when Daddies run off and it usually is, but sometimes it is for the better.

[RPL]

You may not be the only one.  I don't know.  But I am mad at him.  I'll bet he doesn't see the field next year, after playing us for more money repeatedly.

Whatever the amount is, it may be a good thing so that he's not running the ball down our throats for a team in blue and red.

[billyhog]

After seeing that tweet, I'd cut his ass after the bowl game.

 

[Piggielicious]

It sounds more like that he thought he would get more than he was getting from Arkansas and found out there isn't a big market for rbs that rushed for 300 yards and 2 tds. He will likely go back in the portal next season. 

I guess the market for injured and overrated OLs and TEs is better.

[vegashog]

got an offensive lineman from ole miss. looks like he redshirted this season.

Well this will be an excellent development year for him (probably)

[hit_that_line]

Charlotte WR should be on board soon. 24 YPC.

[Barton Fink]

This shouldn't take long

[BleedinRed]

I mean, he already announced he is transferring.  Is there much of a story to break on this?

[Mazeppa Pompazoidi]

I think the story is about his haircut.  I can't wait.

But if you are a real fan you'll wait until after Grit gets his coon pelt cut.

[Thin Red Swine]

And then Kiffin will take him back.

That's the best post in this thread so far.

I'm guessing this is, at most, a twice a year occurrence.
