Heard from a good friend that our ex coach may be luring some of our players to transfer thru NIL offers. Also, that we have reached out to several businesses (some law firms) to make counter NIL offers.
Anyone else hearing this?

Haven't heared that, but we do have at least 3 lawyers on this board who may be able to answer that.Quote:

That would change my opinion of him forever. That's not wanting to see UL have continued success building on the foundation he created.Quote:

I’m not in the loop, but it’s logical.
It’s why I’m not enamored with Des getting too many coaches that all fish in the same pond. Napier made a name in Louisiana and he’s now in the pond too.

Torrence
M. Gardner
Bailey
Johnson
Smith
Hill? (Is he too small)
These are sec level players. But RB’s are not a hot commodity. Torrence could start for just about anybody.
I’m sure there are others but these were the most obvious to me.
If true. I'm done with Billy, and dont see how i can root for him anymore
If true, my respect of Napier and the staff that went with him would be a 180 for sure.Quote:

I surely hope it is just a rumor!
Me too, but I wanted to get it out on RP for obvious reasons.Quote:

I would venture to say that there may have been just as much money in the bag man with the bigger P5’s as there will be in NIL . . . It’s just legal now . . .Quote:
