Ole Miss Pitcher to UL? NOT

See what Geaux said. He may know the same bird.

My bird is KK. He is the most reliable and consistent.

That is exactly what they are doing. You don't need a scholarship if you get money and other benefits to cover school.

Can you name one non scholarship athlete that got an NIL deal? I am not familiar with any. I am aware that they are using NIL as bargaining power on top the scholarship offer.

It looks like everybody is lost and there is no bird to be found.

I did. And my response to Mr G was not about this kid specifically. It was more of a generality. Kids won’t be offered NIL deals without scholarships. Schools ,at least not yet don’t say, I don’t have any scholarships left offer you but if you come here I’ll get you an NIL deal worth XYZ amount of money.

Im not sure that you are correct on this. Ill tell you this much….at 11.7 is split up so many ways that baseball kids RARELY get more than 25-30%. And not every kid gets money. So in the situation that a school is “out of scholarship money” and said player becomes available in the portal that is a cant miss kid and will impact a team immediately…i can see a kid being a “walk on” yet get a NIL deal to cover all the cost of tuition, books, room and board, and meals. Its not gonna happen on all levels of college baseball, but its happening at the top tier of college baseball. Thats a fact. Ill go one step further…there are some instances in college baseball that NIL deals are being “sweetened” for kids to forgo the draft and arrive on campus. The possibilities are endless now with NIL money.

I agree it will happen. But you are wrong there are no cases of NILs going to walk ons at this point.

While anything can and will happen at some point for some off the wall reason, it will always be an outlier.

If any NIL investor has an extra dime to invest, he/she will certainly be using said dime to lure the best possible player, not a walk-on.

Prove it.

You are not a NIL charity case until the money changes hands.

There are no cases of NILs going to walk ons at this point.

I already quoted you earlier on this.

Walk-ons (the restaurant) has such a hyper focus that it is an extreme outlier, so much so that it has no NIL merit.

Don’t fool yourself, there is plenty NIL going to non-scholarship athletes in baseball and softball
