Need to play CF and not show ZC until beginning of next year when it’s to late to poach him. I could see a scenario where ZC gets offered big NIL, CF transfers out as a graduate and we have only Lunch and the kid from CHSBR on the roster next year. That’s if he follows through on his commitment and signs. I guess Des would be forced to use the portal in that case.
We need to stop this “hide ____ so he doesn’t get poached with NIL” business. We need to play those guys who put us on the best position to win now, and if it is a younger guy with room to develop in the process, great.
We still have zero losses in the SBC West. You don’t bench anyone who gives us the best chance to win at their position because you’re afraid they’ll be tempted by trash trial lawyer money to go down the road. If they make that choice, so be it.
We’ll have to just move on and next man up.
The portal/NIL mean play your talent now, win now, because you have no idea how long you will have them. THAT is the new reality.
No, CF is the backup and that is the right move. Winning is the HC first priority and developing athletes to build your program is part of the responsibility. There is no hiding Zeon, every staff has someone in their organization tracking other program's rosters. Napier's staff knows who he is, Kelly's staff knows, Missouri's staff knows, Memphis and others.
It looks liked on some of the plays that saints put t.hill at qb, that care was still on field at wide out. Seemingly ignored but possibly open
Trying to hide your best players is a great way to gaurantee somebody else will be coaching them.
