Could he even shake more money out of the A's by doing this? Does have Boras as his agent...

Also he already *has* the baseball signing bonus money. If he gets an NFL situation he likes and goes that way then he'd have to give the bonus back, but that would mean he's gotten other money.

I don't really follow the NFL but didn't Bake Mayfield do pretty well this year? I ask because Murray took over from him and was better.

He can probably leverage some more money but he isn't going #1 overall and I doubt he goes 1st RD. What is he, 5'8 185lbs? I would have guessed was slated for the mid rounds at best. I wouldn't say Murray was better, they had the same stats.

For some teams it's newsworthy when they lose 5 star QBs ... for other teams, when they lose a walk on punter

I also don't know which skills exactly translate to what NFL teams want. Other than his height, are there any big concerns about his play?

The last team from the state of Georgia to win a national championship.

Also, Mark Dantonio press conference at 5:45. Probably going to announce that he's keeping his entire offensive staff and giving them big raises.

yeah he committed to go with Locksley to Maryland and then Michigan came calling... btw Jalen Hurts visiting Maryland this weekend.

So Bryce Love tore his ACL the last game of the year.

I really questioned why he returned last year and it's pretty much gone as tragically as possible for the guy. Just take the money and go, if graduating is that important to you, come back and graduate.

Hopefully Devin White doesnt make the same mistake

Maryland would be an interesting landing spot. Obv likely to be familiar with what Locksley is going to run, very winnable QB job (sorry Piggy, sorry Hill) and some decent talent on offense. Then again, Maryland is still probably at best going to be 4th or 5th in the B1G East.

I would argue a USC degree (as much as I hate them) is more valuable for a football player from California.

inferring from that post you're saying the public perception is USCw has more stringent admission standards for their football players than Stanford? (or are you saying the 'fame' of a USCw football player is worth more than a Stanford player?)

either way, GTFO

i know several Stanford football players through the years and there's no slack in their admission standards or degrees. it's not about getting admitted to Stanford on a FB scholarship, it's about getting admitted to Stanford.

USC take care of their own. Pretty obvious that is what I meant when I used USC as a counterexample immediately after stating Stanford alumni network doesn't care about football.

Also the fakeness of the degree doesn't have so much to do with the admissions standards as it does the coursework and load once you're there and busy playing football not school.
