re: Mack Brown told recruit to take NIL offer at another school

It may take a few years for programs to know that a 4 star Safety/athlete is going to be offered so much in NIL before taking into consideration all sorts of other stuff like marketability, projected time for development. Also certain middle men will emerge that will be slightly more trustworthy than others. If you are dealing with one of those guys as opposed to Uncle Boo who walks in with a pimp hat, you are going to trust the former a bit more.
