Really don't care to have players here that sign and then change their mind.


They’re all hired guns that don’t care. Enforce the contract and make them stay or force whoever signs them to pay out the rev share portion of their contract.

I get the dottery thing and I'm sure lane has been in Harper's ear since they lost all those lineman and he's from lousiana. I do not get princewell. He excelled as the season went on and we return so much of the defense he was set up to have a big year. His brother boosted his draft stock here. Would love to know what happened

I have no sources or anything but him waiting until the night before the portal closes is pretty telling. Especially after he and the school announced he was staying.

That being said, it wouldn’t shock me if Lane is throwing him a bag.

Sounds like we think Dottery is gone then. If we sign another LB then that’s all she wrote

100%.

For what it's worth this GT player is ranked way higher in the portal

USCw implemented a policy of “If you’re committing to us, you are committing to us.” This all day.

If lane is really behind a lot of all this stuff happening with players with signed deals hearing about others pay and getting in the portal, it's time to take the gloves off. If even 10% of the rumors about him are true, find the receipts, pay whoever has them if you have to, and leak it everywhere and to everyone. Make sure every mother out there knows he won't just leave their son for another team, he'll also leave them while struggling to cope with a midlife crisis and a breakup with a teenager

Seems more like a Chris Jones replacement. This guy should be a depth piece not a starter. He was a backup weakside LB at Ga Tech.

He didn’t enter the portal to stay.

Well, we definitely need more LBs regardless.

Waiting for separate confirmation, but I think Blake Purchase (Oregon, Edge) just committed.

A lot of kids use it as a tactic in negotiations but I don’t think that’s the case with him
