MSU should saved some of that money for a Oline.. Without a Oline he is going get hurt again.

That'd be a crazy amount.

They better get some guys to do with him.

State spending 7.5-9 M for Kamario is an absolutely terrible decision.

It’s $7.5M base with $1.5M in bonuses, allegedly.

Won’t mean a thing unless there’s another $10M just for OL portal talent

State NIL was around 26M this year. I’m sure it’ll be more next year but I wouldn’t expect it to go up too much. Spending 30% of it on 1 player is something.

is it worth it to pay that much when even a bowl payout won't offset that spending

a bowl would be their ceiling

For one year? That’s insane. Hard no. Take half of that and find some O-linemen.

If they can't afford an OL or skill players, they could have Tom Brady back there and it wouldn't matter. I get they want to change the optics, but won't do much for them

He should come on down to SC and be Lanorris Sellers replacement!



I kid, its been great having sellers stay and be loyal. MSU deserves that as well

This was never in doubt for a single State fan.

Others who know have said closer to $30M, but that’s a good ballpark.

We’re coming off our biggest year of AD donations ever, I’m guessing we’ve held some to make a push this offseason. We’re never going to have $50M every year for a roster but could probably put it together for one big push.

Hoping we publicly lock in Kamario and now get to pitch the chance to play with him for one special year in Starkville.

The rest of the roster will be dogshit again, but as we saw this year he's good enough when healthy to carry them to wins against decent to good teams.

8-4 Mississippi State is likely in a 24-team playoff next season, so this is as good a time as any to push your chips in if you're State boosters.

Smart move by MSU. Guy is going to be a top 3 pick, maybe 1st overall. You want that guy saying he's from Mississippi state on his nfl intro and maybe throwing some money back to his alma mater when he gets his 2nd nfl contract. The money and attention it brings state if he has a successful season and makes a run at or wins a heisman easily justifies the cost
