If I'm a parent and considering how many of the five stars don't pan out even at the college level or become high draft picks in the NFL, I'd consider telling my kid to take the highest offer if it's substantially more than the second best just based on that.
You can make the NFL without going to Bama, Georgia or errr A&M. Don't wanna upset our friend here by not including his team in the post.
I am thinking the same. I mean there are so many things to consider. What if the kid is overrated and does not make it as a high draft pick? What if he gets severely injured and can't play anymore? What if he gets injured and it hampers him enough that he can't perform at a high rate anymore.
I don't know what these kids are being offered, but I have seen $750,000 for Nwaneri. At 18 years old, you can invest that and let it grow at a 6% rate a year and in 30 years you would have $4,307,618. 40 years? $7,714,288.
The key is keeping your dirty little fingers off of it for that long. If you can control yourself, though.....
Calculate me

If Wingo holds off his commitment until December which he has said all along is the plan, I think Tennessee has a fantastic shot.
Leading for Wingo now is kind of like having the #1 basketball team in February. You got a great chance but you worry you’ve peaked too early. Tennessee has been the only constant among his rotating list of top schools and he has an OV scheduled for November. The Missouri NIL would only benefit him for one month if he committed in December. So it becomes less of a factor.

Domonic left Mizzou is because he couldn't get NIL money anywhere close to Luther B. This despite being better on the field last year by quite a bit.
This is what I heard as well. NIL is going to be chaotic for awhile but think the market will stabilize. Dominic apparently had his locker packed up before the Arkansas game according to our rivals editor or the game prior even so when you take that approach it doesn't really favor your cause in getting the staff to work on an NIL deal for you.

He was getting recruited over anyway. Lovett knew he wasn’t going to see the field as much this year with the WR talent coming in so he transferred for a better playing opportunity.

Wait. You leading receiver with 847 yards and almost twice as many yards as you #2 receiver was not going to see the field as much? Who had y'all recruited that was going to take that much time away from him? I mean, I realize you have Burden, but I'm pretty sure you will use more than a one man WR set.
Lovett had 847 yards receiving and the #2 receiver had 457 yards.
Burden had 375 yards. If Lovett stayed at Mizzou I doubt he would have lost any time or anybody else would have transferred in.

It's the opposite. We were always going to bring in some outside receivers in the portal and Lovett was always going to have to compete with Burden for reps in the slot

Lovett wasn't getting recruiting over, stop it.
We were still going to bring in more WR, this is true with Burden and Lovett being slot receivers, Mizzou needed outside threat.
In most years, Mizzou would have not been able to really recover from the #1 WR transferring out. That is not the case this season. Wease, Burden, Miller, Jackson, Manning, Wayne, Houston, etc is the best WR group we have had since 2013.

Correct, Burden needed to be played at Slot, and Miller is looking like a legit outside receiver. Couldn't have both Burden and Lovett at the same spot, and Luther is better of the two. That plus bringing in a former 5* receiver makes losing Lovett perfectly fine. Would have loved to keep Lovett, but it was obvious we couldn't have both.

Is he related to Ronnie?

Lovett was your leading receiver last year. He was going to get extensive starting and playing time

They would have made it work lol

Have fun with him scoring no touchdowns, him only catching when the whole play is schemed for him to get the ball, all his yards coming between the 30's and no YAC

Duh bro, but it was a non starter for Dominic Lovett, he did not want to be in that situation.
No one is going to give him more than Burden when Burden is going to come do better and replace him.
Unfortunate, weird, NIL transfer loss.
Absolutely not how it's made out to be at all.

This was about money and ego. Him and his folks couldn't deal with him being Robin.

That sounds like some stupid bullshite
It was just a frustrating situation for him.

Sure you could make it work, not sure it would work best for the team, who knows. Point is, Lovett and Burden play the same position.

Seems like an odd take since he was ranked at #14 in the top WR's in the country going into this season by ESPN.
ESPN
No other WR on Missouri finished top 20.
That said, for whatever reason, Missouri just does not seem to ever get the respect they deserve. But to act like losing Lovett was not a big deal seems very odd.

I can see this. He had a former 5* breathing down his neck, and possibly gaining more time in the coming year. I just can't imagine there not being some way for your coaches to get them both on the field at the same time. It boggles my mind that they couldn't with a three WR set and sometimes a 4 WR set. If the coaches can't figure out a way to get your leading receiver on the field, then your coaches need to be horse whipped.

He did score 3 td's in Mizzou's shitty ranked #88 offense.
I don't mind the pick up.
