gives a whole new meaning to collateral damage
JC turned 21 during the season. He should definitely be able to improve his draft stock by coming back.
There's no method within the NCAA to speed things along. I think they're stuck behind the curve for years at this point.
I think the NCAA has thrown up their hands and abdicated all oversight responsibility to the courts. Their main role now seems to be as a clearinghouse to take the latest court decisions and roll them out to the rest of the teams. That, and to hold tournaments.
Getting JC Davis back for another year would be huge
would be our biggest get (besides Luke) of the silly season
Let’s get Davis, Jacas and X to come back.
Good pick up from FSU. Needed an experience DL. Welcome.
He doesn’t have much to experience
Dare to dream....Get Luke and JC back, get Feagin and Rusk healthy, add one more impact WR in the portal.....would be one of the top offenses in the conference/country
And an easy decision. Pay Davis before anyone. He's proven in this system.
Te- Arkin
Lt- Davis
Lg - Gesky/ transfer/ Schuster
C - Kruetz/
Rg- Henderson/ Crisler /Hansen
Rt - Priestly
Te- Rusk
Qb- Altmyer
Rb- Faegin, McCray, Laughery, Valentine
Wr - Elzy, Dixon, Beaty, Bowick, Hollins
That’s a very good offense and I could still see them adding at te and wr.
100%. I’m comfortable paying JC Davis. Paying McVay 1.5 million is crazy
We still have a lot of snaps to replace on the dline
What's the program record for penalty yards? Priestly would have a great shot at that.

The money is crazy.
Did the other UW DL transfer (Thompson) decide yet?
When revenue sharing starts and the players are directly paid by the school, will those salaries be published officially? Some of the numbers from NIL I think are bs
Is there really some Duke booster that wants to pay a Tulane QB more than what the NFL would pay? What return is the booster getting from investing this money in this QB?

Jimbo Fisher just got a check for $70 million from TAMU to stop working. Return on investment is not a thing. Even if we want to act like it is, a really good P4 QB is worth more than $4 million/year.
TAMU can pay that because they are getting TV money that allows them to still turn a profit. It’s still a business for them even given what a coach costs.
But with NIL, it’s still rogue donors deciding to pay a player 4 million. These are essentially fans paying players. Where is the return? That’s why I think the numbers quoted are mostly BS.
This could be a deal where they get 500,000, and then a 3.5 bonus if Duke goes undefeated and this QB wins the Heisman. Incentives that will likely never be hit.
No he hasn’t. He would be a very good addition. Briggs played 600 snaps so it’s a lot to replace. I think we are set at nose now
How do we do it with Altmyer...?
Hopefully it's locked in. That Duke number suggests that the same escalation we saw in basketball is coming to football.
About April 10 Storr asking for $1 million was nuts. By the end of May it was a modest amount.
Of course at this point it's an expensive laugh line.
With that kind of football money……you need to pay more in taxes!! Go Illini!
