I feel like the settlement explicitly disallows this type of thing now. Doesn't it?

His form is absolutely terrible on all those lifts. Will love to see what Tank will do with this kid once he gets his hands on him.
I watched it when I saw this comment. I’ve never seen somebody have bad form on a trap bar deadlift, especially when using the elevated handles. That was crazy.

His arms are so bent of those hang cleans he’s upright row/reverse curling them.

The base strength is solid though.

Some really nice accurate throws. I might get shredded for this but the one thing that gives me pause at the next level for him is that his delivery is on the slow side from what I see. This might cause some issues at the next level as overall speed and reaction time picks up. It'll be interesting to see how he progresses mechanically because if he can get the ball out faster with that truly impressive accuracy he showed he will be an unbelievable QB. Definitely like what I saw though.

The Jeff Johnson article and reported leak from Tate on Altmyer's NIL paycheck (short version: Altmyer getting $1.1 million from Illinois. Tennessee offered him around $2.5 million and turned him down) is the perfect example of why the program needs to (continuously) improve their prep recruiting. There is great value of getting these players early so you can maximize your cost value of keeping your stars instead of trying to acquire them in the portal.

The bigger thing is we need to keep putting dudes in the league. To use BB’s words, it’s only worth it to take less “instant” NIL money if we’re proving we can get you the “forever” NFL money.

Relationships are worth a lot, but not enough to close that gap if we stop putting guys in the league. If that happens, you better go get that paycheck while you can.

Good thoughts, but Altmyer was a portal get.

Williams played quarterback his first two years at Illinois in 2019 and 2020. He played in four games his first season and took a redshirt. As a redshirt freshman in 2020, he started four games and played in one other. In his first career start, he rushed for 192 yards, which was a school record for quarterbacks.[5] Overall for the season, he completed 26 of 63 passes for 393 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions and rushed for 389 yards with a touchdown.
