Dang, if this is the real UNLV story, bad look for the kid.

I think he’s a senior transfer, right? So his next negotiating cycle…

The schools official statement all but confirms the kids side of the story IMO

He's going to have a hard time finding his next school.

So did Kingsley and Bagnah... and we took them

They didn't quit mid-year on their teams, to be fair.

Sep 26, 8:57am

Bagnah announced in tweet on October 29, 2022... very much midseason. Kingsley left Oct 21, 2021

Not really...his redshirt would be gone....baring injury can't really quit

He could refuse to play out of spite. If they believe it he’s not worth risk

No he won’t.

Some coach will certainly do everything to draw him in.

Every team employs mercenaries at this point. They may not encapsulate the

I think he is doing this because he is already aware of the school or schools that want him and what they will offer.

If the talent was there I guess, but he isn't blowing anyone away with his 2024 stats.

Sep 26, 8:00am

His ability as a runner will be appealing to teams who feel they can develop his throwing.

RootieBoy

Sep 26, 8:14am

It will be interesting to see I guess.

Sep 26, 8:22am

$100k also isn't a "blow away" QB number - that is probably more like $500k+

He's thrown for a total of 318 yards in 3 games. While 161 of those yards were

If he's a senior, he's thinking this may be his last chance to make some good

Meh.if you took a job and then had a new opp that paid 10x you’d take it. Not the most noble thing

Sounds like he was promised money that never came, per new reports.

Boring

Sep 26, 7:03am

Can’t blame him. He most likely won’t play pro ball so get the 💰 while you can.
