You are correct. But the problem is that the SEC and the Big 10 have all the power and the current system only benefits them as it allows them to funnel all of the talent from the less funded schools. The Power 2 have the money to retain all their own talent and can take whatever they want from us. They aren’t going to change this system voluntarily.
After spring ball is when all the programs know if they are thin at defensive line or not. Many are and are willing to pay big $$$ to fix that. That’s why you are seeing so many D-linemen jumping into the portal now. This is when the D-linemen have the most leverage.
Yeah it sucks for us, but this is happening at all the P4 schools too. The P4s are also having to bid against each other for their own D-linemen.
You are correct. If he gets a guarantee from a NBA team that he will be drafted in the 1st round then that is a 3 year deal x $2M a year minimum and he will be GONE.
But that is a long shot.
The Arkansas message boards are sure their Chicken Man money will land Johnell but some big $$$ alums at Kentucky took Calipari leaving for the Razorback job personally and refuse to lose out to Arkansas again. Johnell is benefiting from that bidding war.
