Tate Martell 2.0.....he will be at SMU in less than 2 years.
FC: Top Ohio State recruit Quinn Ewers considering skipping senior HS season…
- Thread starter Midnighter2
- Start date
This is no different than professional draftees singing shoe/apparel deals prior to ever putting on a professional uniform. Gotta lock up the talent before someone else does, even if some don't pan out.
SIAP: Speaking of Tate Martell, he's now taking his talents to Vegas.
Source: Ex-OSU, Miami QB Martell to join UNLV
UNLV is set to add former Ohio State and Miami quarterback Tate Martell as an athlete, a school source confirmed to ESPN.
It’s scary to see the worst hairstyle in history making a comeback.
Not entirely. Over the years, Jeff Kessler gave the NCAA any number of opportunities to reach an amicable compromise. But, no, Dumb Donnie Remy had something to prove and here we are today (and now he's going to fvck up the VA).
I haven't been keeping up with this story but surely OSU plans to redshirt the kid, right? A true freshman is one thing but you can't put a 17 year old kid under center in the B1G can you? I know kids are bigger and stronger than when I was in school but can't see how he'd be physically or emotionally ready for that after a Junior year of HS to prepare.
I've been reading about it on Eleven Warriors and this can't be a good thing if Ewers enrolls. Think about it, OSU will have all of their QBs this year with freshman status - 2 redshirt and 2 true freshman but they can't say NO to Ewers - I guess. That kid just seems to be a cancer and about to disrupt the chemistry. Look for OSU to recruit another 2022 QB - especially since a couple of those blue chippers transfer out after this year
Pretty sure Ewers is 18.
Some think they are going to go after Allar now for the '22 class (labeled as Day being a savage on 11W).
Some Barton guy from another Buckeyes site brought forth the first rumors of this ("a kid who isn't on the roster will likely start in '21 for the Buckeyes"), got trashed for weeks over it, and now some are coming around to be like, "huh, he might have known something".
If this kid was already planning to enroll in January, I don't think 5 months of NIL money is going to be all that much for a kid some seem to think is going to RS.
He's got just as much college football experience as the other 3. He ain't coming to lift weights. He's coming to play. How it works out is to be seen.

I'm not worried about Allar. No 2022 QB with any sense would entertain committing to a program with three 5* QBs in the class immediately before them -- one of whom is being described as a generational talent. Even if Allar were an OSU fan -- and I've seen no indication he is -- he's not walking into that logjam.
I think OSU will probably focus on getting a top-tier 2023 QB instead.
I don't think it makes sense how it currently sits with the Buckeyes. I don't see how they don't have one QB gone within the next 7 days and another in the portal before week 1.
I'm not personally worried about Allar, but it has been brought up.
I think they do pursue a '22 QB because even in some best case scenario (Stroud/Miller wins the job, the other transfers, McCord is content being #2, Ewers is intent in a RS year competing to start next year), you need another QB in the on deck spot.
Who knows how much he'll collect. Would not surprise me if GTSM isn't around in three years.
I mean, this company is in the autograph selling business. How much will they charge for an autograph to get their $1.3mm worth out of him?

They probably don't know. My guess is that if we were able to read the contract, we'd find that it is for as much as $1.3mm depending on certain conditions being met (number of appearances, number of autographs signed, etc). I'd further guess that if Ewers doesn't become a star, he won't have oportunities to max out the value of the contract.
On a side note, his former HS is doing just fine without him. They opened with a blow out win over Highland Park (two time state champ a few years back). Both HP and Southlake are very affluent Dallas suburbs. They game was dubbed “The Gucci Bowl” in local papers
They seem to host autograph signings for a range of current and former athletes, including Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, Emmit Smith, and Saquon Barkley. The cheapest autograph I’ve seen from some random unknown baseball player was $4.62. The other guys cost a lot more (up to $125 for certain Bo Jackson items).
Probably so, but in the meantime OSU gets a nice recruiting perk by having this $1.3M deal circulated in social media. That kind of money is pretty ridiculous for a kid that hasn't taken a single meaningful snap.
Of course. All parties benefit by making the deal sound as good as it possibly can be. It's only killjoys like me who want to see the fine print.
WELL,
"Oklahoma QB Spencer Rattler, the Heisman Trophy favorite, is the first CFB player to sign autographs at the National Sports Collectors Convention. He's signing today for $150 per autograph."
@ $150 per pop, maybe 9,300 autographs 😂 over the next three yrs.
60 autographs per each of the 52 states per year for the next three years

Seriously, makes you wonder what Tate Forcier and Tate Martell (I see a trend...) would have gotten years ago. Talk about a sponsor pissing money away. I guess we'll see.
