5 different high schools...Geo. decommit, A&M commit then decommit. Back to Georgia. Lot's of head butting with staff over work ethic. Sounds like a team captain on your squad.
Stud DT enters the portal
- Thread starter PSUWrestlingFanSince2011
- Start date
His own teammates - HIT THIS LINK. His own teammates say he is a selfish player that was more concerned with garnering stats for himself than playing solid "team defense" (i.e., took a lot of risks abandoning fundamental responsibilities attempting to garner headline stats).
Who needs him to be a captain?
None of that proves he has an attitude problem. Just your assumption.
Prove yourself to be right. You're the one claiming something to be a fact that's merely your opinion. You're also one that would change your tune the second he came here.
It is probably that the Georgia educational environment is not what he was promised. They want him to focus on football while he's there for an education. There is always a reason for a transfer. Some are acceptable to prospective teams. Some are acceptable to some prospective teams. Others are only acceptable to desperate teams. I am only saying that the reason for transfer needs to be vetted before offering. Maybe he's on the up and up, but look under the hood and get the history before buying.
Don't need to re-read it dipwad - his teammates response when asked specifically about Bear Alexander entering the portal says it all as to what his opinion was....
Could we hear more about your great track-record.... LMFAO, you're such a tool.
You can. Quote the part in there that says what you falsely claim. Unless the word everyone is beyond you comprehension which would be predictable
Apparently you're having trouble reading into the UGa D-Lineman's response when specifically asked about BA's entering the portal - it isn't complimentary dipwad.... and isn't hard to understand what he's trying to get across in his response when asked specifically about BA's entering the portal and leaving the team.
So you admit you're reading into it not going with what was said....shocking
The article doesn't say what you said it did
[insert eyeroll].... You're claim about how accurate you were in predicting our record last year before the start of last year is positively hysterical..... like most of the bullshit you publish troll-boy.
It was accurate...read the responses but again you and reading aren't on good terms
First they aren't "our" players. Second, you don’t have a clue how many are serious about their education. You talk so
much your gums blister and then you talk out of your ass.
Ahhhh....., your prediction that PSU's absolute ceiling was 9 wins last year and they would be lucky to even get that many with Franklin as the coach...... was "accurate"? Whatever you say troll-boy, LMFAO.
Our was correct
You're overselling education for athletes in this era because you want to pretend we're (again correct) different...aka better
See now you just made that up too even when someone gave you comments you could use out of context. Reading
Would love him if he came here...at least for as long as he stayed and performed well.
Sorry...you would...was the point
I like the kid as a player on any team. I dont only like guys on the team I root for. I'm not 8.
You’re underselling education for athletes on every team…only 1% make the NFL, many feel they have a shot, but many don’t and know they’re playing for their education. I work with a lot of guys who played D-1 football and nearly all of them knew they were never going pro, so they played to get a scholarship, get their degree, and because they enjoyed football.
You're underselling the kids being discussed and the kids needed to win at this level. 4 and 5 star kids absolutely plan on playing at the next level. Again we're discussing football in this era and top tier kids. Kids like the one being discussed here. Also quoting 1% is insincere. We're not talking about a low level program.
$$$$ Gonna need about $10 mill a year in NIL money. It will be crazy expensive to sign free agents like this.
Clear favorite for Georgia transfer Bear Alexander has already emerged
Georgia defensive lineman Bear Alexander entered the transfer portal on Saturday and already it's clear which school has the inside track to land him.fansided.com
Southern California the name being mentioned.
We were talking about college football, not a handful of programs. But what percentage of PSU players make the NFL? Not the majority, so most of the players are playing for their scholarship.
What percent of players deciding to go to Penn State believe coming out of high school they'll play in the NFL?
The majority absolutely believe that. Probably 90-95% of them. We're not the MAC OR FCS and plenty of them believe they'll play on Sundays and teams were wrong to miss on them as the point to the guys that have made it.
You're honestly trying to sell that kids going to Penn State on a football scholarship don't believe they'll play on Sundays?
USC is taking NIL seriously. Penn State is falling behind. Whether people love it or hate it this is the reality on college football.
Some may think that going in, but the majority figure it out pretty quickly that they won’t. I worked with a starter from PSU…he knew not far into his career he was too short to play in the NFL, but he stayed at PSU to get his degree. These kids get smacked with reality pretty quickly, especially the ones who aren’t stars (which is the majority of the team). And this isn’t just Penn State, this is most programs…maybe not Bama, Georgia or OSU, but pretty much all the rest. Your 90-95% estimate is way off.
And we're talking about "going into it"--that's when they're deciding if they care about the education part when picking a school.
It's not way off--ask the entire incoming class in 2024 if they believe they can play on Sundays.
You incorrectly used a 1% number because you're ignoring the reality of the discussion. Penn State had 25 players drafted the past 4 years and countless others that were signed as UDFAs. The kids coming in every year have great odds of making the NFL. And that doesn't even include kids that leave Penn State for other schools and then get drafted. It's okay to accept the reality of the situation. Education isn't the primary factor during recruiting--nor is it likely in their top 10. Same goes for the portal. Tinsley didn't come here for fun--he came here to play to hopefully get drafted for example.
PSU had 8 players drafted in 2022…out of 85…that’s not really 90-95%. And a lot of the transfers go to smaller schools to get playing time knowing they aren’t getting drafted, yet they still want to play football and get an education. And the reality of the situation is some players don’t consider education, but many do especially going into it….they may change their mind as they play and get better. Some do go into it with the sole purpose of going to the NFL, but not nearly as many as you think. If they don’t care about the education part, why do so many get their degree in three years?
It's not 8 of 85...that's pretending they all leave college the same time. It's also ignoring those that signed as UDFAs or played in other pro leagues. And I said 90-95% GO TO COLLEGE WITH THE INTENT TO PLAY PRO BALL.
You're better than this.
I understand the frustration. However, limiting a person’s ability to seek a better opportunity is downright un-American and anti capitalist. Coaches bolt from universities in a heart beat as soon as a better deal surfaces. Remember Manny Diaz leaving Temple at the altar as soon as the Miami job became available? Conferences like the BIG and SEC take advantage of their leverage in obtaining billion dollar TV deals on the backs of student-athletes.
When winning or benefiting, no one wants to change the rules. But the moment someone perceives themselves as being behind or losing, they want to change the rules. Competition is a good thing. Seeing players financially benefit after being financially screwed for decades is a welcoming change and truly the capitalist thing to do.
All of this--people just seem resistant to change with this. Is the NIL perfect? No, but there's no reasons kids should have ever been required to stay at a school or sit out in order to transfer. That was done solely to benefit the programs not the kids. Players should have always been able to cash in on their success in college. And this isn't just football. Livvy Dunne has done it better than anyone (who's not related to a HOFer).
