This is meaningless. Unless we somehow found 4 million dollars of NIL money.

He's considered an NFL prospect even with his down year last year. If he left SC there would be plenty of cash thrown at him for beyond what we could afford.

Honestly, I'd rather us run with and develop that 3 star dual threat qb we recruited than even try to bring this guy on for a single season if he crazily decided to take our 500k over the 4mil+ he would get elsewhere.

We're going to use every penny of NIL money we have on him, and him only, to see if he can carry us to the promised land. :lol: :lol: :lol:

He came to see his coach and DLo shamelessly is using it to his advantage...Is Sellers gonna be a Mountaineer? No...But his presence on the mountain will turn heads.

I like DLo. Dude can sell a program

EXACTLY! People keep griping about Dlo talking his NFL experience and coaches on the team with NFL experience.... while us older fans may not care these young cats trying to make a name for themselves see a program that they have a LEGITIMATE shot at making the team and that team has ties to the NFL. Now lets just say some young dual threat QB is in the state of SC, oh say Greenwood...... see this post and say, "Man, I can't get to USC right now but I bet I can make this App State team and Coach Dlo has ties to USC....Imma go there!" Its all about the big picture. We might only have a player for one year but that one year could be the best year ever. I think a lot of people just wanna gripe about stuff to make themselves feel better. They don't realize we have a legitimate person who can sell our school/program to these young players and players who want to make a name for themselves.

Only the ones from further south that didn't ever visit other than the summer. Usually from Florida.

I loved the cold days, just had to wear shorts because the buildings were so hot. These days I probably couldn't do that though.

There’s that 4D chess being played again. How do you square that with the 35 guys who have declared for the transfer portal if everyone wants the chance to be coached by this vaunted staff?And what does legitimate person even mean? All this wheeling and dealing means zero if he can’t successfully coach the players he has.

I figured it out, he's going to enroll at App for the spring semester, play in the bowl game, and then enter the TP.

In today's world that would be likely be allowed...

So no one in this thread was griping...so you decided to gripe about griping to do what?.....make yourself feel better?

He is indeed a legitimate person. Seems to have all the proper vital signs. No one has caught him shedding his skin or anything.

As far as selling the program goes thats far far ahead to be foreseen. These young players aren't going to care that a QB went up the mountain to go snowboarding. They just want to know what App State will pay them and if its not what they want then they won't come. 10+ years ago this action would have carried a small amount of recruiting weight...maybe...but now? Not so much.

The idea of people griping is a general take on the overall board. I didn't say they were griping on this post. Also, young highschool players will care. In our church we have a kicker who will play in college and yes he thinks about money but he's also looking at where the players he likes play. Where they go. What they do. All the young players do. To think they don't is short-sighted.

What I see is DLo marketing App State and using every tool in his toolbox. He did pull in a 4-star and in the past that was unheard of for App. I give him Kudos for making it sound like App is the place to be. We just signed probably the highest rated freshman class. Clearly he can sell and that is a key part of the formula for success. Keep doing what you are doing DLo.

He can sell a program and that is first step. Now he just needs to clean up his clock management, make some good staff changes, and win games. If he can do that he will make himself quite a hot commodity with P4 programs showing he can recruit and lead a program to a lot of wins. I am hoping that he can.

Sellers isn’t coming to App. He heard how good the food is at Betty’s Biscuits and decided to get in some skiing while here.
