These guys really weren't that good this year. I'm not going to sweat any of them jumping off.
Donald, Collins, and Hopper are big. My hope is that a new coach is brought in and immediately works to retain those guys.

Hopper is getting big money, like McLeod level money, so we have no chance bringing him back.

As he should. He is too small for the NFL and many on here wanted him kicked out of school in August. Excited for him to get a large payday before leaving college.

What is the going rate this year? Thoughts on where he lands? What can App pay its own retention for players?

If he goes to the SEC, I'd tell my offensive line to talk trash and get a penalty, hell of a motor, but he's an angry little elf.

Was he the one that swung the helmet in practice or was that someone else. I know that got quieted down real quick and no one ever mentioned it again.

I figured as much as to why it was kept quiet.

I know he is leaving and will get paid handsomely compared to APP. He's not getting McLeod money per year. SH didn't even make an all conference team yet. There were only about 10-15 guys on the team getting NIL and it wasn't much. My guess is he stays closer to home and hope he has a great support staff.

*just saw they announced

Hopper made 1st team Sun Belt. Agreed on staying “close” to home.

What are you talking about? He is literally first team All Sun Belt this year. Not to mention he was second team Freshman All American last year and he has 2 yeas of eligibility left. He is getting big money in the neighborhood of McLeod.

I did see McLeod accepted an invite to the Senior Bowl. That is a big deal, good for him. Hopper can play, someone will pay him for a 2nd chance. Maybe not McLeod money but he will get something.

In the haste of trying to type faster than I should. I meant he hadn't yet go picked for this year. Hence the *edit unit I saw it on the phone. I didn't finish my thought and hit send. So my fault. Not for the previous years where you are correct. Again sorry for the confusion

Not questioning you but how do you know. I’ve asked several times about NIL money and never gotten an answer.

I thought Hopper went to App for reasons other than money?

Ah nevermind. Hopper can go, but I feel like Donald was the better of the two and it wasn't even particularly close.

They go on the 247 board, read information, come here and regurgitate to win popularity points on this board because they appear as an "insider". It's a powerplay on an otherwise meaningless hobby.

Most of them are going to take any money they can get now. Most will end up without a degree, without a pro career and without anybody that owes them any loyalty after graduation. For most it’s going to prove to be very shortsighted. The money will be blown and gone and they will be looking for a job. I know guys who got hired because they played at App. That’s going to be over.
