Dylan Manuel is has reposted 2 things on X about coming back to App
He visited and got offered by Colorado. Saw he’s announcing commitment at 7:30, didn’t say where to, but not sure he’s returning, however it’d be amazing if he did.
Hope he does. I thought he looked good in the bowl game.

He conveniently announced he was committing at 7:30 and then conveniently announced an offer to a competing school (WVU) at 5:30. Driving up the price as much as he could I guess.

It earned him $500k. Sobering reality that fans making a fraction of the players are asked to fund it.

I realize it’s early in the process, but I’m beyond ready to see some TP players commit to App State :D

This should be DLO's sales pitch. Come to App work hard make plays get paid $500,000 next year. We should get the agents number. Let him be part of the sales pitch.

There was a brief interview with Jay Williams (the former Duke Guard) last week. He said professional league agents (NBA) typically make a 4% commission. But, college agent were out of control, making 20%.
So, if you have a college client and you move him annually……

If Swann signed for $500K and this is true….$400K to Swann, $100K to the agent.

To be a back up as well. Because Swann isn’t going to beat out Kamario Taylor for the starting QB job.

If 4,000+ players have to make a decision by January 16th, the next few weeks will interesting to see how the musical chairs work out and which players are not able to secure a chair.

The $500k figure was for Manuel but I imagine Swann is not far off.

I understand some of these schools have more money than they can possibly spend, and I’m sure AJ is a wonderful young man….but to drop $500k or close to it, for him, shows how truly crazy this whole thing is. I can think of 500,000 better ways to drop half a million dollars.

GO APPS!!
