I'm George Reister, He's Ralph Amson, and this is the college Football Apostles, and we got to talk about this head coaching carousel that's going on. Not all the big ones that you're probably thinking about, but how did Michael Vick and DeShawn Jackson end up at Norfolk State and Delaware State? And is this going to be a trend for NFL players with no coaching experience getting coaching jobs, and maybe enough like your boy Dion Sanders.

Oh my god, they're gonna stash them.

Oh my god, they're gonna stash them.

Chill man, It's not gonna happen the way that you think it's gonna happen. We got to talk about the transfer portal because the quarterbacks have been moving all over the place. Some people that we thought committed to places really actually didn't sign the paperwork yet, so we got to find out what's going on there. We're gonna talk about some assistant coach salaries, and we got to talk about the People's Championship at least to Jake Rattler, and that and so much more here on the college Football Apostles, and we thank you for your time, We thank you for your energy, because your time's the most valuable thing that you have.

All right, Ralph, we will get started.

All right, Ralph, we will get started.

So it first was talked about about Michael Vick getting the head coaching job at Norfolk State, and then he was interviewed at Sacramento State and there was like, oh my gosh, which one is he gonna go to Sacramento State. That's fifty million dollars in NIOW money allegedly, and then there was fights about that. But he ended up going to Norfolk State, and he's at least got connections to Virginia and they're trying to make a big splash. I'm not mad at that higher But then the DeShawn Jackson to Delaware State, that will perplex me a little bit because I don't understand this is a kid from Long Beach, California. Yes, he's played in Philly, he's played and where else has he played at? He's playing a bunch of different places, but the Delaware State went. I don't understand, but this has been clearly becoming a trend. We got Deon Sanders at Jackson State, then we had Eddie George at Tennessee State.

Who he'll be.

Who he'll be.

He'll get another He'll get a big time head coaching job, probably like a FBS head coaching job in the next cycle, because you haven't really had that any fires this time. And then you got now Vic and Deshon thoughts.

He'll get another He'll get a big time head coaching job, probably like a FBS head coaching job in the next cycle, because you haven't really had that any fires this time. And then you got now Vic and Deshon thoughts.

I don't know, I don't know what. So the Delaware State thing is wild to me. Deshaun Jackson one of the best college football players I've ever seen live in my entire life. He was electric. He probably still could could get fifty yards receiving. Throw him out in any NFL game this weekend, like he could still play, right.

I don't know, I don't know what. So the Delaware State thing is wild to me. Deshaun Jackson one of the best college football players I've ever seen live in my entire life. He was electric. He probably still could could get fifty yards receiving. Throw him out in any NFL game this weekend, like he could still play, right.

Because he's still asked as hell.

Because he's still asked as hell.

Yeah, and he's taken a MEAC head coaching job, which is wild in it of itself, because I mean there's like, you know, he could have been like a Robert Morris because he played in Pennsylvania maybe, or I think wasn't he He was with Washington for a while. Yeah, and I think Howard is in this conference. But no, he goes with Delaware states. I know Delaware for three reasons. It's referenced in Wayne's World. It's where most companies are registered, and Joe Biden lived there for a while. I don't know. I think I know the last two. Yeah, that's that's it. We gotta go. You ever have you watched Wayne's World?

It was so long ago. The only thing I remember from it is Wayne's World Party time excellent.

It was so long ago. The only thing I remember from it is Wayne's World Party time excellent.

That's all I know.

That's all I know.

So the reference they make to Delaware, and so they get a green screen and the green screen can take them anywhere. It's like early green screen technology. So they have a background and it's Texas and it's like, how do y'all let's raise and rope broncos. So then they get him a backdrop it says welcome to Delaware and they just say, Hi, we're in Delaware. They don't know anything about it, and like that's that's a point for me. I don't know anything about it. Wasn't Joe Flacco at one of those schools. For a minute, Delaware went to Delaware? You are one not Delaware state?

Delaware?

Delaware?

Yes, okay, I don't think he would have met all the qualifications to become Delaware State's quarterback.

Yes, okay, I don't think he would have met all the qualifications to become Delaware State's quarterback.

So one and eleven last year. So it's like one of those things where I get try anything works right, it can't.

So one and eleven last year. So it's like one of those things where I get try anything works right, it can't.

It can't get worse.

It can't get worse.

And they got man. They yeah, it's the schools that they're with are all pretty well known HBCUs, like South Carolina State, North Carolina Central, and then he's gonna be in the same side of the conference, Norfolk State. So you're gonna have Michael Vick coaching against the Shan Jackson And you.

Want to talk about this for a second, I just want to know where DeShawn Jackson met somebody that where they were like, oh yeah, Like what circles was he running in to where that job came open and he was like yeah I want that or somebody, or like when did he mention to somebody I would like to coach, because you don't just stumble upon that type of job. Yes, And that's that's question, is where and when was he conversating with somebody.

Yes, And that's that's question, is where and when was he conversating with somebody.

Now, now here's the thing.

Now, now here's the thing.

If I had to bet my money which coach would be successful, I'll go with Michael Vick over DeShawn Jackson if I have to choose. Right, here's what I know about Michael Vick. Number One, Michael Vick's older, he has been settled in his life. He's got business ventures going. And the thing that I like most about Michael Vick is when he got out of jail for dog fighting, he could have when he went through his bankruptcy proceedings, he could have gotten debt canceled out, but instead he paid everybody back. That lets me know that somebody is literally contrite and really trying to change their their life because they're like, I'm not gonna take the easy route. I'm actually gonna go down the hard road here. And that required budgeting, that required you know, may have things may have been leaner than he would have liked at times, And that leads me to believe that that's a man who can handle whatever shoe string budget he's going to be dealing with at Norfolk State. That he's been down to the trenches, he's been in jail, he's had he's had tough times. So kids that are from you know, like Newport News and other areas that they're going to be pulling from, he'll be able to connect with them in a way like.

A human level.

Right Yeah, now, Dashawn Jackson. Right, he was just he's just been doing the podcast with Shady Right with Shady McCoy. They have been reckless at times on their podcast.

Right Yeah, now, Dashawn Jackson. Right, he was just he's just been doing the podcast with Shady Right with Shady McCoy. They have been reckless at times on their podcast.

Yes, they like the whole.

Yes, they like the whole.

The Kimba Mutumbo story, the whole, like all sorts of stuff. This leads me to believe that Dashawn Jackson, even though he's a cool dude, know him loosely, I'm not hiring him as my head coach.

I gotta be honest.

It's it's like he's not gonna be able to instill the type of discipline and.

You know, and just stuffed into.

The kids, like he'll be able to talk to them about it, but he'll live that on a day in and day out basis you hear me?

The kids, like he'll be able to talk to them about it, but he'll live that on a day in and day out basis you hear me?

Right?

Right?

Not that we know of, you know, definitely not that we know of. And man, I've gone through every single administrator that works for Delaware State, from doctor Alisha Shields Gadson to Tianna Sephers, the like admin assistant for football. I mean, I can't find a single connection. I want to know, I really want to know. I'm like, who Deshaun Jackson's agent, How this comes across his desk?

And some other people said no, and then they were like, hey, DeShawn.

What do you what do you think? He was like, effort, yolo, let's go. Now.

Here's the thing that DeShawn will be able to do, just like Michael Vick.

Here's the thing that DeShawn will be able to do, just like Michael Vick.

They will be able to staff up.

And teach people how to play football the right way that both of them will be able to do.

I have no doubt about that part about the football process. It's just a matter of I don't know.

Michael Vick just feels like a better leader to me in this situation, even though I do hope they both succeed well.

Michael Vick just feels like a better leader to me in this situation, even though I do hope they both succeed well.

Is it more indicative of just the current media landscape right because like your guy Doug Gottlieb, he's got a show and coaching basketball. Mike Vick's probably gonna leave the desk to go full time. But I don't know if DeShawn Jackson's gonna stop podcasting with Shady or no, or.

Because Dion can do it. Because Dion can do it. But but if you notice he toned things back for a while all the extra curricular stuff, and then went back forward once he got stable.

I well, are you gonna be watching? Because I think that that's at the very minimum. I don't know if people are trying to capture the lightning in the bottle of the don thing, because there's only one d on. Mike Vick is in that upper echelon of all time athletes like not maybe not you know, super Bowl wins, on field performance, but he's in the Bo Jackson stratosphere of like what.

If Michael Vick's energy now feels like unk? And that's what a head coach should be. It should feel like unk. For the most part is that the players are gonna look at Vic and you're gonna have some people, some younger.

If Michael Vick's energy now feels like unk? And that's what a head coach should be. It should feel like unk. For the most part is that the players are gonna look at Vic and you're gonna have some people, some younger.

Guys who are gonna be like, They're gonna be like, yo.

Guys who are gonna be like, They're gonna be like, yo.

I heard coach was good, and they're gonna look look at the video and be liked, coach was for real. They're gonna play for real and so you so you know what this means. So Vic has his own shoe, Yeah, Vic makes it to the FBS, it will be like Dion, His shoes will be retro. I'm telling you that right now. Because he's popular enough and can bring enough pop culture attention to it that even though that people are gonna hate him steal because there's still a great portion of people that hate Michael Vick, but he's done so much on and off the field that I think that you're gonna have FBS programs if he's able to have success there that are gonna say, listen, listen, man, like, how long do we go keep punishing this dude for this? Look at all the great things that he's doing.

Look at all the great things that he's doing.

Yeah, and I people have the right to not forgive in their own personal life. They absolutely have that right. But I think we should all recognize that the point of the justice system, the point not what it actually accomplishes, but the point is rehabilitation right to help people get their lives together. We celebrate that in this country on some level. But I look at Mike Vick and I say, like, oh, here's a guy who was always the leader, whether it was of his idiot friends, his football team, or whatever else that he has going on. I see him naturally stepping into a into a coaching role. You know, DeShawn Jackson was the wide kind of the wild card, and maybe he I always thought he actually like did a pretty good job of just putting his head down and playing football as far as like evil wide receivers go. But he he always had a little bit of an edge to him and the way he talked and the way he aired things out. And so that'll just be interesting because you need that edge when you're dealing with the media. But what media is he going to be dealing with at Delaware State? So it's really just gonna come down to can he improve a one and eleven football team?

Yeah, and I people have the right to not forgive in their own personal life. They absolutely have that right.

So it's really just gonna come down to can he improve a one and eleven football team?

Yep one.

Yep one.

Speaking of improving teams though the transfer portal, everybody's trying to improve their team right now through the transfer portal.

Speaking of improving teams though the transfer portal, everybody's trying to improve their team right now through the transfer portal.

The question is who really has done it?

The question is who really has done it?

And you've actually had some big name quarterbacks hop into portal and the guy Numero Uno, who I would have sold my stock for, I'd sell my bitcoin to get this kid is a Jeometerier quarterback from Washington State. And now for back to back years, their quarterbacks from Washington State have been the top one two guys in the portal this year number one, last last year one two, depending on Dylan Gabriel where you put him or whatever you know. So but this year though Jeometerier number one, Washington State to Oklahoma. You got Luke Crowing Crohnhook from Florida State, He's going to Mississippi State. Fernando Mendoza from cal to Indiana. I actually thought he might have headed down to Miami to head back back home. Thought that could have been an interesting So Miami hasn't found their quarterback yet. Malik Murphy is supposedly committed to Oregon State, but I don't know if he signed his papers yet. Connor Weekman from Texas A and M to Houston, Miller Moss USC to Louisville, Darien Mensa from Tulane to Duke replacing Malik Murphy.

Too. Yeah, that was a fast one. Malik Murphy said he's going in the portal and they had Darien Mensa signed like forty eight hours later.

Too. Yeah, that was a fast one. Malik Murphy said he's going in the portal and they had Darien Mensa signed like forty eight hours later.

Yeah. Yeah, they were like Jackson Arnold.

Yeah. Yeah, they were like Jackson Arnold.

Old Oklahoma to Auburn, Walker White still looking for a spot. Air Nolan is still looking for a spot.

Nolan Nolan. Air Nolan picked a spot and it's going to blow your mind. Where South Carolina?

Nolan Nolan. Air Nolan picked a spot and it's going to blow your mind. Where South Carolina?

Oh, yes, he did go to South Carolina. Yeah, I'm sitting here looking at it right right now.

Oh, yes, he did go to South Carolina. Yeah, I'm sitting here looking at it right right now.

Yes, Like Lenora Seller's a freshman, So why did he stay at Ohio State? I don't know. I don't know. And I also don't know if Aaron Nolan is sticking around for the playoff, because Devin Brown is sticking around for the playoff. That's why he hasn't entertained any end an.

Yes, Like Lenora Seller's a freshman, So why did he stay at Ohio State? I don't know. I don't know. And I also don't know if Aaron Nolan is sticking around for the playoff, because Devin Brown is sticking around for the playoff. That's why he hasn't entertained any end an.

Out publicly. Yeah.

Out publicly. Yeah.

So, oh that was gonna be interesting. Yeah, because Sellers is a freshman, so he's got two more years left. Wait, is he a red shirt freshman or he's a true freshman.

So, oh that was gonna be interesting. Yeah, because Sellers is a freshman, so he's got two more years left. Wait, is he a red shirt freshman or he's a true freshman.

I think he's a red shirt freshman.

I think he's a red shirt freshman.

Yeah, so he might have one more year left.

Yeah, so he might have one more year left.

That's just that's an interesting one to me because Aaron Nolan was hyped up as like a potential first round pick.

That's just that's an interesting one to me because Aaron Nolan was hyped up as like a potential first round pick.

Yeah, but saying is in front of him on the depth chart right now, and he was like, I'm not playing around with this in the offseason.

Yeah, but saying is in front of him on the depth chart right now, and he was like, I'm not playing around with this in the offseason.

Yeah, who knows.

Yeah, who knows.

And maybe Ohio State is going to be back in the portal for a quarterback and he's like, bro, if they're just gonna portal every year, them out here, and that's.

And maybe Ohio State is going to be back in the portal for a quarterback and he's like, bro, if they're just gonna portal every year, them out here, and that's.

How every quarterback should be thinking. Yep, every quarterback. If you're a four star and you and Marshall offers you and you see a path the plane right away.

How every quarterback should be thinking. Yep, every quarterback. If you're a four star and you and Marshall offers you and you see a path the plane right away.

Go yes, take that, Yep, you will be better off.

Go yes, take that, Yep, you will be better off.

Cadence Salter big Well, Okay, so well, let let's talk about that for a second, because I do believe it's important for people to understand this.

Cadence Salter big Well, Okay, so well, let let's talk about that for a second, because I do believe it's important for people to understand this.

At the quarterback position.

At the quarterback position.

If you are a freshman, you go to a school, let's say you play really well in practice, right, and they're excited about it. Like let's say Jackson Arnold at Oklahoma, Dylan Gabriel walks. They're happy, They're like, cool, we got we got Jackson Arnold.

If you are a freshman, you go to a school, let's say you play really well in practice, right, and they're excited about it. Like let's say Jackson Arnold at Oklahoma, Dylan Gabriel walks. They're happy, They're like, cool, we got we got Jackson Arnold.

We're fine. Right.

We're fine. Right.

In hindsight, they should have kept Dylan Gabriel one. And if Dylan Gabriel wanted to leave, then the answer was to find another transfer portal quarterback. So here's the dilimmer that the highest of highest level teams have. This is not the same dilemma that Tulane has, or Memphis or you know, or Washington State even or Oregon State. This is not their dilemma. This is the dilemma of the people who are of the five five to seven million in up jobs, which is when now every year and if you are and I was looking at this, and I'll use Oregon for an example. Right, So this upcoming year, Dylan Gabriel is going to be gone, Dante more likely will be the quarterback. Okay, they do have another capable kid on the on the roster in Novasad who I believe if he were to start it for next year, Iba, okay with it, but he ain't play no football, so right, and Dante Moore has a little bit, So I believe what's going to happen is Nova said it's gonna hop into portal. Okay, then you got Dante more for this year. If he plays really well. The kid, his talent is insane. If he plays well, there's a chance that he could be a top ten pick next year, which means he may go out in the draft.

In hindsight, they should have kept Dylan Gabriel one. And if Dylan Gabriel wanted to leave, then the answer was to find another transfer portal quarterback.

If he plays well, there's a chance that he could be a top ten pick next year, which means he may go out in the draft.

So let's say he goes.

So let's say he goes.

Out in the draft, Oregon would then be left with the jayskid that just signed from Hawaii. Yeah, the Jay skid that just signed from Hawaii to five star kid Achilles Smith Junior. And that's it because there's another player on the roster that's never going to play there. So you're essentially left with those two guys plus whoever you recruit in the next high school class. So that that's going to leave you three quarterbacks, two red shirt freshmens, have true freshmen, and are you going to bet bet the house if you're Dan landing on somebody who hasn't played.

Out in the draft, Oregon would then be left with the jayskid that just signed from Hawaii. Yeah, the Jay skid that just signed from Hawaii to five star kid Achilles Smith Junior. And that's it because there's another player on the roster that's never going to play there. So you're essentially left with those two guys plus whoever you recruit in the next high school class. So that that's going to leave you three quarterbacks, two red shirt freshmens, have true freshmen, and are you going to bet bet the house if you're Dan landing on somebody who hasn't played.

Or let's say another Dylan Gabriel comes into portal.

Or let's say another Dylan Gabriel comes into portal.

Do you chance your chance with a true freshman, no matter how good you think he is, or do you go with a proven commodity that hopped into portal And it's like calling you too, like, yo, I want to come here.

Do you chance your chance with a true freshman, no matter how good you think he is, or do you go with a proven commodity that hopped into portal And it's like calling you too, like, yo, I want to come here.

Yeah, that's a great point. That's a great point.

Yeah, that's a great point. That's a great point.

And Oregon is facing this situation.

And Oregon is facing this situation.

I'm using them as an example because I know the roster really really well and understand you know, but but this is not the only program that's doing this. So for the last couple of years, they have recruited high level wide receivers okay, like in terms of ranked high coming out of high school, and they're getting in IL money all.

Of this stuff.

So Trey Shawn Holden and Taz Johnson are gonna be gone for sure. Evan Stewart may or may not. Let's say Evan Stewart come comes back.

You need at least.

That you think very highly of.

That you think very highly of.

So some of these big name wide receivers who've hopped into portal, do you go get them? Or do you say, we got all these dudes on the on the payroll and we gotta let them play some damn football and see what they got.

I would try to develop the kids that you have in house. Unless it's a unless it's a guarantee production elsewhere, doesn't mean that you're gonna get it as well.

Correct, correct, So I don't know, but what is that?

Correct, correct, So I don't know, but what is that?

Yeah, but there are certain guys who are just stamped and you know what they are like it. It's like Buddy who came from like the bullet in the cough winner. He hops into portal and it's like, Yo, Dan, I want to go to Oregon, coach Coach Lanning, I want to go to go to Oregon.

M hm. Let's say Nash.

M hm. Let's say Nash.

From from from Fresno, I mean from San San Jose State. I'm not sure if he has any eligibility left, but let's say who led the country in UH yards, receptions and touchdowns. He hops in the portal and he calls it. It's like Dan Lanning, I want to come up there.

Then you gotta. Then you then that's a thing where you probably got to bring him in. He's going to the NFL. But in that situation, yes, yeah, But what I'm saying though, no, I I get it. And you also got to be looking at your bench full of wide receivers and say like, well, they they could leave at any time anyway, because that's what any anybody else anywhere else is doing. It's tough decisions. But my question for you is this, what are the three quarterback transfers that you are most intrigued by so far? You give me yours, I'll give you mine.

Okay, I'm gonna go with number one, my faith John Mattier to Oklahoma because that's they got a bunch of dudes in the portal. I'm not sure I understand what's going on there. It feels a little confusing, but whatever, right, let's go with.

Okay, I'm gonna go with number one, my faith John Mattier to Oklahoma because that's they got a bunch of dudes in the portal. I'm not sure I understand what's going on there. It feels a little confusing, but whatever, right, let's go with.

Next.

Next.

I'm gonna go with Caden Salter to Colorado. That is up there for me, because you're gonna hand the keys allegedly to Julian Lewis, but they didn't bring Caden Salter in without Juju knowing and his family understanding, it.

I'm gonna go with Caden Salter to Colorado. That is up there for me, because you're gonna hand the keys allegedly to Julian Lewis, but they didn't bring Caden Salter in without Juju knowing and his family understanding, it.

Would have to be a competition. I don't understand why Caden Salter would go to Colorado. He's already gone to a New Year six Bowl game with Liberty. He was one of the better power You're saying stay at Liberty. No, I'm not saying State Liberty. I'm saying, would you really? Would he really have picked a school where the freshman is guaranteed to start?

Would he really have picked a school where the freshman is guaranteed to start?

Yeah, So that's what I'm saying is that that comes a little bit of a tricky situation situation. And lastly, because you asked for three justin Martin to Maryland from you as from U. C.

Yeah, So that's what I'm saying is that that comes a little bit of a tricky situation situation. And lastly, because you asked for three justin Martin to Maryland from you as from U. C.

L A.

L A.

That's just a personal one that I'm excited about. But I'm also so who are your three? Because I know too that you're.

That's just a personal one that I'm excited about. But I'm also so who are your three? Because I know too that you're.

Gonna name well, Mike's gonna name them mikey Keene of Michigan is why. Because not a lot of people know this, but but when Oregon decided that like the future, was Dylan Gabriel on that runner up list was mikey Keane.

Gonna name well, Mike's gonna name them mikey Keene of Michigan is why. Because not a lot of people know this, but but when Oregon decided that like the future, was Dylan Gabriel on that runner up list was mikey Keane.

Yeah, mikey Keane is He's gonna have Michigan much better next year. But there's a lot of people that are then gonna be pushing for Bryce Underwood to start getting that nil money.

Yeah, mikey Keane is He's gonna have Michigan much better next year. But there's a lot of people that are then gonna be pushing for Bryce Underwood to start getting that nil money.

Yeah, and so that that that's a really really interesting one for me because he is very solid. You know, this is somebody who he never lost.

Yeah, and so that that that's a really really interesting one for me because he is very solid. You know, this is somebody who he never lost.

The a move, bro, that's literally like an NBA move, Like like you're gonna pay Joe L ANDB for two years to sit on the bench because he's because he's hurt, except for Bryce isn't hurt obviously.

The a move, bro, that's literally like an NBA move, Like like you're gonna pay Joe L ANDB for two years to sit on the bench because he's because he's hurt, except for Bryce isn't hurt obviously.

But I'm just saying.

But I'm just saying.

Right, right, And I don't think Bryce Underwood's gonna be scared of Mikey Kan. I don't think anybody who sees Mikey Kean who lays eyes on mike Y Kean is scared of him.

Right, right, And I don't think Bryce Underwood's gonna be scared of Mikey Kan. I don't think anybody who sees Mikey Kean who lays eyes on mike Y Kean is scared of him.

No, until they seem to him throw the ball and run. Boy, I like it.

No, until they seem to him throw the ball and run. Boy, I like it.

He shut out as u at Asu last year. He never has lost a game in the state of Arizona in his life because he never lost in high school. So that's a fascinating one for me because Michigan obviously national champion just one year ago, and for them to be betting on on this kid, this shorter quarterback, fascinating to me that that that was a really really big one.

Dylan Dylan Gabriel has been making making short kings cool.

Dylan Dylan Gabriel has been making making short kings cool.

Yeah, yeah, I am Kyler. Well, I don't know about Kyler, but uh, I would say that. Another one of mine that is super super interesting is Luke Cromin hook to play for Jeff Levy because Florida State fans are so mad about this transfer. They're pissed, and I don't understand why they're so upset. Do you know what they they They're drowning in nil money potential quarterback commits. I don't think they're gonna miss this kid at all. It's not like he did much this year anyway.

Yeah, I would totally agree, and they get so. I thought you were gonna name the kid that came into Florida State Thomas Cassianos.

Yeah, I would totally agree, and they get so. I thought you were gonna name the kid that came into Florida State Thomas Cassianos.

Well, yeah, because because there's a lot of Florida State people who don't know what to think. A lot of Florida State people are Bobby Bowden people, and the idea of somebody quitting on their football team to come be your starter is really hard for them to digest. I love Thomas Casianas. It'd be very funny for me to do like an all former UCF quarterback list of three because Castianos and mikey Kean were teammates in Orlando. But yeah, no, I think that. I think the Casianos thing is fascinating, but the croman Hook one just because Florida State fans were so upset, and I do think Jeff Levy's gonna get that offense going. I don't know Ifsissippi State's ever gonna be good, but we'll find out if Luke croman Hook is actually a good quarterback under Jeff Levy. I believe that one miss million percent. And then you and then you, you brought up you, you brought up the whole Duke situation. So I'm not gonna double down on that. But I do want to declare a winner because before this season started, on this podcast, we said we're gonna know the ultimate winner between Dion Sanders and his former offensive coordinator who he removed duties from and then took a head coaching job.

Because he lost his recruit, Danny O'Neill.

Because he lost his recruit, Danny O'Neill.

Yes, yeah, so that that was the one that I wanted to bring up, was Danny O'Neill. Danny O'Neill decommitted from Colorado to follow his head coach to San Diego State. One year later he's going to Wisconsin.

Yes, yeah, so that that was the one that I wanted to bring up, was Danny O'Neill. Danny O'Neill decommitted from Colorado to follow his head coach to San Diego State. One year later he's going to Wisconsin.

Yep.

Yep.

That to me is that that's the fine, because San Diego State wasn't good this year. Obviously, Colorado was nine and three or whatever, and so I think that maybe we're going multi rounds on this. Maybe we'll see what Sanda Yego State's doing in two three years. But round one Colorado like with a knockdown ten eight, ten to seven. Baby, dude.

There's a lot of guys as I get down further into this transfer portal list, the one I'm most intrigued by because this kid has been at like eighteen different schools already, and I'm not joking, is TJ Finley?

There's a lot of guys as I get down further into this transfer portal list, the one I'm most intrigued by because this kid has been at like eighteen different schools already, and I'm not joking, is TJ Finley?

Yeah, how does he have eligibility left?

He that's NBA. You're talking about like a three and D wing sign of one year deals like Trevor or Reza or something.

He that's NBA. You're talking about like a three and D wing sign of one year deals like Trevor or Reza or something.

So he's been at oh my god, let's see all twenty six. So he started at LSU, he enrolled at LSU, then he went to Auburn. He played at Auburn, then he went to Texas State, hopped in the portal, went to Western Kentucky, hopped in the Portal. Now he's at Tulane and so that one is interesting. I want to see where j Warner goes Kurt Water soon because he's.

Like I'm actually surprised that he hasn't found a home yet.

Like I'm actually surprised that he hasn't found a home yet.

Cool on this list that is homeless, would you take as like a backup next year to Dante More that you know isn't going to play over him, but is older and has experience because for me, I.

Think Sam was that Utah last year. Yeah, yeah, school, she's a wheeze, all right. I would probably say, let's say, hm hmm. You know who I think is an intriguing pick up that I don't think anybody that if you're picking him to be a quarterback, I think it's a foolish move. But the kid is a crazy talent. Is alex Orgy?

Of course you will. You know, he's like six seven, you like those giants?

No, no, no, no, I don't.

No, no, no, no, I don't.

I don't like him over six six if I'm being honest, because he's the biggest. He's listed at six to six. Okay, so let's hope he's six to six. If you're any taller than six six, you can't play quarterback for me. If you're six foot seven on the if you hit six foot seven, you gotta hop into portal.

But speaking of the portal though, uh, there's a player named Xavier Lucas who is in the well who's attempting to get in the transfer a portal now because uh, he signed his letter of intent and now he wants out and there are people that are blocking his transfer. And you can read his tweet, Ralph.

But speaking of the portal though, uh, there's a player named Xavier Lucas who is in the well who's attempting to get in the transfer a portal now because uh, he signed his letter of intent and now he wants out and there are people that are blocking his transfer. And you can read his tweet, Ralph.

Yeah, so Xavier Lucas he played at Wisconsin last year's from South Florida. He was like one of their highest rated defensive players last year. It didn't seem like he was gonna go into the portal like so many Wisconsin players have, But on December nineteenth, he announced that he was going into the portal. Here we are eight days later and he is not actually in the portal, And this is his tweet from earlier today, December twenty seventh. I still intend to transfer, but at the moment, Wisconsin is refusing to release me into the transfer portal. I've met all NCAA requirements of the transfer portal process. I've yet to be put into the transfer portal by Wisconsin, which is impeding my ability to speak with schools. He didn't say stopping completely. He said he is impeding his ability to legally speak with schools because Wisconsin is granted every other portal request except for this bro.

That's nasty.

That's nasty.

That is nasty, and speaking of bad karma, I know why Lincoln Riley's not having success. I just thought about that when you just brought that up. Do you remember when the kid wanted to transfer to TCU from Oklahoma and he blocked him?

That is nasty, and speaking of bad karma, I know why Lincoln Riley's not having success. I just thought about that when you just brought that up. Do you remember when the kid wanted to transfer to TCU from Oklahoma and he blocked him?

Yeah, I remember when that was common practice, blocking specific destinations.

That's right, and that's right, and man.

That's right, and that's right, and man.

And that coach ends up getting fired. Program falls in shambles for a minute. Hey listen, no good, no bad deed goes unpunished, and and uh so so yeah, so I think that that might be a little bit of Lincoln Riley Carmel. How long will it will it last? Who knows?

And that coach ends up getting fired. Program falls in shambles for a minute. Hey listen, no good, no bad deed goes unpunished, and and uh so so yeah, so I think that that might be a little bit of Lincoln Riley Carmel. How long will it will it last? Who knows?

And this time you.

And this time you.

Think Luke Fickle's in the wrong for this, then.

Think Luke Fickle's in the wrong for this, then.

Yes, now I do believe that I would probably talk to the kid on some level and be like, all right, look, look, man, we know that this is not about you.

Yes, now I do believe that I would probably talk to the kid on some level and be like, all right, look, look, man, we know that this is not about you.

If we're being honest that.

If we're being honest that.

Well, we have revealed why we haven't revealed the rumor on why they won't let him go.

Well, we have revealed why we haven't revealed the rumor on why they won't let him go.

Okay, go ahead and tell what the rumor is.

Okay, go ahead and tell what the rumor is.

Because because everyone thinks that the moment that he's allowed in the portal, he'll commit to Miami, which means he must know something, which means he must have had a conversation. So it's tamp it's tampering. It's the third year old Miami has been accused of tampering West Virginia twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, Oklahoma State big time.

Because because everyone thinks that the moment that he's allowed in the portal, he'll commit to Miami, which means he must know something, which means he must have had a conversation. So it's tamp it's tampering. It's the third year old Miami has been accused of tampering West Virginia twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, Oklahoma State big time.

And of course they've been tampering.

And of course they've been tampering.

This is literally what they do, and it's not just just them, So don't think I'm just attacking Miami.

This is literally what they do, and it's not just just them, So don't think I'm just attacking Miami.

It's the reality.

My Miami comes and says, all right, bro, look we got a boat load of money for you.

My Miami comes and says, all right, bro, look we got a boat load of money for you.

Are you Are you coming or are you not? Oh? No?

Okay, well then well then up that by multiply that times three. Now what do you think I'm still not coming? Listen, bro, you gonna come five times?

Well, I'm too immature right now. I just got immature on myself. I was like, oh, don't.

Well, I'm too immature right now. I just got immature on myself. I was like, oh, don't.

Do that, George, you and full Alex Jones, that's gonna get clipped for sure.

Do that, George, you and full Alex Jones, that's gonna get clipped for sure.

Uh, I'm letting the kid go if you don't me here.

Uh, I'm letting the kid go if you don't me here.

We're not fighting to keep you.

We're not fighting to keep you.

I don't understand why why anybody would be sitting there trying to keep somebody who don't want to be there. So maybe they're trying to expose with that. Wisconsin and Luke Fickel are trying to expose Miami. So maybe I tell the kid like, hey, yo, bro, my Miami tampered a bit bit too much here. You're gonna have to find somewhere else and we will let you go, but we are going to expose Miami on this. So I'm sorry that you got to beat a guy. But that's what it what it is like. If that's how strongly I felt about it, That's what I would do if I was the head coach.

If that's how strongly I felt about it, That's what I would do if I was the head coach.

Yeah, and I mean people tamper It is what it is. Miami got tampered with, definitely, probably by the whole Isaiah Bond to Alabama thing. Yes, Like how did how did on three have a have a prediction to Alabama thirty minutes after and like all three also has uh they have Xavier Lucas predicted to Miami even though he's not in the portal, like we know, we know. I've you've seen players get tampered with directly. I've tried. I've had parents try to use me as an avenue for tampering. Yeah, hey, can you put the word out that we're thinking about getting in the portal and pass my number along to anybody who might want me to get into the portal. I've had parents reach out to me and ask for that.

Coaches have been and others have been hopping on Twitter x whatever you want to call it, making this JUCO issue because the NC double A just passed the i'll call it the Diego Pavier rule where now you don't have well, the A is fighting it, but they're allowing it just for this season, and they're fighting the injunction that got put in place in court, the Diego Pavia rule where if you went to JUCO, those years do not count against your FBS eligibility. And you've had coaches, oh, you're gonna have thirty year olds playing and this and that, and players are gonna coaches are gonna stash players in JUCO. This is the biggest kraker, you know what that I've heard, Ralph. At no point in time is it going to be a mass issue about schools trying to stick players in JUCO. Might they try to put players in JUCO that are academically ineligible to get into their university and say, all right, cool, you can take these classes and we'll get it, get it fixed, right.

Man, hell to the no, And what is the purpose of And if you're a parent, you're gonna be like, hold up, you don't have eighty five scholarships. You have one hundred and five scholarships. Now, either put my kid on scholarship and he goes there, or there ain't nothing to talk about because I'm not sending him to And then The other part that you have to think about, Ralph is that some of these kids are from economically disadvantaged situations and their parents are like, get him away from here, get him away from this environment and everything else.

And they're like, well, it'll be like a Mormon mission. Do you know what Mormon missions are like for these kids? These kids come back safely from Mormon missions.
