I'm not worried about Sellers hitting the portal, but....

[18IsTheMan]

I have no doubts he's all Gamecock. Nevertheless, we know tampering in the NIL era is very real and very rampant. Can you imagine what his NIL value is right now? He's arguably the most exciting player in the country at the moment. I am certain other programs are putting out feelers, if not outright offers.

I have no doubt. My Texas group chat this morning is all people badgering me about how SC will be able to afford to keep Sellers.

We need to keep him away from Dr. Pepper.

Maybe we need to get Dr. pepper involved. That's money we don't otherwise have access to.

It was reported several weeks ago that Stewart was negotiating for a 7-figure NIL deal.

Whatever he's worth, Sellers is worth considerably more.

(that last sentence made me throw up a little bit)

Right. With the money Stewart is pushing for, I don't know how many big-time players we can afford on our own.

The QB curse of Dr. Pepper.

Jayden Sellers may be one of our most important recruits, hopefully the opportunity to play with his brother is:

Hoping he has superpowers like Lanorris.

 

[RUMMENIGGE]

Why was Lanorris not heavily recruited? I believe Syracuse and a few Sun Belt conference teams only showed interest. Even South Carolina nearly missed out on this and came up with a very late offer.(i think 60 to 90 days before signing day).

One thing for sure is that clemson coach has to be grinding his teeth that they did not offer Sellers. Likely avoided Sellers because of his three star rating.

I think before the season started, Sellers was taken to a Mercedes Benz dealership and got to pick which car he wanted, I believe he is being taken care of.

I have a friend who coached Lanorris in middle school and had ties to the high school program there. Notably he's a major Clemson fan. He texted me several years ago, long before we were a factor for Lanorris (or even before he was on anyone's radar) and told me this kid was going to be a D1 prospect/player. Fast forward and he was extremely concerned/upset when Sellers flipped his commitment to us. I asked the question you did and he said it was mainly due to the offense South Florence ran. Sellers didn't have to throw it a bunch so he didn't have the eye-popping stats that get recruiters' attention.

For proof, see FB message from 1/19/2021 haha

We better find 3 DL and 3 LB's for the ones we lose plus a safety for Nick Emmanawori declaring for the draft and possibly DQ Smith.

 

[Maccmaine12]

I watched Sellers interview with Doty and he made it clear that his goal is to play with his brother. I also think if we could afford Rattler and Juice then we should be able to afford Sellers and Stewart. Both want to be here too

UF DE just entered the portal. Was highly recruited I believe he’s from Sumter. There are already a few good lineman available and I think the way this season has gone it’s plausible to have a portal class like ole miss did last offseason.
