Perlotte’s Dad said that KJ Bolden’s decision was only about money? That is rude AF lol. Got a link?
How do you guys have such insight into the NIL collective and how much gets offered where? I literally have no idea what Alabama players have been offered or are making aside from what is made public.
Yep, I’m a first timer. Thanks for the warm welcome!
I honestly have zero insight but on how much UGA offers. I do post on another Dawg fan board that's much smaller that has people who post there that get that info. On this particular recruitment I kept hearing Auburn and FSU were resetting the NIL market for Bolden. Freeze and FSU are both wanting to make a splash this cycle.
Makes sense and I agree….Hugh was a pain in the a$$ with the “under the table” NIL at Ole Miss. Still can’t believe the Laremy Tunsil recruitment.
You’re welcome Willy, your welcome package is on the way.
Same here. Very rarely is a safety the defining characteristic of a championship team. I’m here for the UGA and AU meltdowns though lol. BOL melted down over Perry Thompson. If there is one position that Alabama can afford to lose somebody, it would be WR. On top of that, I can’t remember the last physical possession WR type that made a big impact at Alabama. Bama stud WRs have typically been the small, elite speed types.
This is from an Instagram post last week about Bolden.
Because we do what we want. Next questionWhy does your fan base think that every school except UGA is involved in NIL? Every player that chooses to go somewhere other than UGA just HAS to be due to NIL…..but if a kid chooses UGA it is due to everything but NIL. Just awesome recruiting by the UGA staff, the charm of Athens, etc etc.
I just assume Kirby will find some 3* kid in South Georgia that no one has ever heard of and he’ll be ridiculous.
I mean he’s very close with the Bolden family. Seems like you just don’t like that there’s legit evidence that it was NIL. UGA isn’t poor. They’re just not gonna give a true freshmen more money than what some of their starters are making. That’s just asking for locker room trouble.
It is “NIL” every time UGA gets beat on a recruit. How much did Bolden get? What was the FSU offer and the UGA offer? Seems to me like the kid just grew up wanting to play at FSU.
I literally named examples of big players that UGA recently lost on that weren’t due to NIL in my original comment lol. Sometimes a loss is because of NIL and sometimes it’s just getting beat. A close family friend said it was NIL and even Bud Elliot who is very plugged into FSU said it was NIL and called them the “Saudinoles”. You just want to think that UGA fans are falsely blaming it on NIL when there’s real evidence that’s what it was lol.
Most UGA fans do, amigo. Most, not all. Sounds like FSU was Bolden’s dream school all along though. I’m sure he got a NIL bag, but he would have gotten that anywhere. Surely the amounts will come out eventually….hard to keep that stuff on the DL.
Yep, you nailed it. I sure wish I knew what it felt like to go B2B. Feels good knowing where that L came from though.
Not really, unless it’s like this when there’s real evidence that it was NIL. Multiple people close to the situation have said it was NIL which means FSU was the biggest bag. If you want to ignore the evidence so you can pretend that UGA fans are being ridiculous then go ahead
There is no “evidence” though….only hearsay. Evidence would be backed by numbers. Bolden has always maintained that FSU was his dream school. If it is only about NIL, why is Kirby still talking to him? Does he think FSU will just delete the offer? If Bolden eventually flips to UGA, can we just assume that UGA dropped the biggest bag?
Surprising that Kirby is continuing to recruit a kid who is only after a bag. I’ve been led to believe that kids that chase the money aren’t “Dawgs”. Weird.
I’m just gonna copy and paste from my last comment since I literally just addressed this.
That doesn’t address anything. If the kid is all about “NIL”, I’ve been told by UGA fans that UGA will move on because those types of kids aren’t a “culture fit”. If he flips, it will be all about money, not part of the reason. UGA fans have backed themselves into a corner with that narrative.
Yea it does. I gave multiple reasons why UGA would still be talking to him if this was about NIL. Nobody has backed them into a corner. You’re either not reading the comments or you aren’t understanding them somehow.
Just remember that if Bolden eventually flips to UGA, it will be ALL about money. Can we agree on that?
If Bolden flips, money will be a big part of it yea
Honestly, don't see UGA increasing their offer to match. Already did that 3 times. If he flips it's because he bought into the original plan. Imo, if this was solely KJ's decision he signs with UGA.
I know you wish you knew what it felt like to go 15-0Yep, you nailed it. I sure wish I knew what it felt like to go B2B. Feels good knowing where that L came from though.
You sure about that? Seems like Alabama fans are still crying about the last time y’all lost somebody at wr …..
