Looks like Bell is gone, in case there was anyone who thought we had a chance. Not saying he's going to UM but schools this big with interest make him out of reach.
Well, it was fun while it lasted, Michigan's NIL can make our NIL look like NULL.

Dear Santa, what I really want for Christmas is a clutch wide receiver, that's all...and maybe a QB who can throw to him. Thanks Santa.

Could it be that he wants to see where he stands with other teams or could he possibly feel that he was NIL'd over with several LBs coming in?
They all need to adjust. They’ll always be recruited over. Coach would face malpractice if they didn’t. NIL isn’t with the school, of so I’m told.

Wait, what? Didn’t his dad rave about program this year?
Wow, he is one of few experienced defenders returning, damn hate to see him leave as a Cowboy fan I was a big fan of his Dad. Hopefully, he is just looking for some more NIL love from us, and returns like Yates.

Bummer, this is the first one that I don’t really understand.

Had a nice year finally getting on the field and was likely to be a starter next season as the roster stands now.
maybe coaches know something we don't and gave him their blessing to start looking - never know

Nothing in that article indicates he is gone.
Never said he was. Just saying if UM hosted him, they have interest and if they do, you can bet other higher level programs do too. Those are programs we have no business even being mentioned in the same sentence in when it comes to being to compete for him in terms of NIL. I give his chance to return .0000%. I hope I eat crow.

We so desperately need to get into the B12. Won't keep everyone, but the fringe guys probably stick around if they're starters on a power conference team. Replacing the entire starting units every season will not lead to consistent success.

I’m rapidly changing my thinking. It’s all about money. B12 and ACC are only a little better off than us in this environment. We need money from NIL donors more than we need a P4. Sec and B10 are taking over all sports at a rapid pace.

I am truly confused and really trying to follow. In your original post with the article you wrote “looks like he is gone”. When the next poster said the article did not say that you replied “never said he was”. What other meaning could your first post words have?

I generally think the same regarding the ACC. But this could be changing as there are reports that Duke is paying Tulane quarterback Darian Mensah $8M total over two seasons to play for them.

I meant I wasn't saying he was officially gone. More generally speaking that there's no way we're getting him back with that level of interest.

At one time many of the athletes used a scholarship as a way to fund college, except for athletes at the Melo-like level. Now it 5-6 years of NIL money and virtual classes that you cannot fail.

I think we will be fine without Skyler. Loved his play, but as season went on he seemed, well, different. Coincide with reach outs from other programs? We will never know, but I like our depth at wr, assuming we can have a qb rise to the occasion
