This could be true. It might be time to.start seeing some of these moves no longer as downgrades in schools but salary increases for the player.

Interesting. Do you think the compensation would be that different? It seems like a small reason to change schools, having to reestablish oneself all over again at a school that appears to be a lateral wrt UConn at best. Sounds like he was told something by UConn.

I honestly don’t know..as I said…it’s a theory. Players that aren’t obvious pro prospects are going to get the money that they can in college. Understandably.
 
I just read something in the NYT that mentioned top QB's are going for $4 million. Insane. An article on Belichek. Apparently UNC spent $20 million on him and his staff, and he was not hired by the AD but by the Board of Trustees.

We will see this in person this year. Duke paid their qb $4mm per year. When did Duke decide it wanted to spend SEC like NIL dollars on football?

Probably around the time they realized that they'll need to be attractive enough in football to get a P2 offer when the GOR expires if they want to remain a very high profile basketball program.

Maybe one day we’ll realize that. To be fair, it’s one thing to realize it and another to have donors willing to cough up enough dough to get us there.

Theories on why Gaithings would be bailing on us for Western friggin Michigan?

My theory is that a good number of these are the result of a guy going to the Coach saying I want more PT/targets/whatever and Coach saying I don’t see that happening. Sometimes it’s Coach going to player and saying “you might have better opportunities elsewhere.” I think that is behind many if not most of these moves. A few are about $ but mostly at the highest levels. MAC teams aren’t paying huge premiums for #2-3 receivers from UConn. FCS schools aren’t doing it for #4 quarterbacks.

Our QB room must be really solid or the incoming frosh QB is impressive to lose two QBs this close to the end of Spring ball. Or there is an incoming portal announcement that caused the staff to let these two know that finding a new home might be in their best interests?

Looks like this was just a trimming of the QB room with this move. Didn't recall who he was and clearly him being a PWO shows why. I still think there's going to be an incoming QB from the portal.

Caleb Smith was a walk-on. And honestly, wouldn't surprise me if we don't take a portal QB. Even with Welliver gone, we have four scholarship QBs.

I'm not saying they won't take a QB from the portal, but I think 4 scholarship QBs (with 1 or 2 walkon QBs) is enough in the portal era. Why? You don't have to develop QBs on your roster for the next season as you can go into the portal and find an experienced QB.

Trio of suitors emerge for Georgia transfer QB

Three Conference USA schools are looking to land former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Jaden Rashada

Terribly written article so I don't know if they added us in error or they got the conference affiliations wrong...

So take with a grain of salt (and a lime and tequila)

But he is a QB
