Still scratching my head on Singleton (likely) to Auburn.
On one hand I do understand the 500k pay raise (before agent fees, taxes, etc) but I really think betting on yourself and staying loyal is bigger.

Auburn passing 2024 : 250 rec for 3167 yards (losing 1,2,3 QBs after this season)
GT passing 2024: 244 rec for 2884 yards (Keeping 1 & 2 QBs)

At Auburn he will likely be 2-3 best target (barring any other major portal in's)
At Tech he would be target 1A/1B with Rutherford.

I think he is risking a lot of touches and targets for a quick bag. I dont think that works often ( think Dominic Lovett, CJ Daniels, Robert Lewis, etc)
I think the best thing for his NFL future is touches, not "level of competition"

You are scratching your head because you are applying a level of analysis that the person making the decision probably isn't.
 
Duke is getting the QB from Tulane, Mensah. Might be an upgrade over Murphy.
The kid who got beat out for the starting job at SMU is hitting the door.

Taking a large amount of guaranteed money in college rather than gambling that taking less money in college will increase his chances at making the NFL is very risk averse. Bird in the hand and all that.

You are right moneywise.

I was thinking more in terms of playmaking opportunity. Would he be happy if they got a DJU-level dud in the portal? They have not shown the ability to develop a QB yet.

I think he's treating it like a job and the money will outweigh everything else if the raise is significant enough.

Money isn't the only thing that matters, but if you're making 500k and someone offers you 2 million to do the same job elsewhere, you're taking it unless the other place is an absolute dumpster fire...and probably even then unless it's so bad you're worried about the checks cashing.
 
Also now in the portal:
Alabama QB Dylan Lonergan, from Brookwood.
Wasn't he a top Tech target before signing with the Tide?
 
I don’t really see what you guys are all debating about singleton. This seems super straight forward. He is being offered more money to go somewhere else. I don’t think number of touches, the QB, the education, the 30 year picture are in play here. It’s purely I make X now to ball and I’m being offered 3X to do the same thing now. I think that’s the beginning and end of the thought going into this. This is not meant as a slight or insult. I think it just is what it is.

If you can make $300k as a sophomore in college and then go convince Auburn or UGAg to give you $750k or $1 million, then by all means, go do it. With the proper strategy, you're pretty much set up to not have to worry about 30 years from now - ilunless you go do stupid ass shit like buying a Lambo or some bullshit.

As an old guy, I see that money going into some indexed funds. Max out a Roth year after year. By the time you hit 55, you're damn set.

$750K-$1M at age 20 or so is not at all setting you up for the next 30 years. It’s a great cushion and start on life, but your ass is still working. Unless he’s going skinny FIRE. Something tells me he’s not.

Edit: I see what you’re saying. Head start on it. I agree with you. Disregard my dumb .
 
Stingtalk: If a 19-year-old isn't loyal enough to Georgia Tech, which we all hated as students, to stay here for literally hundreds of thousands of dollars less than he could make at another school, then öööö college football forever

Also Stingtalk: So who is CBK shopping for in the portal today, let's address our needs and use our top-20 NIL budget to get everyone we want

The hell it isn't, if you can keep your hands damn off of it.

Just at 8% return in stocks, you'd end up with $10 million in 30 years doing nothing but letting it ride. Probably $13 million to $14 million if you throw $2k a month in there with it.

A 10% return would be in the $20 million + range. Sitting pretty.

Of course, I am fiscally conservative with my money. I guess it is why I identify with you cheap bastiges.

Of course, most would do the Ryan Leaf "spend the entire $10 million buying a house"
