247 Sports: One-on-one with TCU QB commit Ty Hawkins at the Elite 11 Finals

[Bigpurple872]

You guys must walk around constantly worried about losing your wag's. Toughen up. Dude likes TCU despite many suitors. He may decide to work somewhere else which happens to everyone. This "no way" just wreaks of weak bs.

You were saying

Because we don't give hardly any nil money

Curious to see if he stays at SMU or moves on to a bigger school.......

Willing to bet a schilling or two that he never plays a down for my little pony.

I’ve kept quiet on this issue since nice he was a commit, but since he’s not now I will say this. Here in San Antonio, we have a long history of not having big time QB recruits. I say this because I have seen him a few times and thought that there isn’t much there and I can remember lots of QBs who I thought were better over all players than him. I was left underwhelmed ever time I saw him. I would have supported him if he showed up as with any other player but, honestly i wasn’t expecting much from him.

I don't mean to be the Negative Nancy as of late, but the "old money" is not in-line with athletics leadership and leadership/Flying T is relying on 30s/40s/50s year olds. CDC, like him or hate him, had a way to finesse everyone, regardless of age, to do the masterpieces he did while here. Current leadership alienated a large portion of our big money, which is evident by the stalemate in facility and NIL development, and the scandals mentioned in the other thread.

Didn't age well. Have you checked your W/G?

No way he stays committed if he’s heading to IMG to finish out his high school playing.

Time to go scorched earth on SMU.

 

[GiantFrog]

Real?

 

[GiantFrog]

He went to IMG to get paid NIL from SMU this year. I guess the money was big. He will likely move on from SMU on early signing day.

Just catching up. Ugh.
Probably got a place at the W

We can't even offer more the smu lmao

Last I heard Flying T had around $3-4 million in nil warchest. But agree it seems mostly 40-50 yr olds giving $2k-$20k and we don’t have the 70 yr old tycoons on board giving $500k. I’m curious how this compares to SMU, Tech, Baylor, etc. Appreciate the guys who founded FlyingT and put in all the work to run it. If not for them, we’d be behind NIL. I’m curious if all these schools basically had fans take on the responsibility of nil clubs?

Behind? We have no nil. Smu probably Gave hawkins 3 million alone. Texas gave manning 20 million. Usc Gave Caleb 14 million. Marvin harrison Jr 20 million

I still don't fret about every recruit is the point. They are now employees like you or me in a job...no longer a relationship that you need to fret about. Here today gone tomorrow. Acting like it's your WAG is missing reality.

They haven't paid anything for performance or facilities for a few decades, so they should have plenty saved up. I mean, they even saved money by not buying bottled water for games. They should have a decent war chest by now.
