It seems like we've had quite a few TEs that haven't panned out over the last decade or so. It was the less-recruited guys like Stoll and Allen that did well, but highly-recruited guys like Rollins, Hickman, Rafdal, Carnie, etc. didn't do much. Fidone has had injuries....hopefully Carter Nelson doesn't become another one that disappears.

The playoff is “the show” - the rest of the bowls are similar to NIT tourney. We have to at least make the NIT!!!

I didn't read any of the links, too lazy, but my gawd it all makes sense now! Obviously Cignetti is a cheater, you can tell just by looking at the evil bastard.

Okay so speaking of the TE position. What is the deal with AJ Rollins, I remember watching this kid in HS, particularly on the basketball court, and really thought he had the tools to be a special TE.

Also it still kind of stings not getting the kid from Pierce last year. He has already played a pretty big roll for Iowa State in his season and a half.

Rhule announced the intention to redshirt Coleman before the season even started, right?

Said he needs to develop physically or something of the sort?

I don’t think injury has anything to do with it.

I think if your NIL deal is through a “collective” there’s little responsibility on the athletes part cause the money comes from so many different sources. I think each contract stands on it’s own, as in, if a singular company donates a large amount to a collective with the understanding that this money is for a specific player or sub-set of players that are required to advertise for said company. Then yes, I suppose there would be some contractual obligations to advertise for said company. But in that sort of situation, why wouldn’t that company ink the NIL deal privately instead of going through a collective? In the end, the NIL money from a “collective” comes from a wide ranging and diverse pool. Private donations from fans and boosters, private companies and/or anyone who wants to support these athletes. In many cases there really isn’t any one specific company or organization for these kids to advertise for, except the collective it’s self.

I get it, I am just not sure Coleman's injury was one that required him to be out this long during the season. By most accounts, he was practicing all summer and even through camp. IF they were worried about a nagging injury why would they allow that to occur?

Not even in my mind. I think it’s a milestone that needs to be reached.

Dec bowl games are just universally more meaningless now that the playoff has expanded

Agree. Some coaches rush guys back and the player never gets right. That was what I was trying to say.

I am not sure those are the same thing. Coleman hasn't torn his ACL two years in a row.

This makes sense. They had a plan to get Fidone healthy and it worked. Hopefully this works for Coleman. He got mugged last year. With DR he might be good for 2 or 3 DPI a game.

I’m sure it’s not. I just thought that you couldn’t do “pay for play”. Maybe I’m wrong. Do these kids have to do some sort of advertising or something for that money?
