Supposedly Kyler Murray leaning toward entering the 2019 NFL Draft I thought he would stick with baseball
I’m guessing if he goes high enough to pay back that 4 million dollar check from the a’s he will go the football route
Joe, TFB definitely got a scoop on Herman going after Arranda since he was Herman's first choice last time and turned it down. Those guys either have great inside contacts or are really MENSA level smart. As for Kyler, he's doing the Hart Lee Dykes thing, and will get signing bonuses from both. Only difference is Kyler will get the larger bonus from baseball and Hart Lee got the larger one from the Patriots not the White Soz.
it's all relative now. 2-sport star getting bonuses and contracts from both sports means way more money in endorsement deals than in bonuses. if he can force the issue, it's big bucks from nike and wheaties.
5'9" QB's don't have much of a shelf life in the NFL as they cannot see the middle of the field while in the pocket and cannot survive outside of the pocket.
Mark Schlabach at ESPN has a column listing 10 bold predictions for 2019. #6 Urban Meyer is the coach at USC in 2020. #8 We play the aggies in next year's Sugar Bowl. Food for thought.
I agree BT.... I think the Ags are a year away (or two) and Saban is just reloading. Ags have Clemson on the road, Alabama at home, and then at Georgia and at LSU to finish the year....they win two of those games and they're happy.....We're bringing back a lot of starters and our depth will start to emerge.....But, we shall see....
Listening to ESPN radio this afternoon, Petros Papadakis explained in detail the problems facing the USC program. Pretty serious issues like no University President at the moment, and apparently large recent payouts related to lawsuits. Add in Helton, the KK debacle and the fact that Swann has no background for his job. Sounds like a big mess. I do agree with the Meyer prediction to USC. The aggies might play in the Sugar Bowl but I doubt it. We won’t, but we might play in the “Super Dome” on 1/13/20...
Now ou has lost both starting OTs to NFL And 4 of 5 total starting offensive lineman (OGs Ben Powers and Dru Samia were seniors, RT Cody Ford already announced and now LT Bobby Evans) That's a shame Oklahoma now losing both OTs to NFL draft
More bonus money in the 1st round of NFL Draft Also, only 66% of MLB first round picks ever make MLB at all. And just 46% of first round picks last three or more years in MLB. "If Murray is a first round NFL pick he’d earn 2-7x more money in football than baseball over next 5 years ...." Kyler Murray: Is The NFL A More Lucrative Option Than MLB for Oklahoma QB?
You need to cut the Ags some slack. They are trending upward. 4th place in the SEC West is a marked improvement from Sumlin finishing 7th and losing at home to the 8th place team in the SEC West. At this rate, the Aggies could contend for second in the SEC West by 2030 & possibly challenge for the SEC CG to celebrate the centennial of their one and only National Championship. Keep that quiet though, lest the Ags put the trophy & plaque in their new trophy room now.
He won't be all world, but that's what they said about Doug Flutie. He didn't enter the NFL until after his legs were not a strength, and he did alright.
Hate to be THAT guy, but aggy finished 2nd in the SEC West this season...likely a high water mark for the near future...
All the players with the solid red "NO RS" blocks were ineligible to redshirt, by rule. Otherwise they were eligible to RS.
