K92 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Perfect opportunity for Akron to get this kid and some free publicity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morris buttermaker Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I wouldn't waste a scholly on a kid that didn't deserve it... I liked the quote that Khalil is an incredibly humble and quiet guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is true: Offering a scholarship to his brother potentially has tons of benefits that go far beyond whether he ends up working out for them as a player. I'm sure they waste plenty of other scholarships on a yearly basis that don't produce nearly the benefits that this one could produce.

Offers should be reserved for blue chip prospects like Blake Dennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipmeister Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Making the heroic assumption that I'm not the last guy to figure this out, I offer the following. When a head football coach leaves a mid-major school to assume the head coaching job at a P5 school, how can he reward a bad coach for loyalty and, at the same time, remove the bad coach from a coaching position? Make him a general manager. I figured this out while reviewing the new football staff positions at Kansas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nobody has heard of him, how good can he be? It's one thing to waste a scholarship on a player you thought could turn out to be good. Even schools like Alabama make mistakes. It's another to waste a scholarship on a player that is an almost certain bust. Good programs are not built on wasting scholarships on highly questionable players. Far too many schools have wasted too many scholarships over the years for "political" reasons. Recruiting is the lifeblood of college athletics and scholarships are how teams go about getting players. Scholarships cannot be wasted. Success is not easy and difficult choices have to be made. All of this will blow over for UB. They will be in much bigger trouble if they have several losing seasons in a row. In closing, this kid's brother is a highly paid NFL player with the resources to afford to pay for his brother to attend UB as a walk-on. Let him put his money where his Twitter feed is.

It took you over four years to come up with that reply! Come on, you are better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicking off both halves and running around with a clipboard jammed down the front of your pants should automatically qualify you for this list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
