2018-2019 NCAA Football Season Thread Football • Page 3

@Night Channels where do you have Stanley Morgan?

 

He's right outside that top five. He reminds me a lot of Davante Adams.

If someone like Deebo gets injured (again), Morgan is probably the next guy in.

 

Popping in to say "Go Big Red!"

 

If BJ Emmons shows up at Florida Atlantic, Lane Kiffin might have the best one-two punch at running back in the country.

Singletary spelled by a monster power back like Emmons will be hard to stop.

Oklahoma is going to be an extremely difficult game for FAU, but they should beat the hell out of everyone else on their schedule.

 

UGH. I'm so excited for this season.

 

kyler murray went #9 in the MLB draft, wow. much higher than i expected

 

yeah. pretty interesting. what are the chances he pursues that?

 

probably much higher now that he went #9. i doubt that they would have taken him if they thought he had any thoughts about prioritizing football. still don't know if he'll play this year, i could see them doing that, but this is a 4m+ bonus here. I thought he'd be a second round lottery picky as opposed to a top pick

 

yeah. interesting. seems like a tough decision. he's 20-1 odds right now on the Heisman, which is pretty decent. interested to see how he moves forward, have always liked him.

 

yeah, i was super excited to see him play QB this year. i know a lot of evaluators don't like him at QB, since he's another short guy, but he's super athletic and he's been waiting years to start

 

Murray would be foolish not to pursue a professional baseball career.

 

The NCAA is dumb as hell. Players getting in trouble if it's found out a coach buys them a burger but this is okay?

OU or Oakland A's? Kyler Murray looking at difficult decision

 

I mean, this isn’t a new loophole. Jeff Smardjiza (spelling?) played minor league ball while at Norte Dame. Russell Wilson did, too. I think Dennis Dixon did while QB at Oregon.

Edit: to be clear, it’s dumb as hell.

 

Nebraska got a McCaffrey. He’s a QB.

 

Fuck yeah shitfuck

 

Michigan has a McCaffrey qb too

 

Murray playing this year when he's gonna play baseball seems bad

 

Michigan ain't shit

 

Luke McCaffrey is going to be so good

 

I knooooooow

 

He had an offer from UNC and apparently was heavily considering it. Bummer.

 

Why? Once he signs the baseball contract the money is guaranteed.

 

Baseball teams are dumb if they don’t have a clause in the contract about playing another sport (especially a high risk one like football). If he gets hurt playing somewhere else, not affiliated with their club, they shouldn’t have to pay him full amount.

 

As far as I know, that rule doesn't exist and it's up to the team to offer him enough money to not play football and focus on baseball right away.
