What’s wrong with sunbelt guys or any other smaller conference guys. If the

kid can play he can play. Example Hawkins was a former division 3 player, Tuten I believe NC A&T to just name a couple. The Ole Miss QB played last yesr for some small division school I’ve never heard of and beat Georgia and is still in the CFB playoffs in the final four. You’re either a player or you’re not no matter what level or conference you’re from.

But does he retain them because they had deep NIL pockets?**

Could be, but it is said players love him.**

Impossible balance...
