I'm sure coop and other are being told about all the NIL deals they could get if they return.
A coach could play that the other way also.NIL $ does add another variable to the equation.
I would imagine that, unless one was a guaranteed early-round pick in the NFL draft, returning for another year of experience plus working on their bodies would be the wise choice. But, if one tends to be injury prone, then I'd lean toward going pro.
All I know is that we need all that we can get. Heupel made a good point on his radio show about us having almost a complete recruiting class gap in our roster. We are freshman and senior dominated. A lot of that goes to the probation that Pruitt left us with and then the defections.
Game film is why Pili is returning. He transferred from BYU to play against better competition but was injured early in the season.A coach could play that the other way also.
Hey coop you will have some good NIL deals, and IF you show the scouts you can stay healthy put 12 good games on film your draft stock goes up tremendously.
Makes since, just showing the scouts you can stay healthy an entire season as a LB in the SEC goes a long way as well if he can do that.Game film is why Pili is returning. He transferred from BYU to play against better competition but was injured early in the season.
