    QUAAACK: Sheldon QB Brock Thomas is a Duck

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted

    The NCAA limits roster size to 105 players until the first game or the start of classes after which it increases to either 115 or 125 (NCAA rules are difficult to find).  Scholarships are limited to 85 so the vast majority of D-1 teams will have between 20 to 40 non-scholarship players each year.   

     

    Although it is possible for a walk on to perform well enough to earn a full ride is is extremely rare, those that rise to stardom are few and far between.  There is a reason everybody knows Stetson Bennet was a walk on---it is a story that is newsworthy, certainly not the norm.  Maybe Brock Thomas will defy astronomical odds but I think it highly unlikely.

    Who Needs the Pros With a 13Mil NIL?

    I can see a $13 million offer with $.5 million true freshman year, $1 million redshirt freshman year if he sees the field, $2 million sophomore year if he becomes the starter, $4 million junior year if they make the playoffs, $6 million senior year if they win the championship... Less if benchmarks aren´t reached, more if they are exceeded.

     

    Multiyear contract with incentives, just like the coaches... with the ability to fire if expectations aren't met, just like the coaches.

     

    Although many of the guidelines on NIL are set by state laws generally performance based incentives are prohibited.  'Pay to Play' is still technically against the rules.

    Another 5* Enters Portal, Has Lanning Connection

    Some comments on Georgia boards that he reportedly almost left mid-season due to home sickness. Seems several posters expect him to end up at one of his home state Florida schools.

     

    Committed to Ohio State then changed his mind a few months later.  Enrolled at Georgia and changed his mind a few months later.  A true freshman is just a kid so not surprising.

    And as you said in previous articles Charles, maybe Cam just doesn't want to work as hard as Lanning is pushing everyone.

    Maybe, but with all the pain he endured and the effort he gave to rehabilitate himself from multiple injuries I seriously doubt that is the case

    New DB Coach Hired?

    It doesn't say what position but a blurb from Football Scoop

     

    Oregon: Dante Bartee, who spent last season as the defensive coordinator at Ottawa University (NAIA - KS), has accepted a position as a defensive assistant with the Ducks.

    Should the Ducks Fly With the Freakish 5-Star Athlete, Nyckoles Harbor?

    I am unsure if it works this way, but... Give the kid a full scholarship in track and PWO in football. NIL extends through all sports. 

     

    You have to get talent, this kid clearly has it. Every progr'm in the country wants this kid. Maybe we can get this kid w/o burning a scholarship. 

    NCAA rules require a scholarship be charged to football if a two sport athlete plays a single snap.  Further men's track is only allowed 12.6 scholarships.  You can't give a full ride to a single athlete in track unless he is a Steve Prefontaine level performer.
