I believe when he was being recruited he got offers for.much bigger schools but he stuck with us. Obviously with NIL nothing is off the table but I could see him staying. I still can't believe Battie left so he could gain less than 250 yards with Auburn. If he's not a starter next year he made a huge mistake leaving Edited November 27, 2023 by NinjaPenguin777 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm reading it correctly, the only school to offer that was "bigger" than us was ucf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember someone on here really talking him up, maybe Gator, but then checking 247, his offer list really didn't back that up with, like you said, UCF being the highest profile of the rest. Maybe there were other offers not listed ...... I'm sure that list would look a different now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He RAVED about him to me and said that we didnt even know how good of a QB we recruited. Then I started researching him and watching film. Im not sure how a QB that had 3800 yds passing and 1200 yds rushing went under the radar so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all clapped but then I realized the double meaning in that statement. I don't think everyone is like that. With his dad going to every game, and the entire family engaged. There's a lot more to it than a kid raised by social media to believe it's all about the bag (as Willie and his twitter friends emphasized).

I'm sure he did but with his talent he could have been the feature back and returner here. He would have gotten a big spotlight and better looks for the draft. What did he get like $500k? If he gets about the same yardage next year then his draft stock is gonna tank unless he didn't think he would get drafted anyway due to his size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It became the driver of his decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if that's what got him to enter the portal or what was offered after he got in the portal. His dad said on Twitter/X that he never encouraged Brian to enter the portal, but once he was in the portal, he encouraged him to go to Auburn. Either way, shortsighted to take the immediate lump sum payment and end up buried on the depth chart with little exposure as opposed to being the main horse where he was already at and getting exposure as an All American and making a better draft case for himself. Long-term NFL money >>> one-time payday to move to Auburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
