University of West Florida...Div II. Not FCS...Div II. Why would we be recruiting a DIV II QB?

It was reported he was entering the portal. Maybe that was incorrect or he had a change of mind but I saw it somewhere, could have been here
I was thinking he was a SR, too, but apparently just a JR!
I have always liked Patterson, for how hard he runs on the field, and for how much he seems like a team-oriented dude. That is a lot of young talent in the RB room. Would anyone be surprised if McNeil was the man, next year?

Patterson has another year unless he's leaving in the portal.

Must have been just speculation. Haven't seen it reported anywhere

I haven't seen that anywhere, googled it and couldn't find anything.

Pavia started at a JUCO and there have been other examples. Maybe he was a late bloomer. Lots of cases of DIII guys going to the NFL as well as DII so there is talent at those levels

I think this is the issue. Anyone remember all the drama with Nico Lamaleava and Tennessee? Balked at his NIL deal and then went fishing to Oregon and Dan Lanning. Lanning called Huepel and both washed their hands of him. Ended up at UCLA, and with a new coach, who knows if he stays.
I'm curious where some coaches stand when a player dips his toe in the NIL to see if he can make more money but then retracts and wants to continue his college career with the program. It would make me question one's loyalty to the program and not sure I would want them back. However, when the player is a playmaker, I suppose you bite the bullet.
Biggest issues I see are the agreements made by NIL and the player. Apparently not a binding contract? Or is it? Seems like they are easily broken and one can play "Let's make a deal" with another school with no issue or penalty.
I can't recall the details but Georgia is suing one of their former recruits over payments he received right before he entered the portal and transferred to Mizzou. IF they win, it could set precedence over future issues with this.
And in the case with Matt Campbell, he wanted more money dispersed to his players in lieu of only paying certain players. I think that was some of the riff with he and Pollard. Allegedly Penn State pays all their players from top to bottom. I assume the payments vary.
I think I kinda follow KF's idea of what the NIL was. All players receiver equal payments or at least get paid. Granted, that requires a large amount of revenue. And for some programs is unrealistic.

I saw it somewhere but have listened to a couple of Kirk's recent interviews and he said as of that time (Yesterday) they had their full roster besides Stratton so maybe it was false or he changed his mind?
There was a Josh Patterson from Iowa St. that entered the portal (DB).

Now I remember this Marcus Stokes kid. Was like the 14th best QB prospect his senior year and was a Florida commit I believe. Made some Tik Tok reciting some rap lyrics and dropped the "N bomb" while singing, and got some heat over social media because the kid is white. Got his scholly pulled and everyone backed away. Ended up at West Florida. Didn't do a lot his freshman year but tore it up this year. Dual threat QB.

Isn't it pretty transparent? I mean one can go to a site and see all the players that are in it along with potential $ amounts they might get.

Prob a good chance undersized to. Most of Div II and III are.
Do you know what Iowa's total pool is? Do you know how much each player on the team gets? Do you know how big their offers to targets are?
I don't know any of that stuff, and I have no idea if that info is available somewhere.

Disagree. There may be some that go to the NFL from Div II or III but not a lot. There are many more from good JUCO's going to the NFL than Div II or III. Actually, Div1 teams don't really pull any players from Div II or III. Once you choose Div II or III, you are pretty much going just to play because you like football while staying and getting a 4 yr degree from said school. JUCO guys are often highly rated guys who either have to work on grades or get their shit straightened out and/or underrecruited players. You have 4* guys at JUCOS. JUCOS often have Div1 program coaches visiting seeking out potential recruits. Iowa Western have had many players go on to Div1 and some in the NFL.
Now you have the very rare players making at splash in the NFL, like Coe College's Fred Jackson and Carey Bender who played in the NFL at RB, but those are few and far between.
