2025 Jahkeem "Thanos" Stewart 5* DT from New Orleans

[AUcane]

Ew, why? Riley is about to be fired next year

You know the answer.

LSU fans are melting down. Love it

Anyway, horrible move by USC. Kid has played one season of HS. Don’t want to spend all your NIL on a kid like that

 

[Yoyo423]

I think this kid is going to the one school that's desperate enough to give him what his NIL value would be if he was still on the class of '26.. But reclassifying to '25 probably drops his value a little bit.

Oregon pushed hard here and got close allegedly

He got 2 million from USC.

 

[The U is back to work]

Paying a HS Jr $2m is just insane to me. He’s going to need time to develop.

 

[Golsen82]

Ha USC don't play defense

 

[GojiraCane]

He got 2 million from USC.

Think about that. How much do the other 84 players get? How much is USC now willing to spend per year? $35M $50M?

Okay, does DT Carlton Jones (.9132) ask for a raise? What about Jiide Asiri (.9004)? Or the defensive ends - what about Braylan Shelby (.9609) and Kameryn Fountain (.9687)?

Nice to know even in the boot the kids once fiercely loyal to LSU are being bought out of the state

 

[htownkidd]

If true…
That is absolutely.*******.insane.

And I’d bet good money he comes nowhere close to fulfilling that. Not at SC, but good for him. Get ya money big dawg.

 

[Yoyo423]

Didn't the kid play 1 year or high school football?

 

[htownkidd]

Didn't the kid play 1 year or high school football?

Yes lol

 

[Yoyo423]

Just found the article

He's played 12 varsity football games.

12.

Meet Jahkeem Stewart, the coveted five-star and a multimillion-dollar gamble

He's 17 and thinks he's ready to dominate college football. Where he goes and what happens next are huge signing day questions.

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

He got 2 million from USC.

Good for him, but I don't think he's worth that **** much coming out of high school.

Better them than me.

How many DL leaving USC?

People have to know Kelley is on borrowed time too

2 mil per! Not just 2 mil...
***** insane

 

[SinisterCane]

Think about that. How much do the other 84 players get? How much is USC now willing to spend per year? $35M $50M?

I was stoned to death on CIS when I said that we need to make these elite HS players multimillionaires now look at us now what a **** in my hand

 

[GojiraCane]

2 mil per! Not just 2 mil...
***** insane

Now, just imagine if he or another player could petition the courts to strike down the four years of eligibility rule.

So let's say it's struck down. How much would the University of Texas offer Arch Manning to avoid going to the NFL and just stay at Texas for the next 14 years?

I think that development might take a backseat in year 1 for some of the premier recruits

Year 1: Overhyped Recruit A signs strictly for the most money possible. Development and even playing time in the first year are irrelevant. It's about maximizing that first contract
Year 2: If he performs to hype, he asks for more money. If not, he enters the transfer portal

or...

Since he signed only for money and he got his payday, he might seek a more moderate deal with a team that actually could develop him for the NFL

It will be really interesting to see what percentage of the Top 100 enters the transfer portal in a year
