Travis Hunter In the Portal

We need to take a swing, but I’m not expecting any return

 

[Zbrod95]

for what? paying kids? lol we pay kids too. everyone can pay them now through NIL.

No. For running his mouth. That stuff leads to violations too.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

I mean that’s one way to view it. Im more in the middle

I try my best to avoid the naive or feel good takes when it comes to anything involving money. If anyone chose to take Prime at his word that he was gonna bring HBCU’s back to glory and thought he was gonna be there forever, that’s on them. That was never the reality. He’s great at self marketing. He did his job and IMO it worked out well for both parties.

 

[Canesq]

I felt the same way when he quit. Jackson St. did Deion wrong though. Prime was right to leave. Our people don't like nice things amongst ourselves. SMH

Agree we’ll see if JSU and other HBCUs finish what he started.

 

[JHallCanes]

If cribby hasn’t said anything regarding this, I’m not bothering listening lol

Or maybe he’s not saying something for a reason

 

[JamesQuall]

Who do you think is behind the rumors? I’m sure it’s coming from Deion’s camp because it makes him look better.

Possibly, but then I would argue how simple would it be for JSU to have receipts that say otherwise? I can see it be either way honestly and again I don't have a vested interest one way or the other.

All I'm saying is people are making him out to be a bigger evil than what the reality of the situation is. I would say 99% of this board and the vast majority of people would have done the exact thing he did if they were in his situation.

Don't do it to yourself, bro. Dude is following Deion and that's it.

I’m telling y’all..that move to Colorado isn’t that simple when your from Florida and spent a year at A hbcu in Mississippi...this kid (once again) is gunna have every option in cfb..you take a hard swing at him..Deion isn’t gunna be around 24/7 to keep him company..this regime isn’t nor should they concede **** to nobody

 

[tsimonitis]

Who is this?

 

[305to954]

Ppl wanted to concede cormani to UF..Bain to whomever, mark to UF..Collins was a waste of time..Francis was a pipe dream..huncho wasn’t coming..

From left to right:
Travis Hunter, Brandon Innis

I agree that him going to CU is not a lock. Going from JSU to Boulder will be a big culture shock and Hunter has nothing more to prove. He's going to be a Junior? So realistically this probably his last year before he declares. Student population of CU is 33K. AA student population is 600 students. UM's population is 17K, with 1000 AA students.

Years ago, I saw LL Cool JJ perform at the Filmore in Denver. There were no more than 10 AAs at the show out of several thousand. To say it was odd was an understatement. I would expect that for maybe Train, but not LL. AA populations in CO is 4.7%. Very little diversity in CO. Outside of the Central American migrants working the typical jobs, I didn't see a lot of Hispanics. Maybe things have changed since the state is on the forefront of the cannabis industry but not according to recent census stats. Beautiful state but not for me and maybe not for Hunter.

Now none of this may matter but if Travis Hunter turned down a scholly to FSU and the perks of being close to FAMU for JSU in order to help Sanders gain recognition to HBCs then maybe he doesn't see the appeal of going to Colorado besides just going to a Power 5 school. if that's the case, then there are much better Power 5 situations with NIL $$ for what could potentially be his last year of college. Obviously playing for Prime has a certain appeal but is it enough for him not to consider Miami, NIL coin and a much more diverse culture?I am not sure.

Travis Hunter Reportedly Narrows Transfer Decision Down To 4 Schools

Almost exactly a year ago, Travis Hunter stunned the college football world when he announced that he would sign with Jackson State to play for head coach Deion

FL kids go to Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin all the time, though. It gets just as cold in Columbus, Ann Arbor and Madison as it does in Boulder.

would love some indication that we are actually even trying, like an annoucement of an offer, coaches communication, etc

otherwise it's just hunter playing the game to avoid tampering

 

[WR Cane]

Down to 4 schools.

UGA, CU, USCw, Miami.

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

Its not difficult to see what's going on here.

Sanders told Hunter he wants him with him at Colorado, but to do what's best for him. Which is what Hunter said in his video.

Hunter will follow that advice and take visits, before doing exactly what we all expect him to do. Following Prime to Colorado. Him acting like a father figure by telling Hunter to do what's best for him is the excuse Hunter will use to follow him there.

End of story.

Totally agree , however if he lands on an OV somewhere before he decides it’s officially fair game.

Right…because there is nothing confirming that Miami is legitimately pursuing dude or anything confirming his interest in Miami. It seems like Miami is being mentioned because of how they’re currently doing on the recruiting trail.
