He’ll bring a lot to the table for us.

Wonder if it's too late to get Germie Bernard. Kid is outstanding.

Seeing as how Germie de-committed from the flubskies as soon as Adams accepted the Oregon gig, it could happen...

He’s still committed and signed with UW?

I mis-spoke... Germie requested a release from his NLI right after Adam's accepted the job.

Gotcha, I hadn’t heard he requested out of his NLI.

He's already up in Seattle and today was their first day of winter term so it remains to be seen if he can get out of it after enrolling and attending classes.

Rumor that he is joining the Ducks and is working to get out of his LOI. Prepare for UW meltdown!

Is this U DUH's version of the "Nuclear Option"?


The funkiest seem to be in a prolonged Chernobyl moment.

In th age of transferring whenever you want, I don't fully see the value of having NLIs anymore.

For 4-star kids that can get a full ride almost anywhere there’s not much value unless you’re locking in your spot at a top school like Bama. But for borderline P-5/G-5 or G-5/FCS kids they won’t get forced out of a class. Plus, I think this locks in your 4-year guaranteed scholarship.

Early signing day is not what was intended originally. It’s become the de-facto signing day, forcing earlier coaching changes as a ripple and hurting the regular season, let alone bowls. Unless you’re an early enrollee or one of those borderline kids or someone wanting to end the process ASAP it’s just hurting the recruits. There are kids who are late risers that are limited in options because classes are full. Or cases like this: position coach or head coach or coordinator leaves, and kids are stuck with coaches they don’t know and possibly a system they don’t fit in. They always say commit to the school and not the coach, but we know how that goes.

What does an NLI even mean now? A kid can leave at any time and go anywhere, and play immediately. So all it does is lock in their scholarship? But gives the school no guarantee

Right. I should have clarified that I mean for the school. The student gets a benefit. In this case, I am unclear why Bernard would need to be 'let out of his NLI'. Can't he transfer like anyone else?
