How Much Are Recruits Getting Paid? | Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee College Football's BIG Spenders!

some of you might be asking Josh who is this stranger next to you well you know him as nil expert Pete naos wanted to get him on here because we've been experiencing some major commitments at the top of the rankings uh we talked David Sanders about two weeks ago uh the range of his nil deal was in the 1.3 million per year range so since then we've had another five-star offensive tackle come off the board Michael fusi he signed or he hasn't signed yet he committed to Oklahoma I wanted to just get your sense of what the range was what are you hearing that Michael fusi commanded nio dollars wise yeah so Michael fusi an elite offensive tackle and that same class as David Sanders we kind of broke it down last time I was on right these offensive tackles who are so needed uh in in in college football these days they kind of they don't drag out their recruitment but they're also one of the last ones to go in their Elite and it helps with their their market price and yeah Michael fusi uh commanded well over a million dollars uh with his commitment to Oklahoma yeah and that kind of makes sense because he was a couple slots lower he was I believe the number four ranked offensive tackle in America whereas David Sanders was the number one ranked offensive tackle in America but we also knew uh Steve Wilfong reported several times throughout this recruitment that nil would play a factor and boy did it so you're hearing over a million for Michael fusi now another festar off the board he went to Texas and Texas is known to pull out the Lambos on those official visits they are not afraid of nil and Jonah Williams the number one safety in America like Michael fusi also from the state of Texas and Texas was able to hold him in state we know Oregon was involved we know A&M Oklahoma uh LSU also involved what were you hearing in terms of nil dollars for festar Jonah Williams so yeah festar Jonah Williams comes off the board LS at Texas you really look at those schools though that were in that mix uh Texas Oregon uh we're talking about the The Heavy Hitters right now in the nil landscape so you know when you're just kind of looking at his recruitment that yeah nil was going to play a factor um he obviously committed over the weekend huge pickup for the Longhorns I was hearing that he was well into the high six figure range over half a million dollars um and and we're going to get into it some more here Josh but there's a lot more coming up yeah uh just this Friday Friday morning I love this Jamie French is committ at like 7:30 in the morning can we get more commitments at 7:30 in the morning please we it's great cuz we can talk about it all day but uh Jamie French five-star wide receiver out amander and Jacksonville High School and Jamie French we know has been taking the visits we know that there's been several teams involved here but he's currently trending to Texas uh what are you hearing the ranges in terms of what a five-star wide receiver like Jamie French could command when it comes to nil dollars so when we talk about festar wide receivers the place you you have to start when you start talking about that is Jeremiah Smith JJ Smith he reset the market last year when we talk about every wi receiver in this 25 class they are now comparing themselves to financial package that Jeremiah Smith planted a year ago Ian so when you're looking at that now it's anywhere between 300,000 and $700,000 for a top end wide receiver like a Jamie French right all right and and and you know I'll mentioned it too Ryan Wingo also reset that market those two together have really uh change what the market is for an elite wide receiver yeah and you know Chad and Steve they they cover recruiting kind of from the conventional angle through sources of via coaching staffs and seven on seven coaches and parents you kind of have a different angle on it you cover it from nil so do your nil context is it lining up that you think that Jamie French has headed to Texas yeah I mean just talking to some uh sources and things like that I really like where the Longhorns sit at the moment all right so we'll see about that uh commit season kind of ends I think with Jamie French committing at the end of the month we've seen so many guys come off the board so many big-time commitments in July and August so that takes us into the season yeah the football season which inevitably gets us to flip season which comes October November December uh what's a flip cost when it comes to nio because we're talking like hey David Sanders is commanding in the 1.3 range and we're hearing what Jonah Williams is commanding right now to commit in July and August but does a flip cost more money so flip season is the best season of the year especially for what I do when it comes to recruiting um so when we look at flips I think one thing you need to keep in mind is David Sanders and Michael fusi and Jonah Williams those guys have already kind of like agreed to terms to an a certain extent with these schools about what these packages are going to look like so for them to flip one it's really going to have to like be convincing that it's a better place for them and their family for the next four years and two it's really going to have to almost not in some situations the the package almost doubles um or it needs to final the financial package could almost double or it's going to have to have some some incentives that obviously if you want me to move off this spot you're going to have to bring it it makes sense and we've seen it in the past I mean everyone loves to talk about Jaden rashada um right he obviously KJ b b yeah I mean like there there there is a history in the last two to three Cycles about how nil has really dominated a flip season yeah and and look guys I bring Pete on I know not everybody watching this agrees with nil or the way that recruiting is going but hey whether you agree with it or not it's happening so we could either ignore it on this channel or we could sit here like adults and try to one explain it try to get you guys some real information some real data and also just just try to understand it so this leads me to my next question because this is something that I'm genuinely interested in we talk about these deals we also talk about flips so what happens when a recruit flips like what happens to that original deal is there a cause in there where he one does he ever get any of the money uh do they have to repay it is the deal just torn up because he never stepped foot on campus like what happens with a nil flip so these are high school recruits right the transfer port for example an athlete can't talk to a coach until they're in the portal recruits have yet to sign anything so they are completely free game so when you look at these nil packages and a flip some guys do receive money up front for a commitment that that is fact factually true um so sometimes they have to give back the money sometimes there isn't any money given up front and the the contract that has or has not been signed is ripped up and they flip um now the one that does that probably happen more often than not that happens more often than not but the deal was never actually right and and and so um the the preliminary injunction that happened in Tennessee against C NCAA in February that now allows recruits to have conversations with collectives and their agents and they can agree to terms on a contract they just can't sign anything right so I think this cycle is really going to be interesting to see okay how many contracts do exactly get ripped up because these contracts have been taken to a place that we haven't seen before in our recruitment um so yeah and and and Josh the one other thing too is we're still like what like five six months from national Signing Day a little bit less than that yeah about five yeah what happens on national Signing Day in the nil world is wild you will have a booster who wants to wake up and say I don't I don't like where our class is right now let's change that today um so sometimes it's a slow burn and it just kind of takes off on national Signing Day his nil because recruiting has always been crazy like let's not act like recruiting just got crazy in this nil era I mean back even in the 90s guys would come wake up in the morning and just sign with a school and it would you know it the surprises were even I think even more wild 15 20 years ago in recruiting so that being said nil do you think that some of these nil deals has actually solidified commitments or his nil kind of made it a little bit even easier to flip a guy I think nil has made it it's it's a case by case basis um you talk about the '90s right that's when cars just showed up in front of people's houses now it's a little bit more and there's no social media even know's happening exactly um I think for the right athlete it really solidifies that hey I'm done think so to I think we have seen that like you gave me everything I could want we agreed to an nil deal I'm going to be there in February and that's it but the other factual truth to all of this is that there's athletes who are going to make life-changing money yeah and if someone comes to the table and says hey you're making 750 right now or that's what you're set to make and we're going to give you two million I mean there's life-changing decisions that have to be made and that's how that's how some flips happen in the nil a and this is just how recruiting is right now we're going to try to bring you guys the truth the honest look at recruiting so hopefully you guys learn something here we're going to continue to bring pet on to talk about some of these numbers I mean I think as a family here as a YouTube family we're going to start to understand the ra the range of dollars for each position group I mean we're already seeing it like the offensive tackles are in the million to million3 range whereas position players and skill players are a little bit lower so we're starting to figure it out so continue to uh just take this ride with down this nil Journey we're going to we're going to we're going to keep explaining it we're going to keep covering it so just hang on tight we appreciate you guys well you've made it to the end of today's video but there's hundreds more
