Francis Brewu’s career background​

Brewu was originally considered to be a consensus three-star player by each of the major recruiting platforms coming out of the 2024 class. He ended up ranked as the No. 481 overall player, the No. 56 defensive lineman, and the No. 20 player from the state of Ohio in the 2024 recruiting class, according to the 247 Sports Composite ranking. That Columbus (Oh.) Thomas Worthington standout ended up as the second-highest rated player in the class for the Panthers.

Despite a somewhat modest offer list, the Ohio native did have some impressive options on the table. Some of Brewu’s top offers included Miami, Iowa State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Boston College, Cincinnati, Minnesota, Northwestern, and Duke, among many others. The offer list will be even better this time around.

In two seasons with the Panthers, Brewu has developed into one of the defensive linemen in the ACC conference. During that stretch, the talented defender managed to record 42 total tackles, 9.5 sacks, 3.5 sacks, and a forced fumble. There is even more talent to continue tapping into as he moves into the future.

ok this is actually super gross. It was sort of funny before when we weren’t losing a ton of players but for Washington to lose Williams and for teams best players to bail? Thats disgusting.

NCAA won’t do anything because they’re spineless cowards but something needs to be done. Maybe require 2 year at a school before being given a 1 year transfer? Something.

But this is ridiculous

You can put clawbacks in a contract but the ship has sailed on forcing kids to stay. SCOTUS said so.

These collectives need to start having kids sign contracts then and take them to court if they bail. The kids having all the say in how things go is ridiculous. These schools need to start enforcing or it’ll continue.

I think we are starting to see it.

Problem is the market place. If you’re the place that wants to lock people down 130 some odd other places will say “ we don’t do that here. Come on down”

It’s got to happen at some point but it’s not something you want to be first with

Question is will courts let them enforce contracts or just continue the free for all

It will depend on the quality of each contract.

I think the issue will be the same as any civil suit. It can drag out for a couple of years and will just end up in a settlement.

Money may change hands but you can’t make them stay if they don’t want to.

Yeah I thought of that too. Damn what a broken system because you’re right how do you not look like the asshole program sticking it to kids?

I suppose you just lean into it. IMO, you don’t sign any more 5 star kids. You take 25-30 kids every year that are seen as “projects” out of high school. This way you’ll get a year to see which 15 are serious ball players. Then with the attrition you go out and portal productive experienced kids.

Then rinse repeat.

I would never pay for a HS top recruit unless they’re a sure fire can’t miss. RB, WR, and secondary players maybe but either LOS or LB or QB you need developed players.

This needs to become the NFL soon. There should be 1-4 year deals and that should be enforceable.
