Cormani was told by Prime last year to do 3 things; show up for film time, show up on time for meetings and show up on time for practice. He was 0-3 and that's why Prime didn't start him. Plus there are stories of him showing up smelling of dope. Plus he was surly to sevral profs in his classes, a huge no no for Prime. When I was in college we called players like him a legend in their own mind
Dope? Define what dope means to you because weed ain’t considered to be dope in most communities.
I see someone watched neelys video lol
@@chrisrodgers877 lol he did
Tag uncle Neely next time cmon now !
@1THECJH im not gonna lie, neely sounded like a big hater, i understand being upset but dont do primes dirty work by releasing information on players that leave the program. Just move on because future recruits watch stuff like that. This is how lane kiffin had to learn the hard way at ole miss.
Nick Saban tried to warn everyone that this is what was going to happen. These kids are missing out on integrity, accountability, competitive character. All because the transfer portal allows them to run from adversity. RTR
Guys like Cormani need people on their corner that’s going to be honest with them and not coddle them.
He had that. He didn’t like it. Not being coddled is what ran him off.
@PapaDuck360 he's not talking about the coaches, he's talking family and friends. His mama is 100% why he acts the way he does.
If College coaches had some balls players like cormani would be on fcs level in a heartbeat players like him need a reality check it’s players that’s better in skill and character with lower stars ready to put the work in
I'm an old head as these youngsters like to say. We have a saying. They rather be hood famous. Hood meaning in their old neighborhood they came from. Now we can add the Gram/social media. They want to look good. Then unfortunately they're going to realize they wasted it all. Last resort they're going to use their last bit of money and try to flip in the drug game.
@@PapaDuck360He ran off because Peion Deion ain’t a coach he’s a side show clown
Limit how many times they can transfer.
The NCAA has no teeth.
No. The transfer portal as is better reflects a capitalist society
Dude on the left is a real sensible man the only one on 247 who speaking facts about this situation this is a program wide problem not one school these kids want money and to start without proving anything
@josephabridgesIII you’re 100% correct and the sad part is these kids that come into programs thinking cause their 4-5 stars they can just do what they want they’re going to be hopping from one team to another messing up their draft chances some will get humbled sadly it’s a small percentage of kids who actually want development the rest chasing money and likes
Transfer portal with NIL is destroying developmental talent, and the NFL a decade from now will probably have less talented draft classes than today.
Been saying all along that once the NFL sees the drop-off in quality of the finished cfb product then contract values will follow suit and the situation will eventually work itself out. We just gotta go from bad to worse before the market corrects itself.
@@gabeswitala2292 The cynic in me says the owners are probably the ones driving the portal now that you mention how payouts would most likely start to drop off
Rather than share the revenue with the players, the NCAA created the transfer portal and the NIL . This divided and concured the players, If I'm not starting I'm outta here no more competition it's a mess, created by greedy men.
That's OK, because the guys with real NFL aspirations will stick where they at for the most part. Some will move for sure but not many.
It’s destroying college football forever
You are definitely hitting on something here guys. Sadly , it will get worse before it gets better
I get it! I understand! I'm looking at the portal and I'm seeing the ratings, but then... I see 4 schools in 3 years? People are giving them too many excuses, but that's because most people seem to want the easy way thru life!
Once the NFL product is affected, this problem will be fixed.
I think we all want these guys to be compensated but most of them don’t want to compete and are surrounded by vultures. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY!
Exactly. And most of them will never play in the NFL.
I love how running backs are leaving to go be the guy elsewhere. They don’t realize that the more you carry the ball the less value you will have when you get to the league. You just banging up your body for an opportunity to make it. Draft day this guy had 500 carries in college will not be a good look.
The only way the portal will be fixed is if the d1 coaches decline the ones that transferred multiple times. Like how tf do you take in somebody that been to 2 different schools then put him against your player that been there grinding for 2 years sticking it out for the program. It’s just disrespectful
Coaches don't wanna do that but they need to produce results or they lose their job. A coach who is in the hot seat is gonna do what he has to do 😕
@@jemazondo9331 that is true but something has to be done cause if anything they’re protecting some the kids from transferring there self out d1
That’s the reality of it; these guys are not gonna go and be plug and play day one based off their names; Colorado was a unique situation as it was an absolute and complete roster revamp but other power 5 schools have their guys that’s been there that’s been developed in their program that gonna get there shot 1st
Life is going to hit these guys hard when after school . See how often you can transfer from adversity, jobs, etc
All facts in this video… these new era players are different .. they don’t understand how quick 4-5 years pass by
New sub here. I TOTALLY agree with your assessment, Cooper. If you want to start, work/ compete for it. If you want special treatment, work for it! Like Andrew said, 'Do you love football, or just all the stuff that comes with it?' Plus, rankings don't reveal work ethic or a players character.' Skill will only get you so far in life.
It is truly sad. These kids are 18, 19, or 20 years old and are being told their s*** doesn’t stink and being handed thousands of dollars, cars, and merch before they even step on the field. So, yeah, they are making bad decisions and maybe Mom & Dad want a piece too, but the system is NOT GOOD!
Is it really the players fault for not sticking it out when 95% of them will never earn more than college? Coaches are not held to the level of scrutiny for being nomads chasing a bag rather than sticking it out with the university that made them the one of the highest paid employees in their state. It’s almost like you’re upset because the players finally have agency to define their careers on their terms rather than the university. College players have always had the most limited shelf life and fans aren’t invested in the players as much as they are the institutions. Most fans don’t know 95% of the roster of their favorite college team until the first Saturday of the season and aren’t tuned in because they just care about winning with whoever they throw out there. No one stops watching when their favorite player jumped ship or a coach is no longer there.
Very true! I'm an LSU fan. Logan Diggs transferred from Notre Dame to LSU last year. He was the starting running back (and projected to start next season). He decided to transfer to Ole Miss. Ole Miss just snagged another starting RB from UMiami. So Diggs now is gonna have to compete with several RBs for the starting job. How dumb is that???
Not thinking straight
Coaches see it. They are either prepared to take the risk on transfers or they are not.
You are absolutely right about your assessment of these players, thank you
I’m very glad you guys said this. Every CFB player should be required to listen to it!
Man, this is spot on man.
Kids better get their degree cause 99.9 not going to the league. If I was a coach when recruiting in the portal I would only take a player that's transferring the first time.
You wouldn’t have a job long they have to win schools could care less bout kids graduating that’s on the kids
If you're a coach in the hot seat, you have to do what you gotta do.
I will say never forget these are some kids who have nothing at the time of recruitment- through college,etc. there is a mental health aspect to why it is all about the money & NIL is a saving grace for the unfortunate athlete who deserves pay for his likeness JUST LIKE CHILD ACTORS, ADULT entrepreneurs (since they are considered adults at 18) , etc. I support them forcing people to bring money to the table!! Now the booster can put their money where they ACTUALLY would like to put it
Simple solution: Power 5 schools should adopt a one Portal transfer policy for any non Red Shirt Athlete who received an NIL deal exceeding $75,000 . Unless the athlete pays back the NIL contract value in full Exception: 5th year Seniors, graduates or players from schools with new Head Coaches
This needs to be legislated in a real way by the decision makers of college football. Scholarships need to be guaranteed and players should not be allowed transfer without penalty MORE THAN ONCE. Without the penalty it just becomes the wild west.
Enjoyed this. Good stuff.
Coming out of High School and Hitting D-1 or in my Case D-2, you learn Ohh Crap, I'm not Bo Jackson, Michael Jordon, Wayne Gretzky like Everyone said I was. haha. You are now in the Company of the best Athletes in the Country. The emphasis on using the Portal for an athlete to find His greatness is a Mirage. You need to take a Gulp of Reality make it a mission to show Coaches YOU BELONG. Just the Cruel Reality of Life. I understand in some cases the Program is just not a good fit for whatever reason but that is like an OBESE person telling you they have a Thyroid Problem, most often the problem is You. Most the time You just have to Do the Work
Some of these guys will REMAIN in the portal. 😢😢😢
College is now a game of what can you do in 1 year with a team.
Everyone forgets what happens to a person's character at this age, especially when this amount of money is given effortlessly and without actual commitment. I mean c'mon, that's the nature of this world and it will never ever change.
What is getting out of hand is all these podcasters who want handouts TALKING about the Players who are taking the hits, but I guess the players shouldn't get PAID and are asking for handouts not 247 sports?
Great video. I'm all for the athlete, but what concerns me about the NIL and transfer portal is that it is beginning to look a lot like free agency in the NFL before the salary cap got control of it. The colleges or the collectives are trying to buy championships. The only problem with that is that the schools with less money backing them will always get the inferior athletes. If a plan is put in place to regulate the NIL then who does it and will THEY get out of control. Right now it's a sticky situation. God bless and go buffs cause we still here.
The difference is that these people have to feed their family. It's not this simple when you are the one that everyone id counting to make it big.
Well said yall there no commitment from players anymore in my opinion one minute they said committed then the next minute they transfer. I believe that if you get your college degree 📜 then you should be able to transfer automatically
The players are finally as free to move as the coaches are. This is the system the coaches and boosters made.
Exactly people get a high paying job with a new company then tell you grind it out a McDonald’s until they promote you to GM lol then when you find a high paying career they say You just want a Handout lmao man this is the problem
They need to actually have better rules to the Transfer Portal Period. Its teaching all these young athletes to not be loyal or dedicated to any of these schools/teams which is ridiculous. They need to go back to 1yr sitting out and or unless coaching change etc. Its getting pretty ridiculous. If NIL allows them to be paid, they need to have better rules and regulations. Flap out crippling young athletes/schools
Great players in college historically have never transferred. They got their playing time because they’re the best at their said position.
You can blame the kids because as a person you should control your ego, but these rankings that make their egos inflate are the ones you guys are giving them. We've all seen kids from small towns pushed along and look good on paper and don't pan out.
😂😂😂 they didn’t like the comment …when someone says “if we didn’t do it someone else would !” That’s only said when ppl are doing something they know they’re apart of
Where is the full episode
The portal is kinda out of wack, the coaches can leave at any time. So the kid's should have that option also. Eventually the portal will get fined toned. It's good a player can leave, you don't want a disgruntled guy in the locker room.
How many colleges can a math major visit? Is there a cap for an engineer major on how many transfers? These are students, right? Why are they treated like a commodity? Continue to expose your hypocrisy 😮
How much revenue are math & engineering majors generating for the university?
@dweez4703 so a commodity? Thanks negative capitalism
@josephabridgesIII @dweez4703 they do give scholarships for academic performance so... how is my IQ or shall we continue personal attacks.... I'm not J Cole once at war I don't apologize. I'm ready
@josephabridgesIII All he told you was the truth. Your argument won't hold up in court. Same thing with putting a cap on $. A regular student with a big social media following can use that to make millions and there is no legal right for the school to cap it. This is where college football is now. Give it a few years and the wild west will sort itself out. The big spending boosters will either have an roi, or they wont. THE PLAYERS WHO CHASED THE BAG WILL EITHER BE SUCCESFUL OR THEY WONT
Moral decay arrives in college football
It was already there. The things coaches have done for decades already did that. This has nothing to do with morality, this has everything to do with discipline and patience. The things coaches have done to get many of these kids are morally reprehensible. Morals is hilarious. These guys are no different than the typical college kid. All these future successes always talk about how wild their college years where, but none of you cared because it didn't effect you. Remove the morality thing, that is so freaking BS. This is lack of discipline with these kids. They have to be better than regular students.
@@ghostwalker89 it’s got everything to do with moral decay you furball. That’s where it starts
This rant is goofy. This has been going on forever. Look at the NFL. Guys who were stars for a year at Florida and then ending up working in a grocery store because they took payments illegally. Or you get a recruit going to a school because of money or something. We stopped talking about that stuff, I'm excited for show host to be more original than this in 5 years.
Great for the players. It gives them freedom!
TheGameBelongsToThePlayers
Its not a rant. Its the truth. Portal is out of hand!
these are still kids even if they get paid. more over sight. simple. less restriction.
“If we didn’t sell drugs to kids someone else would do it”
@josephabridgesIII These guys ain’t the ones handing out the checks. Blame the boosters. Don’t blame the kid who goes to 3 schools in 3 years when there’s a booster waiting there with a bigger check at each destination.
I laugh when I hear the word, "commitment".
Deion doesn’t have a proven coaching model. Also if you haven’t played you might not understand
Agree
How about Bear Alexander?
What about him? Last I checked he is staying at USC
The guys that couldn’t cut it at their original schools sure know their worth
Cormani s NIL bag is currently defeated and noone wants to pump it up Reality has kicked in
We live in a feeling generation
Coach Prime needs to be held accountable, especially for the Cormani situation. Let’s remember that this is about an introverted 19-year-old who seems to lack a male father figure to guide him. He left his comfort zone, traveling hundreds of miles because he believed he found that guidance in Coach Prime. Despite his physical attributes, it’s clear that the kid lacks the personal confidence usually fostered by a father figure. Being a head coach, Prime likely doesn't have the time or patience to provide that personal mentorship. Instead, there’s constant public criticism, and I'm 100 percent sure Cormani doesn't know how to handle constructive criticism. Not everyone is as prepared and polished as Travis Hunter.
You are clearly ignorant of the situation, so why comment? You want to blame the coach for Cormani being late to meetings, not watching film, not showing up for practice, and an apparent drug problem? Did you not hear the schools considering him currently? But it's the coach's personal issue, right?
The coach can't be his daddy c'mon that's wild to even bring up.
People dont know how to understand beyond feelings. For the CP haters, he cant do nothing right; the CP lovers hecant do nothing wrong.. smh
I don’t imagine people liking this take. I won’t say I disagree with what you are saying because I feel it’s a hundred percent valid, but I don’t agree with placing the blame on Deion. It cuts both ways. So I also don’t think the public shaming was good for this kid in particular. I can see a world in which Deion promised to treat him as his own but with that comes the responsibility of the player/child to follow the directives laid out by the parent/coach. So I can see Deion cutting the rope when CM refused to play by the rules. Yet, you can give up on a player in ways you wouldn’t give up on your child. So his mother should have done a better job of making a choice.
@@shabue its not 100% valid. Some of it is, but coaches have tried to help him, but he continues to have those problems. Think about it like this, if anything was getting through his head, why did he leave? He wants to be coddled. All you care bears will realize once he has the same problems at his next school.
Boo hoo hoo. People fail all the time. Stop being concern trolls.
If I'm a high star player I would hit the portal every year- go to the highest bidder
facts❤
RTR
How many times have YOU changed jobs? Let some of these young men LEARN like you did…. My son is free to play where he wants to…. Just like YOU….its a job
💰💰💰💰💰💰
College football an the NFL are going to lose half of the people that watch football that’s why I don’t watch the NBA and now I won’t watch college football or the NFL again money has ruined both of them. It’s a shame for the ncaa to do this it’s gonna be the end of college football!!!!
These player's are only doing what the coaches have been doing for years. Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun.
Entitled much?
Y’all stay bashing people when they can all be replaced let ppl go where they feel valued and appreciated smh
💯💯💯👏🏿
@@DirtyDawg_3zzz these guys are weird imagine if they worked their very 1st job grinders it out there until they became CEO that’s fantasy! If 247 sports fired them they gone look for another sports company to work for but they don’t see that tho
If that’s what you get from this video wow , the channel as a whole what anchor on this channel hasn’t wished the best for a transfer ? None. All are understanding of it but it’s more to discuss other than “ feeling valued”.
@@1THECJH dude I didn’t watch anything on 247sports for more than 30 seconds and being valued is a paraphrase for complex discussion you want to be so correct instead of Comprehending the message you and ppl like you are in for a rude awakening 😤 be bless live kid and do better !
These kids are gonna get stuck in the portal ......what happens to them then?
How can u get mad , cause they wanna make money , every body else getting money
They are talking about a kid ruining himself not anything else. A guy goes to 5 high schools then 4 colleges in the span of 7 years? Do you understand how crazy that is? How can you ever develop if you're never at a place longer than a year? The facts are the parents are nor teaching these kids right.
Nobody's mad people just don't wanna see kids throw away real money for 10 or 20k they end up without a degree and not going pro
@@ghostwalker89 It'll work itself and in about 5 years we'll have our results. The big spender boosters will either have an ROI or they will not. The players who chased the bag will either be successful or they won't. Once kids and parents see that the 4 schools in 4 years model doesn't work, they'll act differently. Maybe...😅
College football is dead
It’s a ashame? 😂😂😂
