Paul

[socaldave]

18-22 year old still a college student with no real life experience - he is a babe amongst wolves. I can guarantee if you if more stories come out (and even if they dont) of college kids being made false promises on NIL compensation there will be a union/representation/protection that will appear.

Yes I agree you learn from making mistakes - but this is not you going to John's Auto Body to get a 'deal' and then it ends up costing you triple because he did a hack job. These are college students making NIL deals under the NCAA and College bubble - no way anyway should be getting ripped off or sold a false bill of goods under these circumstances.

Probably nobody on here knows the whole story - we are all going off of what we are hearing. It sounds like he was told one thing, and then got another. Who knows how tongue and cheek that convo was or what was and was not said to him. Like a lot of things in sports we are going off sources and rumor.

Of course he should have had a signed a contract or some kind of an offer sheet - but how is some average college kid who is dealing with something like this for the first time supposed to navigate this? Again that's the case for these kids to have some kind of representation.

Let me also be clear - I agree with Pike about him not coming back. He made a decision that put us in a bad spot because of the timing and then we had to react. I think he messed up his legacy a bit here, but he was a 4 year player that played some major minutes and was a 2 year captain. I welcome him back with open arms whenever he wants to visit, and thank him for what he did here - despite not the best ending. And oh yeah, he certainly isn't the first 22 year old to make a questionable decision - and he definitely won't be the last.

This is a lot, and John’s auto body has a lot more to do with real life.
Just keep up all this BS and the goose will get cooked. Something very wrong here!!!

22 year old kid...

You're not a kid at 22. You can vote, drink, drive, join the military, etc.

He made his bed, he can lay in it.

Maybe not a kid but brain development is not complete until mid to late 20s.

Don’t know if this is Paul but would be hilarious if it’s true. Couldn’t happen to a worse guy.

Worse guy? I don’t love Paul for what he did, but he is far from a bad dude

Couldn't happen to a worse guy? Yes, he let us down in leaving, but while he was here he gave us all he had. I'm sure he's a better person than you however, because it takes a real scummy person to make that comment.

You just defended him more in one post than Ron/geo/Caleb have in 5 years. Pike didn’t let him back for a reason. Dirtiest player in America to boot.

Aw you still mad about the trip?

One of the most hyperbolic statements in America to boot. What a bunch of baloney.

Nobody posted this?

He didn't need a defense from them, and none of them ever said anything about him that was anything but positive. Only a DB would say "it couldn't happen to a worse guy."

You defended his dirty play and whining for 4 years because he played for your school. Same reason you bought all his bs about not caring about money. It’s hard for simple people to put away their biases and see the truth. Sad but true.

Why the vitriol, he played four years at RU had some great moments, I think he made a dumb and emotional decision, but life is full of lessons. Pike made the right decision not to look back, too much potential turmoil, sometimes the door locks when you leave the building, and no one comes to reopen it. Hopefully he figures it out and moves on as Rutgers basketball has.

He was a Jersey kid who stayed home. Will always appreciative that. Seen enough kids leave the state over the years.

Paul made faux pas when he tweeted computer generated image of himself in Washington jersey wearing the number four.

However, Paul never appeared on the team 2023-2024 roster or in a UW press release, unlike four other transfers. The roster shows another player wearing number four.

Lots of red flags for Paul which I posted to TKR a few weeks ago.

He's on the roster now.

Just because you'd be a piece of shit and abandon the coach that made you into something and stuck by you when you struggled in the 11th hour (making a decision that could've easily been made when the xfer portal was still open) doesn't mean the rest of us would.

You people just don't get it. Let Paul rot.

Wait. Are you saying that as a 22 year old who has his degree you would not have taken a $400,000 dollar pay day? I absolutely would have but, I would also understand why my former team would not be thrilled to take me back when it fell through

Very true. How many of us were the same people at 22 that we were 22 years later? Overall mental development can take some time and for sure it does not finish at 22. What one can say is that mistakes can and will be made at 22 and the smart folks will learn and develop positively from those mistakes so that they are much smarter 22 years later.

At 22, I might have switched schools for a sub sandwich.

Thanks - I was wondering what was going on with him.
