Pretty crazy that a kid like Josiah Stewart could have ended up at a school like Coastal Carolina

 

[nako xl]

He’s got that James Harrison/Elvis Dumervel game.

I mean if our companies weren’t paying us things they originally offered would any of us keep working? I’d bounce too

 

[tupac003]

People on social media are stupid. If they aren't giving him the money they promised he would be stupid not to leave...

UNLV starting QB Matthew Sluka to sit out rest of 2024 season after 'certain representations' were 'not upheld after I enrolled'

Matthew Sluka transferred to UNLV ahead of the 2024 season after four years at Holy Cross.

Man said pay what y’all owe. Kinda crazy to just dip after 3 games.

I wouldn’t want to play for a coaching staff that lied to me either lol

They really let Gabriel go for Arnold? Or was Gabriel going to leave anyway

I absolutely agree with you. People are lying if they said they'd keep showing up to work for a lower salary than was negotiated when they signed. That said:

1. He's only completing 43% of his passes lol (for 6 TDs and 1 INT)

2. I know the town that kid is from and the HS he attended. I'm not pocket watching and don't know he and his family's specific circumstances, but it's a very affluent town and school.

 

[NickFolarin]

See this is what I’ve been hearing has been tossed around. That he has gotten other offers from other schools to transfer and that he’s been fielding the offers.

It may not mean much, but his high school coach is the current coach at JMU.

I’m not pocket watching either but him being from an affluent neighborhood has nothing to do with it. He knows he’s not a pro QB so he wants as much as possible. Wealthy/affluent people are the last folk who will take a discount. They want it all

I think I didn't word it correctly, but I agree.

For what it's worth, he did a prep year at The Peddie School to try to get recruited by a big D1/P5 football team (I think he had D1 lax offers) and it didn't work out. So his goal has also always been to be in a bigger spotlight and as a grad transfer from Holy Cross this year, someone probably got in his ear and pointed out he only has 1 more year of eligibility. Not just NIL, but he lowkey may have used UNLV as another opportunity to showcase himself and audition for power conferences.

Yeah. Definitely sounds plausible. They probably were successful earlier than he thought so, he’s like, let me go ahead and leverage these 3 games

Did not realize these were his numbers

 

[atlsfinest]

Be fair, He's more of a running quarterback, he's averaging around 80 yards per game so far.





Promising me $100K and only giving me $3K is just nasty. I would bounce too. That being said, I genuinely miss the era where players were getting paid under the table and we just didn't know how the sausage was made.

Everything I’ve read and from what they were saying on the radio is he’s had this agent prior to UNLV.

Pete Thamel just explained everything. Everybody coming for the kid is just wrong
