🏈 Is Davis Shaw mad about Bryce? Seven figures: "That's fair market value? I don't think that's fair market value. That's Alabama value."

He needs to throw those sour grapes in the prune bin and move on , hater. If it was his player with those numbers he would be up in arms .

Wait till a larger than life recruit ( Julio Jones , Johnny football ) hits the market. It’s gonna be like ringing up a slot machine with them numbers rolling.

Move my house to the right location and it would be worth about 2-3 times as much. The expected starter at Alabama is worth more than the expected starter at Ole Miss. That is how fair market value works, it is based on all factors.

When was the last time David and his team anybody that was somebody? I bet that guy squats to pizz.

That’s ALABAMA football

If you read his whole statement it wasn’t as quite as bad as this sound bite. He was actually giving Saban credit - something like he’s smarter than any 10 people in the room and he purposefully said that to help with recruiting at Alabama since Young hasn’t taken a meaningful snap at Alabama. He said that basically when a recruit comes on the market judging value is going to be difficult and Young is banking the bucks because it’s Alabama. Value is inherent where the winning team prevails.

I didn't gather sour grapes at all from him.

This admission or observation should be put on all recruiting marketing material though.

People thought we had a competitive advantage, the NIL just made us the official minor league team for the NFL.

I saw no issue with how Shaw spoke about this. He was simply asking what will this look like long term and in a free market the business will adjust based on the value to the business. In the real world if a business does not get the ROI required to justify the expense they will not keep spending that much. If they do they will go out of business. Basic business and common sense is how I read Shaws comments.

I don't either. In fact, Saban should send Shaw a gift basket for helping him recruit.

I didn't have an issue with what he said, even if he did mean it as a swipe. I will add this though...

 

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

I'm sure that annual salary scale does NOT factor cost of living adjustments for California Stanford graduates staying in CA compared to the rest that stay in their graduating state. Because you better have a higher salary there, otherwise you'll be eating catfood every other day.

Dang, Barn grads start out $15k a year higher than Bama grads on average. But listing the Barn on their resume…

"stanford VARSITY alumini athletes are the most sought after employees across all sectors of the economy in every corner of the country"

Lol. I doubt that very very much...
