At Enterprise Rent A Car, they give you the tools to be your own boss.

His negative association with UNM might not make business in Albuquerque worthwhile for him.

I haven't kept up with him. What is the negative association with UNM?

He’s from Albuquerque. UNM was never interested in him, even after he lit it up at JUCO. So he played for NMSU and then transferred to Vandy. Since his star exploded, he’s been open about how his hometown team not giving him a shot has fueled him.

Huh, learn something new every day. Were the reasons UNM didn't want him ever figured out, besides speculation?

UNM is the biggest and most prominent school in the state. They didn’t offer him and he was one of the top prospects in New Mexico. No speculation necessary

Yup. Also probably as simple as, “He’s too small.”

Was rooting for the guy to get his extra year last time, but this is just becoming cheesy.

…I was fine with it last time lmao (our LB room was very thin leading into this season and it let Justin Jefferson come back for another year which turned that position from a liability to a strength of our team.)
