Can Micah opt back in?
- Thread starter Thus Spoke Mainer
- Start date
Don't know, but even if he could it's doubtful he'd want to risk injury at this point.
I saw somewhere where someone on some team was opting back in, it might depend on things like if they have hired representation yet or where they are along the "Getting ready for the draft" end of things.
But as others have mentioned, not sure how many who have opted out are going to change their mind at this point.

He's got absolutely ZERO reason to opt back in. The potential of playing 8+1+2 games is meaningless when there is a strong possibility that the season gets the wack halfway through. It just isn't worth it. I wouldn't put my multi-million dollar future in jeopardy considering all these unknowns.
He opted out before we found out the season was getting postponed. He's not opting back in.

Love that parsons is working to wrap up his degree
Gotta believe there is some agent paying all these costs for him to be training out in Cali.

Not sure he's enrolled, which would be a prerequisite
He's probably not eligible anymore. But you can have him cut a personal video for you for $30.

Believe I saw that a relative said he cannot opt back in.... meaning he has an agent, they didn't specifically say he had an agent but they did say opting back in was not an option for him. I have no idea since it's 2020 that if he petitioned the ncaa to opt back in because of the crazy situation if they would let him. But my thoughts are he opted out and thought it through and when he did choose there was no coming back he was out for good regardless of if there was going to be a season.
There's was talk on Sirius XM today about allowing players like Micah that signed with an agent to opt back in with an exemption.
Maybe to achieve something special with his teammates. Many NC teams have that happen because older players decide to stay.
Yes, I believe he was worried about getting COVID and bringing it home to his daughter.
I do... I wasn’t suggesting or believing it was anywhere close to being the sole reason though
Technically Parsons does have an appeal process to try to get reinstated. And with covid he has some leverage. Doesn't seem like he's interested though
Funny, I had a coworker say to me yesterday that he saw Micah out partying on 2nd street in Harrisburg... Not exactly Covid-friendly, if that's what he's trying to avoid ;-)

Isn’t he training in California? I realize he could come back regularly, but that doesn’t add up to me.
With a normal season, I might say that’s a strong reason. Not this year.
How would that be put in jeopardy vs not playing? Besides an injury but you can get an injury in any season... And we are playing less games.
Micah bailed on the team before the season was even officially suspended. Why would he come back now ? Micah is looking out for his own best interests.
They referenced Chase Young repaying his “borrowed” money as an example of what the players could do if they’ve received financial assistance from an agent.
I wanted to puke when they said Young repaid the family friend. Likely would have, but I was in my truck.

Parsons is not coming back, Lets hope Brandon Smith is the next AA Linebacker at PSU.
Parsons is not coming back. He signed with an agent and is training in LA for the NFL Draft. He made a business decision during a pandemic, a decision that many of us would also make given the circumstances. I hope he gets his degree and I wish him well in the NFL.
Pointing out that he has a child to consider makes no sense? Okay, sure. Not suggesting he is a good father, just that he has more than one consideration to concern himself with if he shreds a knee against rutgers. If you don't get that, then I'd just assume not discuss this anymore.
Um, are you suggesting his offspring did not impact his decision at all? How do you know that?
