Transfers from Alabama?

Why stop there? Kirk should get on the horn with WRs from Oregon and USC asap.

I mean, as a playmaker who wouldn't want to join our national laughing stock of an offense with possibly the worst WR NFL placement in power 5 conference history?
Someone has to be intrigued with the idea of being a part of the turnaround, right? Right?

That being said, perhaps we shouldn't have been sucking our own dicks before the portal had officially opened and maybe now we shouldn't be slitting our wrists on day 2 of the portal. It's a thought.

I wish I had the kind of money it will apparently take to buy a championship program at the P5 level. Sadly I'm just a fan/alum that suffers like everyone else.
You shut your mouth when you’re talking to me, noob!

Don't tell us what to do, Orestes

Charleston Southern WR looks good to me. The Harvard kid looks like a special teamer/depth provider.

For some reason I thought you could only use the portal once and get the immediate playing time. After that, normal transfer rules apply.

Must have had bad info, like Mouse has had a lot of recently.

They granted a blanket immediate eligibility for your first transfer, but you can still appeal for future transfers. And I think the grad school immediate rule remains.

There ia no reason the NCAA should grant any if those appeals (grad transfer not being an appeal).

You made your bed. You got to transfer once, play immediately, and basically signed or will sign a contract.

Fuck off if you want to do it again. Sit and wait.

I think they made their choice and should be able to sign deals at the school they are currently at. This open market bidding is totes lame.

Finding decent to good WRs is literally the easiest position to do so. It’s like finding a good RB in 1985. They’re everywhere.

I keep waiting for this to check the market some. Imagine putting up 100k or more of your own money for a kid and the coach doesn't play him. Or the guy you pay for sucks. Or he leaves after one year. Or the coach still fucks everything up.

It's all fun right now because it feels like a video game, but reality is going to check this a little bit in the near future.
The NFL has hours of game footage of prospects, Wunderlich scores, Pro Day results, the Combine, interviews, and comprehensive medical exams and still manage to fuck up at least half of their draft picks in a given year. College coaches have even worse track records when it comes to talent evaluation. Trying to project not just future success but stardom for a high school kid is stupid.

Throwing money at anyone other than 5-star level recruits is a horrible investment.

The 5-star guys were and will continue to attend the same 10-15 schools with or without NIL. What concerns me is that schools like Iowa that recruit and develop undervalued guys are going to get poached once Iowa develops the players.

We just got two five-star players in back-to-back years that we wouldnt have gotten without NIL.

It's the 3-star players that blow up that other schools are going to throw cash at.

Decent punt returner has done nothing (less than Bruce) as a receiver to date.

He didn’t play scat back at Ankeny, so that’s a plus.
