Transfer Portal 2023-24, v2

You think it is just the youth? Or is it most of America, regardless of age?

I will admit that I spend way too much time staring at screens...mostly for work...but I waste a lot of downtime on them too.

The "idiot box" used to be relegated to the living room...now we carry it around with us in our pocket.

But I can also leave my house without it (and do that on purpose a lot of the time) and I can survive without it for long periods of time.

Then again, I will also do the unthinkable and read a book from time to time.

FIFY

Yeah, especially since the youth of America can't seem to make it a minute or two these days without a phone in their ear.

A book? What's that?

Interesting - I'm still more worried about the CB spots than S due to depth, but this guy looks like a good player.

That and O Line. An injury breakout at either of those positions and we're in trouble.

Seemed to happen after the king mack visit was announced. Not sure if thats connected. They really can't let the wake Forrest cb leave town without a commitment.

Good to see. He is a top 100 player in the 2023 class. Would have several years left to play.

His speed is impressive.

Penn State safety King Mack expected to visit Alabama this weekend

King Mack played in all 13 games for Penn State in 2023.

So many layers of crazy going on

So many layers of crazy going on

I can no longer keep up.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

I can no longer keep up.

I don't even try.

I stopped following regular HS recruiting years ago because I just couldn't take all the theatrics anymore and the last second flips after stringing a school along for months or years.

Now guys that are already on campus for months or years can just bolt at seemingly anytime with no deterrents.

All of it is just straight about sacks of $100 bills with no attempt at hiding any of it.

I hate all of this and what the Portal and NIL has done to CFB.

Wow, this would be a huge pickup if we can get him.

 

[TheRealPokeChop]

Just to clarify.
This weekend visitors

Jones - cb from wake Forrest
Jacobs - lb from USA
Mack - safety from PSU

Mack decided to visit, Hamilton seemed to cancel his.

Thats where its sits for now this weekend.

I think solution is APR tightening and making it tougher for them graduate on flimsy majors
put the college back in "college athletics"

We’re not going to see many graduations in the future…classes don’t all transfer to new schools…3 year max for top players…looking a bit like CBB w/the one and dones…

What is a "book"...?

EDIT: Krymsonman beat me to it.

As far as I know, the APR requirement is still in effect...

The real solution should be SACS but they are a sad joke. NC proved that there is no intrinsic value to a college degree.

SACS has even less authority than the NZAA. They couldn't touch awbern because the barn lawyered up...
