[CajunCrimson]

Iowa's Kadyn Proctor expected to re-enter transfer portal, return to Alabama for 2024 college football season

Proctor transferred back home to Iowa in January after Nick Saban retired

Is this our first boomerang "recruit" in the NIL age?

Everyone from Auburn thought you typed Boogerang.

I would not rather have him back unless he lose weight and get quicker. His feet moved like he was walking in mud. This may not matter as much if the ball is coming out quicker.

Needs to move to guard. He would be a road grater there

 

[Ledsteplin]

Will he fit in DeBoer's trimmer quicker OL?

Dude commits to Iowa.
Then flips too Bama.
Then after a year transfers to Iowa.
Doesn't even make it through spring and he's transferring back to Bama.

This stuff's just ridiculous....

From the outside looking in, it’s kinda funny just how much ammunition/justification this guy has given the Iowa fanbase to completely hate him with every bone in their cornfed bodies….Was an in-state kid that was the highest ranked OT in his class that not only decommited from Iowa on signing day to sign with Bama….BUT he then proceeds to transfer back to Iowa, for roughly 8 weeks, only to transfer right back to Bama. AND he will be eligible to play immediately. Lord bless how this fanbase would react if that scenario played out on us. That said, I would fully support building a statue in honor of this kid had he pulled the exact same move, but replace Iowa with auburn….

That's why they said expected to re-enter The portal isn't open till spring.

He could but this sounds like he is specifically transferring to come back to Bama. He apparently spent spring break with another Bama player who he is close with. I forgot who but I'll go look at another site

He probably got to Iowa and realized how much better he had it at BAMA. Hope he comes back home.

I believe so, and I hope it's true, but I'll truly believe it once he's back in Crimson.

Caleb Downs, mayybe Julian Sayins. make the move

I don't see it. But who knows anything anymore. They both went to a real program though. I assume Iowa's facilities and such don't measure up at all


Also, I've moved on from Sayin. I rather have Juju Lewis

 

[Bamabuzzard]

If Downs transfers back the rapture will take place soon there after, because the end is near. Bazarro world is here!

My question to Proctor is why did you leave in the first place. Whomever was projected to start in that spot has to be a little irritated by it as well

There is an "projected to start" list. If any list exist it is in the minds of the players but with this new staff they haven't seen the players in action enough to already have that type of list.

The collapse of "amateurism", from sanctions for selling textbooks, to exiting the program to raid another's NIL and returning, is breathtaking.

It's amazing (in a bad way) to watch!

If Proctor did come back, wouldn’t that count as a second transfer where sitting out a year would be in effect? As far as I know, you’re only immediately eligible after the first transfer. Does the fact that he wouldn’t have actually appeared as a player there waive that?

I had no qualms with him heading back home, but this seems like a red flag. I’m of the non-bitter feeling some others have expressed. If you did leave, Best Wishes and Vaya Con Dios. I’d rather focus of the players who didn’t leave in the first place.

I think because there was a HC change, that the first one didn't count.

I was wondering about this. That would make some sense.

Yeah it’s pretty crazy how you could lose the same kid twice….to the same school lol.

None of them count nowadays anyway. Seriously when was the last time a high-profile player had to sit a year after transferring?

This may actually be what reforms NIL. Players who take NIL money take it on their own NIL not on the school's name/image (meaning it can't be "you'll get your NIL money so long as you stay and play at XYZ school") so if the player transfers, the funds follow him.

So ripe for corruption / abuse.
Of course, NCAA being NCAA, they'll find ways to make it worse by a) not doing anything because... scary lawyers and/or b) overkill on draconian layers of rules

 

[4Q Basket Case]

It's fun when it's us raiding other programs. It wasn't so fun when they were raiding us. Since then, the NCAA has abandoned all pretense of governing pay-for-play, and this kind of thing is the easily foreseeable result.

Don't know if Proctor will stick or return yet again to Iowa. Don't know if the other rumors will come true. Regardless, this is the kind of stuff that leads to lawsuits -- not between schools, but between collectives and players.

You want to be a big boy and make big-boy money? Welcome to the real big-boy world where you are responsible for the consequences of your actions.

This could get interesting....buy some popcorn.

NIL cannot be tied to the school in any way, so this doesn’t work.

Probably after workouts and some time at the training table.
