Except that Bama will make efforts to replace so they aren’t caught off guard so the window may not be more than 24-48 hours.

I actually think Mack would be an excellent starter at Bama. He knows DeBoer’s offense and throws a good ball.
I know Indiana is having its day in the sun right now. But I dont believe they are going to all of sudden start outperforming OSU, UM, and Penn State perennially in the B10. I would have to see it to believe it. While he may be a good talent evaluator he appears to have the personality of a mall cop.
I think over time some of the NIL boosters will get bored as rich people do with things, certainly if there is no tax benefit for the payments. Its one thing to give kids $10k or $180k (see what i did there) but it's a whole other commitment to sponsor a player for a $1M+ each year with no realistic return on that investment.
Now are the players assigning a certain amount of future earnings to command this level of NIL? That's the only way I see a justification for taking this kind of investment risk.

I watched less than 3 minutes......NC State's OL blocked better than ours.
Every other team's OL blocked better than ours.
Until we fix the OL issue I just don't think the RB is going to matter.
Certainly a slap in the face to Paul Blarth and mall cops everywhere.
I wish him luck. I don't know what OL position he would get drafted for, though. Maybe the O-Line coach misused him horribly and I didn't see it.
Very big addition. Reminds me a bit of Gibbs. This of course doesn't fix all the problems, OL needs to be addressed and the approach to running game needs to be addressed. But, still a very positive sign, I don't think you land Smothers without some assurances you can use him appropriately.
Despite what everyone is saying about portal additions... I really like what the coaching staff are doing so far. It lets me know they are working hard to address the OL and RB room and it's a priority for them to handle that. It also let me know they saw same thing we saw this season and I'm confident they will add the right pieces on OL. Whatever worries I had about the OL and RB, I feel lot better now than I did yesterday. Just gotta be patient and let everything play out.
I hope i don't get tired of the announcers saying "Smothers takes the handoff. Oh, he gets smothered in the backfield! 5 yard loss!"
It has been Hollywood since like middle school I remember hearing about him when he was at Chambers High school in Charlotte. It was like a Hollywood show during his high school career. He should fit in well with new Nil. He was transferring around back in high school and was ruled ineligible to play because of it his senior year.
Wake forest kid could be interesting. Bringing an edge would likely mean Pierre bolts and I think he's a guy we want to stick around.
