Transfer Portal 2023-2024...

[some_al_fan]

It doesn't sound like there's any rules against it. No doubt the player would sue, but somebody's gotta teach these kids personal responsibility. All decisions have potential consequences.

I think confusion comes from defining what “announcement” means
Official definition is
----------
Athletes who have decided to transfer don't actually put their own name into the portal. They have to submit a notification of transfer to a compliance administrator at their current school, who then has two business days to enter the information into the portal.
_-------------

So, players don't really enter transfer portal by themselves. They notify school admins, who enter them. And that notification, aka announcement ,is what allows school to pull scholarship.

Social media posts, interviews to journalists, etc. are not really announcements of the transfer.

I don't know much about him. But Georgia does bring in top OL. If he played in 12 games in 2023, I would think he's pretty good.

No idea, but we are pretty thin along the OL so I really hope he's getting a good look from the staff....

He did play in 12 games in 2023.

Kinda makes one wonder the chain of events that leads up to an athlete announcing his departure before eligibility to actually transfer.

Is it incoming tampering?

Is the athlete inviting solicitation/tampering?

This whole "SYSTEM?" is jacked above the clouds! I want to stay interested and active in CFB games and discussion but it's becoming less of a priority now. Really sad what our game has become.

Let me quote Coach Saban...
'It is what it is'. Kind of applies to todays football.

I wonder how long it will be before someone challenges the NCAA in court about The Portal. Since plyers have been talked to before the portal and it resulted in them taking the money and running, who is to say that's still a NO NO?
The NCAA is hoping the challenge will not involve the SEC or Big10, cause they really don't want to see the house of cards fold when the PARTNERS decide to go their own way. The NCAA is kind of walking on eggs right now. It's going to be interesting to see how this shakes out.

Iowa OT Kadyn Proctor is expected to re-enter the transfer portal and return to Alabama, per @DavidEickholt

 

[JDCrimson]

Interesting, I didn't think the portal was open now.

I hate this thread.

this thread will live longer than the Bama Hats thread.

Apparently he will do it when the spring window opens

Great news! Dude was learning on the job last year and improved as the year went along. It's extremely difficult to come in as a freshman at LT. This is huge! He'll be one of our most improved players in 2024. Book it!

This is not something you see every day. DeBoer is the man!

 

[davefrat]

I’m not going to complain about him coming back because he could be a really good player, but man have things gotten nuts in a hurry.

The portal giveth, and the portal taketh away. Welcome home Kadyn.

 

[some_al_fan]

Kadyn is not in the portal. He told On3 that he plans to enter after April 15

 

[davefrat]

Kadyn is not in the portal. He told On3 that he plans to enter after April 15

He could name 12 more schools by then.

Kadyn is not in the portal. He told On3 that he plans to enter after April 15

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

He could name 12 more schools by then.

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
