  Good for him I guess, we’ve reloaded at corner. At least he didn’t end up at TDS

  Joining two incoming Frosh CBs, one 5 star & a 4 star out of Mater Dei.
  
  But he got his bag.

  Sad state of NIL- portal era. He would have sat the bench last year at Alabama and not gotten any game reps then transfer. He gets valuable game reps at Utah and transfers. It just goes to show players want $$$. Culture, playing time and buying all in are just words on the team bulletin board. As Tom Cruise would say “ show me the money”.

    Pretty sure Alabama had a bad secondary this past season.

    I think a solution to this is to create a window during which NIL deals can be made / signed, and to make that window happen before the transfer portal opens.
    
    While I’m sure there will still be some under the table deals happening, I would bet a lot of teams would be hesitant to throw money at a player if they aren’t sure that player will come (and / or is a player that technically they aren’t supposed to be recruiting).

      The only solution will be to treat the kids like the professionals they want to be treated as and make them sign contracts.

        There are probably some guys that want that. However, I’d also bet that there are guys that are fine with perpetual free agency. The vast majority of the P4 football players, at this point, are surely not “in the game” for the education.

        Perpetual free agency is absolutely exhausting for the coaching staff. I’d much rather they focus on, you know, coaching rather than spending more of their time recruiting and then re-recruiting the same players they’ve got. If perpetual free agency becomes reality, coaching staffs will need to increase to offset the added time and attention that’ll require.
