Transfer Portal 2023-2024...

Still hoping we might get Washington’s Muhammad.

I would become a fan of the portal if we could vote SEC refs into the portal.

If you’re powerful enough to literally purchase a player for your school, it is out of the realm of possibility you can purchase the “performance” of one as well.

I’m powerful booster Daddy Warbucks of Whatsamatta U. Buying players left and right. But in the process I’ve met numerous players from rival program. And Whatsamatta is playing the biggest rival- NE Directional. Daddy Warbucks really hates NE and wants a win desperately. And also wants to make a few bucks on the side as well. And because of his prior relationship with a few NE players via the collective….well you get my drift.

Absurd? Probably but not out of the realm of possibility.

UMMM, I really don't have that kind of money.

He has two great neutralizers in BoB and Seth.

You don’t have to look any further than Jamyr Gibbs to realize what a dolt BOB was. I was wondering why he looks better running against NFL defenses than he did for us last year. I’m guessing it’s because his skills were squandered.

Edit: just noticed this has been covered pretty well in the Lions’ game thread.

Eh?

 

[Jack Bourbon]

Yeah, I’ve lost interest in all this. i dont think qb decision is rational, in terms of competition situation, based on what ive read

However, its kind of like losing an A-Rod…great player, but man a lot more resources just got freed up.

If managed by the schools it ends up being subject to Title IX. As long as it’s a booster run program it does not.

for years and years boosters have been the cause of programs getting into trouble with the NCAA.

He is closer to 5"11. There's a picture with Drew Brees who's almost 6 feet and Saying was about the same height

Brees is 5'-10"

Thing is I am not convinced the schools want this. I think they are happier with the boosters footing the bill and maintaining plausible deniability. That will continue until someone gets slapped with the LOIC for allowing the collective to run roughshod over the rules. Hopefully that day will come & we have maintained the high road so it’s not us that gets stung.

I’m confident unless things change, we don’t have to worry about rules violations concerning NIL….

And they've been the scapegoats, in some cases.

Expect Noah Carter to be next

 

[rolltd]

This is really good news, Look forward to watching this guy playing in crimson

 

[Ole Man Dan]

My grandad likes to tell this story about when he saw John Hannah and some other players try and park a VW beetle on the strip in a tight parallel spot, and Hannah picked up the front end and just slid the car into place.

In the day, big boys did things like that.
BTW: Big John was super strong...

Now they would have to consult with mommy and daddy and whoever their agent before doing anything resembling that.

 

[Krymsonman]

Brees is 5'-10"

Yeah, he played for the Saints down here for many years. 5',10" is about right. Anything saying he is taller is just program inflation.

 

[CrimsonTheory]

Personally…..I’d vote a big fat NO!!!

Of all the players Bama's lost in the transfer portal, Caleb Downs is the only one I would gladly take back.

Saw Big John in the grocery store yesterday...looks like he could still start and dominate today...

I'd like a favor, please: Some of you post links to Twitter, which those of use who don't use that app cannot see. Would you consider posting screen shots of those tweets? Thanks.

(For instance, what about Noah Carter? What about "Marvin"?)
