The portal thing irks me but Bama can also be the beneficiary of the portal too.

I saw an article that talked about how the Bama transfers fared this year. Isiah Bonds and Caleb Downs had good years and are in the playoffs. The other dozen or so had “meh” seasons and some didn’t do well at all.

I do think there needs to be some guardrails. That’s why don’t give a hoot about recruiting. 50% + of the signing class will not be there 3 years. Some not after 2.

I saw another article or heard it someplace that former Auburn QB TJ Findley is transferring to another team with 1 more year of eligibility. Guys, he was in the Bryce Young recruiting class. That’s messed up. Get on with life man.

FWIW, Finley claims he has two years left to play. Maybe math isn’t his strong suit.


He does have two years of eligibility remaining

I had much rather be tried by twelve than carried to my grave by six!!!!
