re: NIL and the transfer portal have ruined the excitement of recruiting for good!

I’ve been following recruiting since 1995

I still get the same excitement for a 5 star commit as I did when I was a kid and Jerrell Powe announced LSU at the Army AA Bowl

You must have started following recruiting as an infant.
Powe was class of ‘06.
Flipped to Ole Miss, didn’t grade, ended up back in school, then back to Ole Miss. Did well his last year and made the League.

Then recently….




I remember when LSU got Faulk. That was the biggest recruit ever at the time. I was probably 12 or so.

I probably didn’t get hooked on recruiting until 99 or so. Bradie James comes to mind. West Monroe was so good back then and James was a beast.
