This argument makes little sense to me. Sure you have a portal, but what kind of athletes are entering these portals? They're 2nd teir from what ever team they're on 2nd string guys looking for more playing time, or they're coming from a 2/3 tier conference. Sure they find playing time elsewhere, but those players are STILL second teir to the ones they were playing behind, and when you match them up the result is still the same.

Alabama's best offensive lineman, starting running back and starting receiver are all transfers, Eli Ricks was a freshman All-American and transferred away from LSU. Caleb Williams is a Heisman candidate and Jordan Addison might win the Biletnikoff, both transfers. Hendon Hooker was a transfer, as was Jaxson Dart. Those are all elite players.

4,000 plus kids enter the transfer portal each year. Over half remain unsigned, or stay where they were. You listed 5 kids... and with the exception of Addison, all were under new coaching regimes.

My point still stands. The overwhelming majority of the kids in the portal are 2nd tier kids on 2nd tier teams.

And Eli Ricks... dude chased money and fame, but found neither. He can kick rocks.
