Bama players’ discontent is growing, they all want to be paid more.

Either that or they were told to hit the road

I don't Anderson has been used properly yet. I do think giving him the ball in space will create good plays. I would not count him out of being a productive player just yet

I'd take a chance on the center. He'll be after blood. The snapping issues proabaly result from an inability to understand Milroe's lisp



He was dominant. Snap issues are fixable, most probably a mental thing, over thinking and changing something to compensate for the low snaps. He is a very good run blocker.

These are the players you want! The players that are good enough to demand a raise but not valuable enough to their team to get it.

Apply this to Zalance Heard. Great player, enormous upside but doesn’t play a position of immediate need for LSU. LSU might choose to spend money on positions of immediate need instead of burning it on a really good backup. Heard could name his price at most any other competitive program.

This is how the portal should work. Optimize earnings and opportunities. LSU needs to fight like hell to keep Heard but also look to other rosters for guys who fit that mold.

Do you think think that of all portal players? Their scraps would be starters at LSU.

So they've decided they don't want to compete. That's not different than what I said.

I heard Also Sprach Zarathustra playing in the background when I read this post.

The backups get backup money. They want starter money and want to start and don’t want to wait for it at Bama.

I think this of players leaving the programs that are at or above the level we're at.

How much success are guys leaving Bama and Georgia having elsewhere? We have transfers on the roster from Bama, Georgia, and Ohio State. The ones from Ohio State can't stay healthy, the one from Bama can't field a punt or catch a pass, the one from Georgia is possibly the worst starting safety we've ever had.

Exclude QBs, because that position group is in its own world.

If guys are leaving a program that is in contention for the top team achievement every single year, there is some flaw that they have that will render them useless here.

We got a transfer from Clemson when they were a top program, he was garbage.

11 Players don't just enter the portal at one time. Something is up!

Saban is gone!

Their season is over and the portal closes soon for them. This isn't some conspiracy.
