re: Former Bama WR Isaiah Bond commits to Texas

The people that look at a car he got and thinks, "YEP. Money", are completely missing the actual reasoning. Sure money is a reason, but here is the breakdown on the business decision.
1. Saban isn't at Bama anymore.
2. Jalen Milroe is still the QB and will be learning a new pass happy offense
3. Who's to say Milroe will be the starting QB? Should he play with a brand new QB?
4. Texas is losing their TOP 4 pass catchers to the draft. Every starting WR and the starting TE is gone.
5. Ewers is a 3rd year starter, in the same system, without a star WR to throw to.
This is a "business decision", because it makes perfect sense all around for his future. Another guy who was getting almost nothing playing for UGA but a few playoff TDs, went to Texas for one season and is already considered a first round lock. Adonai Mitchell went from 560 yards and 7 TDs in 20 games at UGA, to 845 yards and 11 TDs in 14 games at Texas.

Bond is a good player don’t get me wrong, but what warrants a 5 star transfer ranking?
The only thing giving him a 5* transfer ranking is the former A next to his name. 50 receptions and 6-700 yards? This warrants a 5* transfer ranking?

Schools like Texas and a&m only getting recruits because of money. Sad what it’s become
Players like bond are portaling to Texas for nil and sark's offense.
Look what he did with worthy and ad mitchell.
People act like offensive players are just going to Texas for nil. Sark will get receivers into the league.

Maybe it was Alabama’s passing game, the last 2 years, but Bond never really seemed impressive to me.
