The transfer portal is cool and all.

Actually it’s not. . The only thing I do like is that if you’re in a bad spot or coming off an abysmal year you can just reload and get back in contention in no time. No more true rebuilds. . One thing I hate about it is that the high profile portal guys seem to steal the thunder and overshadow the big time high school prospects . To me there’s something special about a kid fresh outta high school that chooses your school (albeit it’s heavily weighted on financial reasons now ) and comes in a contributes.
I for one am really excited about the stud defensive lineman we have coming in from HS and eager to see how much they’ll contribute in their first year. I have watched a ton of high school football over the last few years and I have seen some five star kids play live and thought to myself “this kid is not ready to play sec football “ and then I’ve seen some and thought “this kid could dominate in sec football tomorrow “. I’m not gonna name the ones I don’t think are ready bc I don’t wanna throw shade (although I kinda did. In a previous thread a couple week ago ) but I will say one kid that I watched a ton of live and think he’s ready to go to war right now is Richard Anderson from Edna Karr. I watched that kid single-handedly bitch slap the entire ASH o -line (a great o line that year ) and just take a game over defensively in what led to an arse kicking in the dome that my sons prob still have nightmares about.
I know dear Facebook or tldr but man I’m so excited for this season I can hardly stand it. Idk what to expect but I anticipate great things are ahead in the near future for this football program we all love. Good morning gents and Geaux Tigers

It's killed the soul of college athletics.

Yeah I agree. Was being a bit sarcastic. Moreso advocating for how special it is (to me at least ) when a high school kid comes in and kicks arse vs the one year mercenaries that have bounced around all over the place. The bad def outweighs the good. But if you have a ton of resources like LSU we should benefit from it a great deal. I miss the old days too brother but it’s not coming back so your options are really just hang up watching or do your best to accept it for what it is and move on. Or just keep watching and bitch about it nonstop which option C has been a popular choice on this cesspool of a forum.

You need some paragraph breaks, would be much easier to read

No it’s not. It’s helping ruin college sports.

The issue killing it is the aforementioned player may choose to hit the market after one year.

I think you missed the point of the post fella. I’m not advocating for the transfer portal. Try to read something other than the title next time

Yeah true. I really hope not. That kid is an absolute monster in the trenches. I could see him possibly starting as a true freshman.

To be fair, the NCAA, and the college presidents who oversee it, killed college athletics.
For years they stuck their collective heads in the sand, ignoring the ongoing challenge to restrictive rules regarding players. The rules were so restrictive that it was a violation for a kid to accept a free meal and other such trivial rules.
Had NCAA gotten out front of the "name, image and likeness" crap, they could have formulated sensible regulations that an athlete could receive compensation for doing autograph signings, apparel sales, and personal appearance. Instead their inaction lead to the "collectives".
There are others areas where they dropped the ball as well. This was the long standing, greedy, high minded "integrity" argument and blind spot of the NCAA. Much of this rests at the feet of Mark Emmert who apparently just sat on his hands or on the toilet seat.

It’s 7am on a Monday and you typed out a novel. I ain’t got time for that. There’s also a lot of retards on here that have no problem with the way the sport is going. Just figured you were one of em.
Sorry I missed your sunrise sarcasm.

Disagree. Every year is a rebuild now. It’s a quicker rebuild, but it’s also more temporary, because you’re constantly replacing 1 year mercenaries.

All good. Have a good day

I guess I meant no more true rebuilds like it used to be.

Facts. They opened Pandora’s box with no vision of what was about to transpire. They should have had a ton of rules in place before they just let it be a free for all. Now it’s too late.

Not only did you have time and read it, you took time to respond to it.
