His coach who recruited him just left for LSU. I don't know if that means he's open or an LSU lock, but this is definitely the type of player I'd love to add to our prep class.

LSU obviously would make sense but I'm seeing some on3 and 247 employees predicting him to Florida, but I'd love if we went after him again too.
Probably nothing.

Seaton isn't leaving because Proctor comes on board.
Proctor struggled mightily at times this year and needs to slim down if he really wants to play LT.

Short Memory?
He's more of a RT to me

WTF?
CU lock!
I wish, word is he's going back home
Sounds like Ethan Barr is transferring to UCF. I was hoping CU would make a run at him.
Seeing AL, Wa, and AZ get raided, will schools try to make it harder for a coach to leave? It used to be the impact was just the coaching turnover. Now, it’s the whole roster.
I guess we’ll have to see if these teams successfully back fill with new transfers.

The best coaches are still in the driver’s seat when it comes to negotiations. Plus, Jimmy Sexton owns every AD, so the only thing schools can do is hire someone like Karl Dorrell and accept bad results OR do a better job of hiring/retaining people.
Man, this is going to be ugly. In a year or two the top 15-18 schools with money are going to have rosters that are deep and talented, and everyone else is going to be G5 talent level at best.
Too much money spread around and not enough spots. The most invested 35-40 teams will all be competitive with one another.
Pretty much this. The top 40 NIL teams are serious. Everyone else is playing away games

Michigan is next
It really is sad...NCAA needs to manage this.
I would love a salary cap of sorts. Each team has a budget and collective share of NIL. Players can still earn a percentage but a majority of the NIL is redistributed amongst the team. And back to restrictions on transferring. Etc...
Maybe it will be 40 teams. The point is CFB as we knew it will be dead.
Saw some posts today from CFB media speculating that the spring portal is going to especially active with a ton of entrants. Collectives across the country apparently did some major fundraising since December to address the needs that are now known at every school. Then the late coaching changes with more probably coming.
CF, as it is structured (to the extent there are any rules), is just not sustainable in the modern era of money. It’s ridiculous to have 130-ish schools all “competing,” essentially, at the same “level.” No one really cares about conference championships. The bowl system has become meaningless. The playoffs will be all about which teams have the biggest NIL war chests.
It already feels a bit like games have less and less to do with schools and players and coaches and more to do with watching money moving around. The NC trophy will soon simply be handed to the guy who brought in all the money, after watching a nearly pre-determined show/athletic drama put on throughout the year. Sort of ironic to have a professional wrestling connection this week.

WTF?
You are a few years behind and have some catching up to do.
Sort of.
The lack of a salary cap in major sports has never led to the highest paying team consistently winning it all. Team sports require something in addition to serious spending to make it work.
That being the case, in general you're not wrong.
Absent the collapse of football as a major sport, I'm honestly struggling to see an acceptable way out of where we are.
College sports are a commercialization of nostalgia and competitive sports.
There's obviously a ****load of money in that. Much more money than would be involved with a minor league and actual "amateur" college sport.

NCAA spent so much time fighting NIL that they had absolutely no plan in place when it got approved.
Like a few powerful white boomers, they never conceived of a world where they didn't get their way.
Good!
Huge concentration of wealth means that folks have a lot of money to burn. Even people with limited, but plentiful, means are spending money on their favorite team.
So trickle down economics is finally working?
Hell man, it already is.
