2025 Transfer Portal News & Updates

The guy who lost his job? FFS, do better. Meanwhile Oregon just took a 2nd team all conference player from Northwestern and a 3rd team All-American from Purdue.

Oh, and you know who Louisville's last QB was? Yeah, the dude who sucked at Oregon and got replaced.

Last year Oregon State lost *good* starters to Texas, Florida State, USC, Miami.

WSU is losing their stud QB for the 2nd year in a row. Just stop. If you're gonna die on this dumbass hill, just do it already.
 
We definitely need at least 1 transfer for that Cokes SDE/ pass rush DT role.

Nwankwo replacement(s) who command a double team on the interior would be the top priority, but this is also a major need.
Not sure if any of you follow @buffedinprime (t-cal)? He’s a little polarizing but a pretty good talent evaluator on twitter. He’s all in for Coastal Carolina d end Clev Lubin. He’s def someone i wish we’d look at.

I mean if you have watched CFB the last two years and think there isn’t more parity, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s blatantly obvious. Yes, some guys are going to jump up. But blue bloods are not hoarding talented guys as backups anymore.

@The Alabaster Yak and I are not the ones dying on a dumb hill here

FSU lost their 5* QB from the 2024 cycle to Mississippi State today.

Alabama is losing a plethora of players through the portal

Ohio State lost their 5* QB from the 2024 cycle

Of course the top programs are also signing new talent, but we are seeing talent being spread out among the top half of P4 more than we have in multiple decades.

Yep - not what I expected to happen, but schools that could not or would not do things under the table are now more comfortable participating in paying players

Above the table NIL is a big part of it for sure, but unlimited transfers and a expanded playoff also play big roles. The blue bloods simply can't hoard all the top HS recruits and keep them on their roster as depth for 4-5 years after they recruit over the ones who don't pan out. Saban wanted no part of a college football era where he couldn't do that.
 
I don't have a strong opinion either way, but I lean toward the way Coach Prime is handling this. I think the better message to the locker room is that playing time is for players who are committed to the team.
It's a nice carrot to hold in front of guys at a minimum. I think he'd be taking a different approach if we were in the playoffs though.

I don't think of HCDS as a hypocrite. wondering if he learned something from his experience letting Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter play at JSU's bowl two years ago to change his stance.

When you're talking about an exhibition bowl game, it's easier to make this choice. When you're in the playoffs, it's much harder to say that we'll get by without some very important, even if non-starting, contributors. I think both coaches might have done things differently if the roles were reversed.

💯

If I'm a Bama fan reading that, my reaction is:

1. He's not worth that much.
2. We should never guarantee a starting spot.
3. Opportunity to play both ways would have to be earned.
--------
4. Goodbye and good luck.

Definitely seems targeted to spin fan opinion away from being pissed at the program for losing him to the portal.
Nobody in the coaching profession believes that anyone is guaranteeing a starting position to any player. It's not necessary and it's just bad karma.

You lay out what the depth chart is, what your plans are to enhance the depth chart, and you assure the player that he will have every opportunity to be the guy.
Because, the players always believe they are the best and will get to the league.
Recruit players who believe they will get to the league and assure them they have everything here to make that happen.
There is no need to guarantee a starting spot to anyone, including JuJu. It ****s everything up.

Think about it like someone giving notice at work, how committed are they during those last two weeks? You don’t want someone who’s not fully invested in the program out on the field. Especially when you could give other players valuable game experience.
 
Yeah. I saw Dillingham talk about this. His position is that guys need to do what is best for them. And he recognizes that waiting until after the season could hurt players. He said his guys would be treated no differently as long as they show up for meetings, workouts, etc.
This is a novel concept in my world. I never do what’s best for me.
