Not really. You see what’s happening right? We needs to start bringing guys in.

Not really, what? Were you meaning to reply to someone else?
ETA: It's not interesting that we may get a 2nd Team PAC DB? If we are losing Ricks and Earl Little, it maybe nice to have a DB with some experience coming in. We have a lot of young DBs coming in. Doesn't that mean we are trying to bring guys in? Hence my confusion.

So, from your list, I recognize these individuals:
How many of those announced after the retirement and how many would be transferring regardless?
ETA: I missed Little and Ricks.

QB – Tyler Buchner (Notre Dame)
quote:
RB – Roydell Williams (Florida State)
quote:
WR – Isaiah Bond (Texas)
quote:
WR – Ja’Corey Brooks (Louisville)

OL – Seth McLaughlin (Ohio State)

TE - Amari Niblack

You gonna miss these dudes??
I agree losing Niblack sucks. He is going to be a stud at tejas. Bond too. But the others??

Bond, Niblack, Little, Ricks, Murphy… and maybe Pope are the ones that sting the most (in my opinion)

If coaches can leave. Why can't the players leave when their situation changes?
Did every New England Patriot suddenly become a free agent last week? How about the Tennessee Titans? Is every player on their roster now a free agent? Then Alabama players shouldn't be either.
Giving college kids a benefit that pros don't have, just because they can make money, makes absolutely zero sense.
edit: Explain it to me. Don't just downvote. Why should Isaiah Bond be a free agent, but not Kayshon Boutte? Why should Amari Niblack be a free agent but not Deandre Hopkins?

Sorry you were just the one I left off on. Didn’t mean to reply.

Sure, I can provide my perspective. I didn’t downvote (FWIW).
I think the NFL and college example provided is an apples to orange comparison. In the NFL, most players are compensated and it’s their full time job. In college, the majority of the players are not compensated (In comparison) and not full time employees. NFL players can request trades, request releases, etc. CFB can not. The rules are completely different. It’s two different beasts.
What are you advocating for? Players have to stay with their original team upon original commitment? They can’t change their teams on their own terms but the coaches/school can force them out at anytime?
With that being said. I do think we need more guardrails and standardization around the portal and NIL though. I also think commitments mean a whole lot less than they used to but unfortunately that’s the time we live in.

He's the qb of the defense. The coaches need to be sure to make him a priority. If uga could pull him, they would've gotten him out of high school. He's from very near Athens. I think he stays. Just a gut feeling.
He stood out as a freshman. He's the captain. Why go try and make a name for yourself somewhere else, when you're already a star on a team that pumps DBs into the League?

Once you allow capital into your system, it’s over for the system working without more lawyers. The virus of liberalism in a classical definition. Capitalism destroys tradition and turns all relationships into transactions. OU and UGA’s lawsuit that created case law against the NCAA’s controls and limits over television contracts and appearances was a mortal blow to the old paradigm for the sport.
The only failing is nobody in power realized that when cable television exploded and instead put their heads in the sand when they signed billion-dollar carriage contracts with broadcasters while paying the talent in scholarships.

I'm really more of the type that broadly agrees with the left critique of capitalism but not confident in their alternative programs. One thing a lot of dumber lefties misunderstand about Marx is that he firmly believed the capital system was a necessary precondition for any future system that was more humane and sustainable. He wasn't anti-capitalist per se but only anti-capitalist as a final destination of civilization. I'm not anti-capitalist but I am critical of it.
I don't think there is any accident that as capital has deepened its roots in college athletics that it has become less enjoyable for many.
