Guys who just signed are already bailing on their teams.

LSU had a 3* OL sign in December and enter the portal few days ago.

Can't blame a kid for wanting to get out of that toxic situation under Brian Kelly, dude will be gone in 1-2 years.

Half of the first round of the NFL draft was LSU offensive players, and the Tigers still sucked. I don't blame anyone for leaving. BK has ruined everything.

That's probably because he got to baton rouge and said holy shite i could be living somewhere actually somewhat desirable for the next few years instead of this shite hole.

I hate everything about this annual free agency. As a fan, how can you get attached to players if they move every year.

What's the point of having a "signing" day if they can just enter the portal the same year?

I mean who would have thought that giving 18 year old kids a bunch of money would be a bad idea?

NIL isn't the problem. The transfer portal not being tied to academic standing is the problem.

Some, probably most were probably encouraged to do so. Can replace them with a better player from the portal.

A predictable bad side effect of NIL disease!

When will fans realize they support a team of 1099 contractors for hire?

You will see that the coaches and teams that are most honest with recruits will retain their players best. They might also get those kids after they enter the portal too.

They will eventually have to limit what players can make and alot of rules to transferring. You can't have kids going to 5 schools and wasting the teams time recruiting them and coaching them up.

If they don't then it will just turn into a grab the best players for a year and have to repeat the next. The best players will run for more money and the ones that don't play will just transfer around til they run out of eligibility and maybe play a year. No one will be able to get too attached and teams will pop up for one year and disappear (top schools will get the most talent and stay up but have ups and downs at different positions, year by year).

I will say it has been keeping the "News" section of the Rant/TigerDroppings very busy.

Used to see an article a week, at most, it seemed like; now it feels like there's 2-3 a day about some kid transferring in or out of an SEC program.
