Not for 7 figures it’s not surprising. He played a lot. Wasn’t a starter but will be. This is NiL. Unit the opinion that you should start building your roster through transfer portal and us HS recruits for depth and development pieces.

It’s comical at this point. He has a podcast where he just recently lectured against freshmen leaving. Someone offers a payday and he’s gone.

Hardly can blame him. But no way Alabama is paying that kind of money for a backup corner. I’m curious what happens if he doesn’t win a starting job wherever he goes.

Pretty much confirmed that Ole Miss has offered him a starting position and cash over $1 million.

He's withdrawing from Portal - Bama decided to pay up.

Assuming the 7 figures is true. In what world is a backup corner worth that? Just upped the price for every starting DB now. Hell, probably every backup.

From an OM fan this is pretty funny. It was your coach that allowed him to extort that much!

No, he’s the one that went after him with seven figures. So then that’s what Bama had to do. Makes sense now?

That’s capitalism, put up or shut up.

Nobody had a gun to Bama’s head to pay it.

So what you're saying is Bama allowed themselves to get extorted. Yes. that all makes perfectly good sense now.

"It's Lane's fault that Bama paid him" is a fricking wild claim.
