re: Refreshing to hear stuff like this

Used to hear all the time that a team always had one or two very talented player who were all about playing at the school. Now all I hear is NIL, the transfer portal and me, me, me. Kind of sickening.

Yep. TJ Finley had the opportunity to start 4-5 games last year as a true freshman, an opportunity that doesn't normally happen had Brennan not gotten hurt last year. He decided he wanted to transfer for more playing time after Max Johnson started the last few games. Now he would be competing to start again at LSU had he stayed. The grass isn't always greener, and I don't know what more of an opportunity he's looking for. He was given the keys last year, and was his job to lose. If it didn't work out as a true freshman, you have several more years to improve on any weaknesses, compete, and win the job back. You never know what's going to happen in football with injuries. Kids these days are too entitled. Think they are owed things that aren't earned.
