more players are hitting the portal than some fans expected, especially considering that one of the reasons Durkin was retained was to prevent transfers (according to some Bunker posters). Some of those fans also think Golesh is being tight on the money side, causing some of these players to consider the portal.

So finally to my question. Why would Golesh be tight on the money when it’s not coming out of his salary ?

Edit to note that i have an On3 account but am not approved to post on the Bunker

And what ?

Actually, I asked a question. It’s a trash talk board, for sure, but there’s always a chance you might get an actual discussion.

As an Auburn fan it has never occurred to me to peruse a bama site.

I don't think you understand how revenue sharing and NIL works.

It definitely hasn't been a good start for the Russian.

I think some are not a good fit. I think some want more money. I think some just want to be at a different place. Hell, we had a walk-on say he is transferring.

From what I have read, Auburn football will have $30M this year. That tells me it is not about the money.

There have been a few that were disappointing but nothing abnormal in this new environment. A lot of people are just slow to adjust to reality. So far we're at like 22 or so in the portal, we've replaced 40 plus multiple times the last few years

We’ve got a new GM making G5 evals and valuations. Unfortunately, we’re losing some players we would really like to keep.

You’ve replaced coaches multiple times as well. It goes hand in hand.
