Deboer building a team like he had at Washington. 3-4 stars and cherry pick a few 5 stars that have better attitudes than the spoiled ones Bama is getting rid of.

LSU is too poor to not go that route.

You have fans paying in to NIL collectives.

Accept blame.

This post has aged well. Like the LSU defense versus Jalen Milroe.

Ouch.

Portal class doesn't mean anything by itself. It's the overall rankings which includes both transfers and recruiting that give a better picture.

Texas


Last year’s transfer portal ranking:

Oregon #5, adjusted NIL $5.2M
Texas #6, adjusted NIL $205K

Oregon had the highest adjusted NIL but #5 class means they pay better than anyone else.Texas spent the least among the Top 10 teams

BAMA 4-5 stars, 19-4 stars in 2025 recruiting cycle.

Yeah, just like Washington.

Bama will get better talent, but Saban just went for star talent where I think Deboer will go for players with better attitudes than just talent rating. And I believe he'll actually be more successful doing that.

No one knew football players better under those stars on their helmets than Coach Saban. Player development was the best in the land for 17 seasons. The NFL draft saves me the trouble of saying any more.

Bama might have been 1 or 2 games better with him. I heard Bama fans criticize their DC for playing a 4-2-5.


Alabama did not have a defensive problem as the roster grew in the scheme. Got better as the season progressed. They finished with a top ten scoring defense. Their best since Pruitt was DC in 2017.

It’s amazing to me how so many don’t understand the portal. If you’re retaining the top of your depth chart. Signing a top recruiting class. Why would you need to be at the top of a portal ranking?

Any championship before this season is illegitimate. Everyone in the future will laugh at banners that were given by newspaper editors, or in a 1 game playoff or 4 team hand picked playoff. That we have a title game with the #7 and #8 seed proves all previous titles are totally bogus.

2024 is the season where Natties were actually earned and not given and that college football became a legitimate sport. The sport will now explode in popularity as the majority of fanbases will grow due to the excitement of getting a shot at a title especially with expansion continuing to occur.

Meanwhile, the fanbases of the fake juggernauts of the past will whine and leave the sport as their win totals fall since they no longer have the protection of the NCAA and everyone can use the same recruiting tactics.

on the flip side, and it's probably already been posted in this thread but I'm not reading all this: It's more likely that when this is properly regulated the way NFL, NBA, and MLB is, this bogus "NIL" era will be noted as bought and paid for pay for play.
