Re: 5 Bama Linemen Enter Portal
The portal is like a pick-up basketball game at the park, where every game lasts a year. Except in a pick-up game where you have 2 teams and 20 players, the picks all alternated. Team A gets to pick a guy, then Team B gets to pick a guy. Now Team A gets to pick the 10 guys it wants ($ in hand to pay them), while Team B gets the 10 guys Team A doesn't want. And of course if the Team A picker made a poor evaluation in game/year 1, (John Doe turned out to be better than expected) that mistake can be rectified by offering Doe more $ to switch sides in game/year 2. Team B (Vandy) will forever be on the short end of the stick.

Re: 5 Bama Linemen Enter Portal
This is where recruiting gets interesting. Are there some guys out there that are leaving for more playing time? Vandy offers that. Any of these guys get recruited by CCL when he was at ND and he has a history with? Very interesting to see how the portal plays a factor in the next few years.

Re: 5 Bama Linemen Enter Portal
This is very unique. A Power 5 team that can offer instant starting potential and an incredible education. And a team with positive momentum and a coach that seems to offer a very good environment for players.VandyManners wrote: ↑Tue Dec 06, 2022 9:58 am This is where recruiting gets interesting.

Re: 5 Bama Linemen Enter Portal
A tweet this morning from Jim Nagy, the executive director of the Senior Bowl, sheds some additional light on what's driving some of the madness. For all of the foolish naivety about NIL not being used as a recruiting inducement, it is obviously happening (and almost certainly tampering along with it). Sadly, not everyone in the portal will see this kind of benefit.
