It's brutal. Why even bother recruiting high school kids anymore?

The ugly side of this is, not all athletic scholarships are guaranteed for 4 years. They are renewed each year. So it's very possible a college coach extended an offer to a kid and said kid accepted a scholarship offer his freshmen year. But after, said freshmen year the coach does NOT extend that offer again for said kids sophomore year.
In the early years of Saban, he was notorious for extending offers to kids but then would get commits from others and decline the offers he submitted.

College sports, akin to politics, is a dirty dirty business

I don’t know if it’s good or bad. Won’t it level the playing field some? Won’t the Georgia-type teams lose kids looking for playing time? I see QB Tyler Buchner from Alabama has entered the transfer portal. He was the No. 41 overall recruit in 2021. He appeared in 2 of the tides first 3 games this season, but got beat out by Jalen Milroe.

It truly is awful, especially for teams like the Gophers. As soon as you develop a guy, you lose him to a school that will pay more.

What’s the QB from New Hampshire all about? Max Brosmer transferring here. Looks like he had solid numbers there.

Sounds like Caleb Williams won't play in USC's bowl game. That's another thing about college football that irks me now. Players getting paid, players transferring out whenever they want, teams like our Rodents getting invited to a bowl game, players on teams going to bowl games skipping the game because they might get an owie.....ridiculous.

I think Georgia has 3 QBs currently slated for next year that could start just about anywhere in the country.

Inversely, the Gophers could receive a commit from the top FCS quarterback. So I can envision it working both ways.

think of some of the top guys weve had recently...Bateman, Winfield Jr, Tyler Johnson, Ibrahim, Mafe, etc...etc...those are the kind of guys that now other schools will steal easily. An FCS QB does no make up for the type of talent that the Gophers will not be able to retain.

No idea who this is but it's a reminder I guess that the portal works both ways! Hope he pans out...
