We still have spring transfers so I'll hold off on nervously vibrating myself down to the earth's core until then. Or maybe I won't. It's cold as poo poo.

Bama may have more kids in the portal than UW at this point but it's probably close.

Lol there's a legit possibility Bama could lose 5-7 games next year. @Wisconsin, vs. Georgia, at Tennessee, vs. Missouri, @ LSU, @ Oklahoma, vs. Auburn are all very losable games with the current state of the team. Also, Downs rules but Ohio State needs to throw whatever money it can to lure Proctor over. If they can get him, it allows Fryar to move in to his natural position at RG and Simmons to his natural spot at RT. It could completely overhaul the line.

The bigger issue for UW is the transfer portal in addition to the already heavy turnover due to graduation/declaring early. It was already going to be a very different team, the coaching change just made it exponential. I feel like if you're a player in a coaching change there really isn't a reason not to enter the portal just to see what else is out there, even if you ultimately end up staying. You didn't have a choice that you would end up with a different coach but you do have a choice who it ends up being.

They'll have to play some catchup if they didn't build out the capacity as much as the other powerhouses. Next year is looking super critical for them. If they can keep winning and keep improving their players' NFL Draft stocks, the NIL deficit probably matters a lot less.

I think you’re just going to see heavy roster turnover turnover any time there’s a coaching change no matter who you are, even if you’re a top 5 program. If you’re Alabama or Ohio State or whoever, you’re probably going to be able to replace that talent pretty quick.

Where guys elect to go might be swayed by money but most of the kids leaving now are leaving because they signed on to play with the greatest college coach ever and he’s not there anymore.

Warbird posted:The dumbass tweets have a nugget of truth in there that isn't new but has become extremely apparent to the homers. I love that the kids are getting properly compensated and can more reasonably move schools, but I do wonder how long this can go on without regulation or it all just exploding. I'm not sure it's a solvable problem either as any attempt to reign things in will just have it go back to bag men and so on. "Ignorance" was bliss I suppose. Boo hoo - signed the University of Washington Huskies Luckily DeBoer’s strength is recruiting so you guys will be back to landing guys instead of them choosing UGA and Texas in no time….

I hope? gently caress I don’t know market speculation shows up everywhere and PE is worse than loving cancer so who even knows anymore. Anyway, burn it to the ground and pay kids a standard salary from the school with transfer rules and let them make their own endorsement deals independent of university.

LeeMajors posted:All this would’ve been avoided if the NCAA hadn’t held so tightly to fake amateurism. They made the kids scrap for any compensation whatsoever, lost badly, and now the floodgates are open. Yeah, a pretty simple solution would be the school and the players sign a piece of paper saying "I, student, promise to play football your school for 4 years in exchange, you, school, promise to give me $x". But apparently that's a horrible evil that would destroy the very fabric of america or whatever the gently caress bullshit the NCAA is spewing.
