What's more dangerous? Ego or Eggo?I saw an article listing all the players in the portal posted on here. Was initially surprised, not so much now. It isn’t surprising that highly rated HS players underperform and believe it’s just an unfair situation. It isnt. This is a hard lesson about the dangers of ego
Before my kid told me he was transferring, I would be asking where to and is there a scholarship offered.
To go from full ride to full unknown is terrifying.
Lots of families i suspect cant handle that monetary change easily
@Moose Stuff A couple of Alabama linebackers are in the portal, Ben Davis 5*, Ale Kaho 5/4*. We in the mix?
What percent of the portal are disgruntled kids vs kids that the coaches encouraged to look elsewhere to free up a scholarship?
Those might be synonymous.....What percent of the portal are disgruntled kids vs kids that the coaches encouraged to look elsewhere to free up a scholarship?
17%What percent of the portal are disgruntled kids vs kids that the coaches encouraged to look elsewhere to free up a scholarship?
False. Its 17.28%
I don't have any insider info on why he and Davis are leaving, but we do pretty well with putting LBs into the league. Davis has onebyear remaining, and Kaho possibly has two. I would at least hope we shoot our shot at two 5* LBs looking for a home.more than one of my wife's family back in washington find a bit of amusement that kaho is in the transfer portal
there was a great deal that went on with him after signing with washington, needing a class to qualify though some claim he was told by bama not to take the class so he technically wouldn't have enrolled at washington and could sign with bama, had some family things happen, claimed he needed a release from washington so he could stay closer to home in nevada, and upon his release signed with bama which was his family's preference.

Hey-is your Avatar from the Princeville St Regis Resort in Kauai?Looks like TCU football is playing the Transfer Portal Game well. Dead weight on some of these guys leaving and then they are being replaced by higher rated, proven D1 players. Lead on TCU.
I think B12 LBs have to at least be able to cover TEs and RBs. At 6'4" and 250lbs Davis would be a fast edge rusher (I don't know about his speed) while Kaho would do fine.It's odd, but some of the best linebackers we've ever had in the GP era, I'm not sure they'd be linebackers anymore on this team. I'm talking guys like Jason Phillips, Paul Dawson, Kenny Cain & Marcus Mallet. Probably forgetting some from further back. I don't think any of those guys would have had a chance in hell of playing Safety. Nowadays, it seems like all our LBs (at least the ones that play) are basically kids that came in as safeties and had to learn how to play LB.
It's ALL about speed now. I think more than it needs to be at times but what do I know.
