Collin Schlee from Kent State to UCLA. I'll take that. Will battle for the starting QB position, and it means that a certain QB from Clemson will not be heading to Westwood. Win/win.

And shorty after that they add an OG from Purdue to give him some protection.

I think I need me a cold beer. Half way through a 16oz Highland Brewery Cold Mountain Hazelnut Christmas Ale at 8%. I almost understood that.

RUMOR out of Gainesville is that Graham Mertz is transferring to the Swamp. Understand a lot of Gator fans on Swamp 24/7 are a tad less than thrilled.

Arik Gilbert enters the transfer portal. Hope the guy can solve his personal issues. Obviously home sickness was not the problem at LSU. He has some issues because he is without a doubt a great talent.

He has a ton of talent, but Georgia has a tight end room overflowing with it. Hope he finds a good landing spot.

He has some issues because he is without a doubt a great talent. LSU is looking for TE's, first of all would LSU make an offer to him again and second, would he go back to LSU. Different head coach now.

Peyton Bowen is what is wrong with the NIL meeting the Portal and both getting along swimmingly. What an ugly relationship. Shit needs to get under wraps with some rules and regulations of some sort.
5 star decommits from Notre Dame, flips to Oregon on signing day, then has already decommitted and committed to Oklahoma, all this in a matter of 48 hours.
Yep...NIL and the Portal forevah!!!

Unless a school has some very wealthy alumni - I look for some limits to be put on NIL. Transfer portal has some merit, but I expect some regulations will be put into place to control it.

UGA picks up two commits from the top two available WRs available in the portal today in RaRa Thomas who was the leading WR at Miss State this year and Dominic Lovett who was the leading receiver at Mizzou this year. UGAs WR room was upgraded by portal and this years class. UGA really addressed areas of need and might not be done.

I doubt that, the government won’t get involved and the NCAA left it up to the individual states to legislate it. Nobody to enforce the needed change it seems.

That was the area of need. They need to be very careful. I don't think they are looking at qb and I hope they aren't. Those guys need to be developed and we have a slew of guys who have waited. Team chemistry doesn't need to be tampered with. We have demonstrated over these two seasons that we are extremely thin on wide outs so I clearly get those. Otherwise, leave well alone enough.

From SI:
North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye was one of the breakout stars of the 2022 college football season and his success led to some interesting rumors about efforts to entice him to transfer.
Reports emerged this past week that Maye was offered NIL deals worth upwards of $5 million for him to transfer to another, larger college football program. The reports began a massive debate about NIL influence on active college players.
But Maye himself didn't address it until recently. In an interview with ESPN, Maye asserted that the reports were rumors that "weren't really reality."
"Those rumors weren't really reality," Maye said. "Pitt's coach (Pat Narduzzi) ended up putting that out there. I don't know what that was about. You have to enter the transfer portal to talk to these schools and hear these offers. For me, I think college football is going to turn into a mess. They're going to have to do something. There was nothing to me or my family directly offered from any of these other schools. Nothing was said or offered to the Mayes."

His own head coach asked the media to not ask him about it which seemed strange to me. CPN has accused a team or teams of tampering last year and this year so it seems to be his new thing.

Rumors are bouncing around about AD Mitchell, and Texas, and how "$$$ talks", but not sure what to believe.
AD is the Georgia WR who caught the ball in the EZ on the 40yd pass "free play" which put the Dawgs on top, and never looked back.
Not sure why he would leave as he was hurt for almost all this year, but if true, and it is for the almighty dollar, and only the dollar, interesting choices happening. I mean he would be leaving a NC team he helped win said Championship, said team is in the running for this year's NC, and if one wished to look to next year, Georgia should make some noise next year as our schedule is not good. Anyway...we shall see.
Interesting times, indeed!!

Which might explain why Georgia took 2 recievers out of the portal.

Portal and NIL are going to get pretty messy as time passes IMO.
And now that Jayden Daniels has announced he is coming back next year, IMO Garrett Nussmeier will probably enter the portal.

Rueben Owens. 8&4 recruit who flipped from Louisville tells 247 that he will make 6 figures at 8&4
How could Owens, a five-star running back from Texas, end up committed to Louisville? One person on Twitter speculated it was money. Two million, to be exact. “I was like, ‘What!?' I wish they gave me $2 million,” Owens told 247Sports. “There’s just some crazy stuff what people be saying.”
Owens decided to open his recruitment. Ultimately, he picked nearby Texas A&M, a program that had long floated amid his recruiting process.
“At A&M I’ll probably make six figures,” Owens said.
Im so glad to see that NIL is not used for recruiting.

When my dad taught ROTC at Wake, the backfield was John MacKovic and Brian Piccolo. That was ground breaking stuff for two Catholic boys playing for a Deep South Baptist College.
