| FTBL Updates on Alabama players that are entering the transfer portal...

[bamafan9201]

Niblack hasn't officially submitted his transfer app yet?

All the reports and rumors to this point say he "plans to transfer"

So he said he was thinking of transferring but it's been 48 hours. The longer it takes usually means he's having second thoughts.

One last question . So is this headed toward some teams with more money being basically all-star teams with all-star backups or will players still want to go to where they can start?

It's already there, look at Texas and Ohio State this year, they're shelling out tons of Collective and NIL money to try to build super team rosters to win next year.

The interesting part is, will it actually work? Look at the NFL and the Eagles on paper they're the best roster IMO but they imploded when locker room personalities are bought with money and it ended their year. Everything's gravy when things are going good but one bad apple can spoil the bunch.

I'm just wondering if say Bonds goes to Texas and is basically the third or fourth option, he will up front have made more money than if he stayed at Alabama. But, is he actually losing money in the long term than if he had stayed at Alabama and been the first or second option and been a much higher draft pick

You assessed the situation correctly. Schools like that will replace you with another guy next year and cut your NIL money as soon as you're not a star to them. That's the nature of the business he just put himself into.

Also, I am interested to see if this transfer buying makes some recruits mad and kills some relationships in the recruiting pipelines. A lot of these guys committed 2-3 years and are 2nd on the depth chart expecting next year will be there year to be a starter then suddenly the transfer portal closes and their team adds 2-3 transfer WR that are perceived starters and you're stuck behind them unable to even compete for the job.

Going to be a interesting landscape with this stuff, we will see how it shakes out in about 2-3 years if recruiting classes and stuff start taking hits for some schools.

Who, then, will feed him grapes? Life just isn't fair sometimes I guess.

Didn't see your reply... Mine took forever to type because the dog kept insisting on going outside (which requires me to go with him)...

Let me guess, Goldendoodle?

 

[SnakeDoc]

I see Saban tried to help.

Why does he need an extra year of eligibility?

 

[BamaFan334]

Why does he need an extra year of eligibility?

I imagine to build his NIL funds and have one more year to produce and have tape for the NFL. Why does he deserve another year? I can't answer that one.

I agree, he'll earn more in college than post-college.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Close.

Draft stock needs to rise more. He's started to show some good talent but needed a bigger stage to showcase it.

 

[bamafan9201]

Antonio Kite officially in the portal today, he'd held his paperwork for a couple days.

Amos and Niblack are absent from the official portal stuff no clue if they're slow or they're having second thoughts guess we will find out in the next couple days.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

Hopefully by Friday or Saturday Coach would have spoken to all the players and the portal movement will be done.

After spring drills, it will start again but for everybody.

I'm glad he was denied then. An extra year should only be granted for medical reasons.

He can play near his brother in the USFL

He can play near his brother in the USFL

why so much animosity toward him?

 

[24and7]

why so much animosity toward him?

None here.. but he just aint that good.. not nfl good

 

[Justneedme81]

None here.. but he just aint that good.. not nfl good

based on what reason?

 

[SnakeDoc]

why so much animosity toward him?

No animosity. I just don't think wanting an extra year to get better, or any reason other than medical, is worthy of a waiver for an extra year.

 

[24and7]

based on what reason?

Personal observations..maybe the USFL can get him there..

Bond = Maziel. Wait a year or two and see…

Bond is tanking orders for the Daniel Moore grave digger print …what a douche…Is that his handler’s twitter with the grape eating video?
