Thread title is Portal and Transfer tracker. You can create any thread you want to complain, talk about the Fall of Crimson Empire, and pretend to be coaches but let’s keep to what this specific thread is about. No reason I need to scroll through 3-5 pages that has nothing to do with the thread to get updates
Hopefully, you'll manage.
This thread is about the portal.
Difference of opinion is inevitable. Not everyone is optimistic all of the time.

Can we create and pin a thread so people can continue talking about how bad we are recruiting the portal, how we are broke, and how Alabama is a farm team. Though as some point out not sure how we would be a farm team if we cannot develop them as some think.
Either way let’s focus on players in portal and those that UA is potentially in it for in this thread. The negative posters take it out of this thread please along with the armchair expert coaches
What is the fascination with making this into other Bama football fan sites where critical discussion is not allowed?

I'm starting to wonder when the first school will decide to sign ZERO HS kids and just allocate 100% of their resources to signing guys out of the portal.
Welcome to the college football farm league. 6-7 teams spend whatever NIL funds are required. The rest of teams sign the high school talent, develop the talent, then get it bought out from under their noses. Alabama is and will continue to be subject to this.
Seems like the only way to navigate this with limited funding is to do what Deboer is doing. Sign high school recruits, pour the available money into retaining the top talent at all costs, and supplement in the portal with deals (ideally, with more emphasis on both lines).

You see -
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little bit extra.

Desperation is coming to our offensive line portal recruiting soon. We have five returning scholarship linemen, two of which have any level of experience. The rest are freshmen. Our one portal guy so far has no real experience. Sheesh.
All joking aside, it's both lines.
Not sure what the strategy is.

Feel like that formation is heavy on DBs.
It's pure chaos. Causes havoc.
Especially with the 15-yard cushion technique.

Agree with this to the moon. Desperately need quality defensive linemen that can either start immediately or play a lot of snaps from day one.
Not panicked but I see most of the good linemen in the portal being snatched up. I know Bama was/is never gonna get them all but I have to wonder if Courtney Morgan is incompetent.
Only need two down linemen for the 2-5-4 defense.

You really think we've hit rock bottom on offense yet?
Hold on to your hat, pal.
The oopty-oop plays haven't been brought out yet.
And we've officially hit rock bottom.

Byrne better be ripping up that contract extension right the frick now.
You don't think Whittingham was hired because it's already signed?
Better hope the offense runs clock.

S&C has to change.
Gigawatts generated in the first 0.3 seconds of a ten-yard sprint do not matter in games like this.

No downfield passing game whatsoever.

Bend but don’t break. Offense HAS to sustain a drive next time out.
Indiana will simulate pressure from a corner and Ty will audible into a set with all 11 men between the hashes.
There, spoiled it for you.
