Turkeydawg Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I hate that thing. I just read that with Scooby Carter in the portal, Bama has now had 8 scholarship players enter the portal this year. I read that Scooby was suspended for a game this year and committed to 3 different schools during his recruitment, so this isn’t a huge surprise. I hope the NCAA gets a handle on this sooner, rather than later. BamaBirdLady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovie_Lover Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 NCAA doesn't want to get a handle on it. They let Fields, Tate, and others leave without sitting out while others with the same reason for leaving/real reason for leaving had to sit. Eason and Luke.

BamaBirdLady Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It has gotten way out of hand! It is real easy to say as a fan, well if he doesn't want to be here, we don't want him. The problem is you have spent a scholarship on him in December and then confirmed on NSD. What could have coach, any coach, done with that scholarship? I know a lot of people complain about coaches leaving, I get it, but these are grown men with families to provide for. This transfer portal has provided kids with an outlet to appease their entitlement. Sorry if I sound too old school, but working in the education system for almost 30 years I have seen this coming because we are afraid to say no to kids even in elementary school. So when an elite QB, Fields, comes to GA and has been given everything and done whatever he wants and Coach Smart says NO, he can't handle it and runs away. And by the way, drags GA in the mud to do it! Sorry if I am ranting, but watching this decline first hand has been painful!

Faithful Falcon Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I understand where you're coming from, but overall. The Portal is beneficial to players. If they were ordinary students, I could understand. These kids are there to play football. You also factor in that in the recruiting process, that these kids don't really know what they want. I've been there. The first visit I went on as a junior in high school. They treated me like a king. I was escorted around campus by two gorgeous women that were seniors. Got a chance to experience the college game day. I was ready to commit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
