Wait - I thought we hate the transfer portal? It's full of disloyal players and drama queens and does nothing but hurt teams.***

He’s a huge upside addition and being immediately eligible but also having 2 years left just makes it even better. Not many 6’6” WR’s running 4.4 forty’s out there. Saw Paul Jones tweet about him on Twitter so I’m assuming we’ve already reached out. Hopefully we can sell him on throwing it 50+ times per game with a future NFL QB and little to no resistance to significant PT & targets.
Not locked up but there's interest.

Niccceeee. Hopefully he didn't enter the portal just to get back out to TX. We need to get this kid. He doesn't have a ton of stats I know but I mean he's 6'6" 215 and runs a 4.4 forty. He's been behind the greatest slew of WR's at one time at Bama ever. Was expected to take a pretty big jump with increased opportunity at Bama sounds like. He's the best you could ask for at this point in the portal. Hopefully: Costello+Air Raid+Least Resistance to Tons of PT > Getting back out home in TX. The fact he has 2 years while being immediately eligible just makes it even better.

You're not doing it right. Everyone knows the only players that are disloyal, drama queens are the players that we lose to the portal. Anyone that could potentially be coming here has a legit reason for leaving the school that they are at.

It would be time to report Baylor. There would definitely have to be something fishy going on.***

Not that it is relevant, but I keep seeing people saying that is 45 minutes to T-town from Vegas. I had to look it up to be sure, but it is 81 miles. I dated someone over there for a little while (in the '70s) so I drove it a good bit and even coming back at 6 am it took an hour and 15 minutes. Roads can't be that much better, can they?

Should we find something out on this front soon with players reporting for voluntary workouts all week or will this dude take his time and enroll in July?

Yeah no clue where people get this. It?s most definitely 75 min drive minimum. Gordo and Reform can turn it into 90

When he catches 8 balls for 150 yards and 3 scores in a win for the Dawgs over the Tide in Starkville in 2021 it will be worth it.

Last time I was through there, probably 7 or 8 years ago, the roads were worse if you can believe that. My wife (the Auburn Grad) whose pretty attuned to what is going on in Alabama says the state is not allocating road funds to make it worse on Mississippi folks. I can believe that, just feel sorry for those Reform and Gordo folks.
Praise The Lord and Go Dawgs!!!

Du wut?
What would they be trying to accomplish by "making it worse on MS folks"?

Had to go get a friend out of jail in reform one time. Cost him a lot more than an extra 15 mins

Haven't put a clock on it, but it's definitely a shorter drive since the nineties. The MS side is 4-laned all the way so it's much better. Gordo & Reform still suck but AL is bypassing at least one of them now.

This is correct... It's 4 way almost all the way....
The roads (save construction) are infinitely better than way back when....

Long, long time between now and end of Aug.
Players will leave, quit or be medically unqualified. There WILL be more than one slot open up ... guaranteed.

Your players don't know how to do it. Our guys, at least the ones we were counting on actually playing this season, already work out there destination plans before they ever bother to announce their intention to transfer and get in the portal. Reese had his deal ready to go before he entered and so did Jones. Lovett is the only one that didn't seem to have an ironclad destination before jumping ship. Somehow our players don't seem to want to follow the process.
