I noted before one can portal and test the waters.  It makes sense to do so unless you're really committed to your team.  See who offers what and go there.  A prominent player is going to get a lot of attention, he won't end up at Akron.

And a player who is 3rd string could also leave of course thinking playing at Akron is better than riding the pine at Alabama.
Not really. When a kid goes into the portal, the school is under no obligation to take him back.

Sure, they aren't, which is why I said for kids who feel no allegiance to their school.  But for a pretty good player who is looking for $$$, I think it makes sense to test the waters if he's virtually a lock to get attention from several other P5 teams.

I think Michigan would take Moten and NHG back, if they wanted back. Both are really good players who provide excellent depth at worst- and could be quality starters on a good defense.

AJ Henning, not so much. He's pretty much only good for returning punts and reverses. I'm sure they'd probably rather use that scholarship somewhere else.

Notre Dame QB Tyler Buchner hits the portal. The Hartman transfer from Wake Forrest took what Buchner thought would be his job and kid has hit the portal.

Florida has 2 starters in the portal - a WR and a good pass-rushing edge guy.  
The WR has definitely underachieved - he's a long-strider with almost no quick-twitch to him.  It's been so weird seeing him return punts and get a lot of bubble screens for a guy like that.  His game is literally the opposite of that.

So, what is the risk/downside of a Bear Alexander type portaling?  He might not win another NC?  It seems likely to me he'll get more NIL.  He'll get more PT (which could be bad).  I don't know about coaching and development, that could be a downside, and not playing against elite OLs.

I guess I answered my question.

there's your answer right there. he's flat out not going to develop and reach his full potential at a place like Lincoln Riley's USC program like he could've at Kirby Smart's Georgia program. 

He'll probably get more NIL $$ right now, maybe he gets more playing time. Those are the only positives. At the moment. And those positives could turn out to be negatives. Maybe he winds up not developing and getting drafted as high as he should/could- and all he would've done is trade in higher long term $$$ via the draft for some quick NIL cash.

The first legit stud defensive lineman that Lincoln Riley develops will be....well the first one he's ever developed. Riley wouldn't know defense if it slapped him in the face.

46 total now

I get that the roster was bad, but you can't just churn this amount of the roster and expect anything.  Including their best player in the spring game, their leading tackler from last year.

Even when Tucker came in and flipped the roster at MSU, I think it was 23 kids, and only 2(?) were starters.  And they went 2-5

yeah that's an insanely high number. they're definitely going to suck this year- and maybe even next year as well. it's gonna take prime a few seasons methinks to flip that roster to where he wants it.
