fwiw, I'm glad UF isn't shelling out $13 mil for one player.  That's nuts.
Brazen,wanton greed and it starts with the NFL/Networks/Agents. Pretty soon gonna be like the 1st half of the last century folks gathered around the radio. Because of the price of watching a game in your own living room

The Nebraska football team has added a third player from the University of Georgia.

Bulldog transfer offensive lineman Jacob Hood announced his commitment to the Huskers after a visit to Lincoln this past weekend.

The 6-foot-8, 350-pound Hood spent just one season in Athens before entering the transfer portal on Jan. 13. He is the second transfer portal player NU has added on the offensive line, joining Arizona State center Ben Scott. Nebraska also signed five high school players in its offensive line class.

Arik Gilbert has considerable talent at football.  For some reason he transferred to a program with two tight ends that are better than he is, and he appears to have some other issues.

Brock Bowers is a junior next year ....

Georgia DT Bear Alexander (6'3, 305) hits the portal in a bit of a stunner. Alexander was a top 50 overall 'croot in the nation in the '22 class and really flashed for Georgia in the national title game vs TCU. Looked very promising for a true frosh DT. Pretty sure he's going to be hounded by every coach in the nation now that he's hit the portal. 

Rumors are he's leaning USC. Which, if true have to question this kids sanity. Any defensive kid who willingly goes to play football for Lincoln Riley is....pretty dumb. Especially one that is already playing for Kirby Smart- a defensive guru.

and the UGA DT that hit the portal has committed to USC....talk about dumbass sh!t.

Yeah, I've got Kirby Smart- the best defensive coach in the game at the moment coaching me- a dude who stays pumping out high NFL draft picks on defense- we just won a natty and made some huge plays in the title game as a true frosh- so yeah let me go transfer and finish my career playing for a guy in Lincoln Riley that has less than zero clue when it comes to defense and couldn't field a defense if his life depended on it. Has Lincoln Riley ever even had a defensive player drafted in the first 3 rounds? Honest question. Kirby has only coached probably dozens of 1st rd draft picks on defense if you include his time as BAMA DC.

Bear will likely look like a standout at USC ...

NIL?

The Dawgs have two more NTs this year who would play a lot even with Bear.

Thanks to the transfer portal, teams can now have pipelines to other programs?  Sheeesh.

not a surprise. he’s bad at WR. Excellent return man, reverse guy, and in space. 

Should’ve been a RB imo.

not that big of a surprise but thought he'd stay. Rod Moore, Makari Paige, and Moten were all co-starters at safety, with Paige eating a lot of his minutes and young former top 100 overall recruits at the position from '22 in Zeke Berry and Keon Sabb right on his heels.

Michigan MLB Nikahi Hill Green has hit the portal as well. NHG was a starter in '21 but missed all of the '22 season with hamstring injuries. He had attempted to make a comeback and was with the team during spring. My guess is the Nebraska transfer Earnest Hausmann might've taken his starting spot. If that is the case- he's good enough to start somewhere else so can't say I blame him.

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.
