Why would you assume that anyone is assuming we know. We don't but that does not contradict the likelihood of players having a MORE easy out than they use to have. The portal has been a surprise to the NCAA on its utilization as it has been to a good many schools including those in the SEC or any conference. I am not assuming anything about any given player. I wish them all well who leave because if you don't want to be part of the family for ANY reason that is going to make it difficult to buy in fully to what is going on in that family. Nor is it reasonable to forgo any family situation or deprivation of ones actual needs. However, there is a difference between want and needs. The portal has changed college football it remains to be seen for the better or the worse. My opinion is that it is for the worse.

Fell in love is very good reason. With that in mind I am willing to bet my loin cloth that the portal has less than 50% of guys who are going to be starters and who getting along with the coaches.

Per AP, this player participated in last year’s senior day and was not in spring practice before it was shut down. Grad transfer who made that decision last fall?

I agree! IF the portal is going to continue to exist, ONE do over with your college choice is already one more than most people get in life.

We have so many problems and concerns but it would be an interesting study to see how often the guys who do this also have trouble with employment or girlfriends or wives or families etc etc. We have talked about self interest etc. However, there probably are indicators of future and past issues in this guys life. Just thinking and YES all of us probably have had moments in our lives where self interest did not always turn out well even if it did at times.

transfer portal activity has GOT to be down as a whole since not very many schools finished their spring football so not many knew where they stood entirely or at least thought that if I could only show em I will be starting. Once fall camp gets going (no matter when that happens) should decrease the over all numbers.
.
I am looking forward to driving to Da Vet and cheering on an almost certain to be undefeated team by (lets say the beginning of September at least). Actually I have high hopes for this season because my aardvark Norm is now on Medical Marijuana for a hip injury incurred during a nasty mating accident with one of Tom Brady's deflated balls. Anyway, after rehab and the MM he seems to think a 7-0 start is almost in the bag. He (Norm) states that it may have taken him a year and half to recover his telepathic prognosticating skills after hurricane Michael but he is ready with a clarity no emotional or physical pain can bring him. He states that he knew Covid was coming and tried to warn me. He says that our chance of having the season go off without a hitch is 110% minus a variable or two. When I asked what that meant, he simply said his MM prescription was getting low and that after the pain subsided he would have more info. Got refilled last nite and right now he is eating brownies and ice cream but he swears he will tell me when he gets up after his nap.
.
Yep its slow and I WANT FOOTBALL...….the virtual draft did not do it for me.

Maybe more on MM than known . Anyway Norm woke up and has informed me that he will be leaving for an assignment. Evidently, he has been pegged by the SEC to be the love triangle mediator for Saban, Kiffin and Leach. Kiffin made the final selection of their arbitrator because Norm looks like a football he once threw around with some Co-Ed’s in thongs at last years spring break

Trevon Woolfolk has entered the transfer portal. He was second in rushing yards last season. Likely would have been 3rd or 4th on the depth chart this season with BJ coming back and Charles Strong becoming eligible.

Likely would have been 3rd or 4th on the depth chart this season with BJ coming back and Charles Strong becoming eligible. At last count, about 48 RB in the Portal with no home. About 8 Troy Trojans total, in the portal with no where to go. Ok, so, Trevon is competing with 48 other RB for that special opportunity, he only had to compete with 2, at most 3 at Troy. Hard to figure the logic. Thanks for the memories, and keep praying.

Hard to figure the logic. Thanks for the memories, and keep praying. I mean, he would have been competing with the Preseason Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year in B.J. Smith, last year's starter in DK Billingsley, and a very talented P5 transfer in Charles Strong. Woods and Vidal will make some noise this year. Sometimes you see the writing on the wall. If he wants to go somewhere else for more playing time let him. A lot of guys will end up at FCS schools where they are more likely to compete for a starting position.

Abandoning the (The HC we don’t speak of) ship! I believe there are a couple guys that have left for that reason, but I don't believe that's the case with Trevon.
