Gator's 2024-25 Recruiting / Portal

We are in such good shape Bama is having to take our backups now.

I think Bama and GA are about the only 2 teams now which just have a few portal starters. Most other teams are loaded down with portal starters now.

Clemson has done less in the portal than anyone, by miles and miles. Since it started, they've brought in only two transfers through the portal - a couple of QBs, neither of whom ever started a game for them.

Forgot about them. I wonder if he eventually budges on that as they haven't been their usual self since NIL started. They kind of backed into the playoff spot with the 3 losses this season.

This would be HUGE if true.

What's sad is Oregon used his mother(who reportedly made her last campus visit with her son before she passed away) as leverage for their closing pitch.

In a related development a judge ruled the NCAA can't count junior college years toward eligibility since it's not an NCAA institution. Vandy's QB sued on that. Next we will have someone suing they shouldn't be limited to 4 full years as long as they are in graduate school. A lot more money to be made for some players that aren't likely to stick in the NFL and tons more money than the Canadian league pays.

Interesting point. When you think about it, why should eligibility be limited to 4 years? And a lot of times it isn’t.
