Jordan Addison to the portal

[Handsome Squidbum]

I certainly would prefer it but I dont think that would be that big of a factor. Gattis (as OC) and Mario (as HC) don't have history of 1rd WRs to bank on.

Gattis was the co-OC/WR coach for Bama when Jerry Jeudy won the Biletnikoff. Jeudy ended up being a first round pick. Im not saying Gattis is on the same level as Riley, but he can get guys drafted high too.

Nobody is gonna stop bama from getting more talent lol

Who starts over him here? I can think of maybe 2 guys, mello and coby?

Keyshawn IMO

I’ve been leading the charge for us to add another Portal WR since January, so I’m not making the homer argument.

I just don’t see it with Brooks & I think the majority of people only think of him from the prism of him being a former South FL 5-star WR that we missed on, so people naturally just assume he’s great. But I don’t see elite speed, elite hands or elite route running with Brooks.

Obviously, he’s still very young & has time to develop & last year was just a small sample size, but one thing about Saban is he doesn’t hold his players hands & make excuses on their behalf. That’s not to say he’s perfect on all evals, but he’s been very vocal since last year about his disappointment in his young WR’s & his actions in the Portal have lead me to believe he doesn’t think too highly of them.

I’m 1,000,000% in favor of bringing in a Portal WR, we need a surefire playmaker with great speed.

I just don’t think Brooks is this special WR that some other people think he is, he looks B- at everything IMO.

Remember when Mims signed a NIL deal with FSU and they announced his transfer? Good times.

Devils advocate says he has also seen what Riley’s offenses have done for the past 4+ seasons. We aren’t quite sure exactly how we will look on O honestly, just saying.

I agree. That’s on the coaches to sell the proper vision in getting this kid. It’s not as difficult to overcome if there was an unknown at QB.

Ill take it a step forward. He saw what we had and while it’s nice, he may think it isn’t as nice as we think it is

Bama’s involved too now.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

I don't particularly care for USC, but I think it's good for cfb when UM and USC are good. Most of the cfb world is sick of Bama. If it's not us, I'd much rather see him go to USC than Bama.

And then they ruined it for everyone

Addison would be foolish not to listen to other offers, considering nearly 49% of his NIL deal will be swallowed by the government there.

 

[TallyCane]

He’s got his mind made up already

I don't know why anyone would want to move to California. Not kidding about taxes: $2 million NIL in Cali is actually only 1 mil in take-home.

Leeds already said that it isn’t just about the money

USC is one of the few other big name schools besides Miami that gets criticized by the media.

Like 1/1000th

I get the relationship angle maybe tought to beat with Caleb Williams, but Riley has not developed a single HS QB.

Well, maybe Williams is technically a transfer now, so Riley maybe playing chess?

Seriously though, Caleb is not close to as proven a passer as TVD.

Who would you rather catch passes from?

California takes its share but let’s not kid ourselves. The vast majority of the income taxes he will pay go to Uncle Sam. Any athlete signing an NIL agreement will pay approximate 37% (slightly less when blended) in income taxes (assuming its a high six-figure deal). California adds an additional 12% in income taxes.
