Calzada in the portal...again...

In a twist of fate does he return?
7 th year
I would not be opposed to getting Calzada back. His familiarity with the coaches and A&M would be an asset.
On the one hand, I definitely get the position that players who are forced to be in college before they can really go out and get paid shouldn't be forced to stay somewhere that just isn't working...
On the other hand, though, this is turning into a nightmare for roster management. No other sport, outside of college, now, allows players to leave a team, willy nilly.

from the UM boards it's for a really good NIL dealEKG1996 said:Wonder why he is transferring?LMCane said:my Canes going hard for this guy.JustisWalkert said:
Alabama starting O-Lineman in the portal
supposedly Miami has a good chance to land him.
Another Cohen in Miami!
and Mario Cristobal was an offensive line coach/recruiter for Alabama a few years ago
So at what point do we label this a mass exodus? We are up to what 15 now?

I hate it too, but I think it will even out over the years. Smart coaches will be able to show the data to kids (hopefully) and help them see that picking. A program and riding it out is the best method to going pro. If you are in your 3rd/4th year in the program and have no shot at getting PT, maybe it's time to move on. But the vast majority of transfers are going to get stuck in the portal and drop out. May as well get your degree.
Go ask Mannie Netherly how the portal worked out for him. Got stuck in the portal and ended up working for FedExThe Banned said:aggiewoodie said:

It's like if the NFL only had one-year contracts for everyone. Free agency every year. It's going to ruin this sport.
Do we know for sure that Max Johnson is staying? He's our journeyman backup.85AustinAg said:

Somebody with stars find the post from the guy trying to flex last year when after only 2 or 3 months from the NIL stuff happening there weren't yet any major consequences. I believe most of the sane responses were, "just wait."
I think the waiting's over.
I think the waiting's over.
Paper. An insane deer. Taco meat.
what kind of numbers are other schools seeing leave? I am thinking our numbers are not out an outlier at this point.

I would like to see Burris stay put.
Josh Moten in Portal
Not too surprising I guess, after his arrest this weekend (and apparently his 3rd since being at A&M).
Texas A&M sophomore DB Josh Moten was arrested Sunday AM near Northgate after allegedly hitting a trash can with his car & causing it to go through the front door of 12 Rooftop Bar & Lounge.

He was charged with DWI, reckless driving & striking a fixture/highway landscaping.
On the Josh Moten front, I am not expecting him to be back with the team

His most recent arrest is his 3rd arrest since he’s been at A&M.
At what point to we admit the mass exodus? Or are we supposed to pretend the locker room is all good?
but but but all these transfers arent contributors.Captain Awesome said:

Only if Weigman leaves.
Everyone else is expendable.

I think the calm comes from the reality that the majority of these guys weren't contributors. There are a couple I think everyone would like to stay (adeleye for example). The. Others that are big talents but big time idiots (Denver Harris). Overall, no one leaving made a serious contribution this year.
That said, we have a major issue with retaining people long enough to become upperclassmen. Jimbo has to rethink his approach.
Sounds like addition by subtraction to me.

These are rookie numbers compared to the bama's of the world.KCup17 said:but but but all these transfers arent contributors.Captain Awesome said:

Name the key contributors. Ok so a lot of 2nd and 3rd yr guys that said I'm not playing like I think I should let me see if I can fit somewhere else. It's not rocket science
-
Alright
So because they aren't key contributors you wouldn't call this a mass exodus?
U ask any coach anywhere in the country and some starters leave that they aren't jumping all over them. So that dumb to say do we have contributors. Just get on to see if you're message gets a response. We'll here u go
No this college football isn't like anything we have ever seen. No one has to stay and wait to play u can leave and see and a lot of these guys will be backups just on another team.
And some want to see if they can get more NIL somewhere else. Like it's a different game now. U have starters with great season leaving teams to maximize NIL or a chance to win it all
So 19 players and counting leave a program and you aren't willing to call it a mass exodus. Got it.

Well Jimbo assured us that when Ainias told us there were a lot of guys not buying in, that it didn't really mean not buying in.
He was also adamant just a couple of weeks ago that there weren't a bunch of transfers coming up. The guys were locked in and wanted to stay together and play.
So none of this is really happening.

17 scholarship player transfers and counting
Edit because I've had to change the number twice in the last 3 minutes.
It's getting hard to keep up with

Yep. We'll replace them with our massive incoming freshman class.
