If NIL and Portal existed in say ... 2002

Eagles also signed CB Eli Ricks to an UDFA deal. Ricks transferred from BR to Alabama. He was basically the guy that Garner replaced in BR

Ricks had a similar plight where transferring ended up hurting his draft stock

I have a feeling Trey Amos is gonna end up with a similar story to Ricks. Going to Alabama is gonna burn his draft stock to the ground. I seriously doubt he’s gonna do anything there.

For alot of these guys, the fallback is the NIL. Yes they are looking for the exposure and the chance to get drafted higher…but the promise of NIL money is whats really attractive to them NOW.

Tyrell Fenroy finally graduated this year. Do y'all think we would have lost him too?

I privately wondered that the other day.

By the end of his Jr. year it would have been real hard for other schools not to meddle with a 3-straight 1000 yard rusher.

With NIL + transfer portal, will the Cajuns (or any G5 school) ever have another athlete good enough to retire their number?

Sad to say, but I don't think we ever see another Brian Mitchell, Charles Tillman, etc. graduate from UL. As soon as a player has an All-American worthy freshman, sophomore, or junior season, they will be off to a P5 school for the big NIL money that UL can not afford to pay. The destruction of G5 football is really sad.

NIL (after the fact) not for recruiting? Or is it?
