Nic Anderson is already on LSU’s 2025 injury report and Bauer Sharp has already missed 32 blocks

[realpromt]

Auburn has done this three years in a row with the portal under Freeze 🥶
Auburn has also landed three top 25 recruiting classes, 2 of them being top 10 classes. 🥶 Auburn is a sleeping giant waiting on a quarterback to come and drive us to the championship. WDE 🦅

I'm excited to see Jacksn Arnold throw pics and fumble for another team next year.

[EstebanChapa]

Why is A&M in the title when they aren’t mentioned once

[jeffzuiderveen]

that is some mental gymnastics....LSU lost the #1 & #8 recruit, so it freed up NIL funds to get more players

[Chickhicks]

Loved Jackson Arnold. Seems to have all the tools until the lights are on. Slow decision making and panics when pressure is coming.
Of course OU offensive line sucked but there were times his turnovers and bad decisions had nothing to do with bad protection. Maybe Hugh can coach him up, he’s going to need to if they want any success.

How are so few people talking about Mizzous portal class, they have added a ton of proven talent as they retool post Cook

[Techraider]

If Texas tech doesn’t have a segment we riot

[jbaker]

Texas Tech definitely having a good one.

Lot of the top teams in the portal lost more than they added.

For ole miss, lsu, Auburn, A&M, it’s a shame they don’t have the right staff. Never gonna win unless they catch lightning. Cam, Joe Burrow, etc.

[saltymat]

Why is Tamu in the thumbnail and title but not mentioned 😂

[Lone_Star_Proud]

It only makes sense that teams having bad years can gain from the portal.

[unnyide]

Washington state and Oregon State have turned into the best trees in the orchard. Everyone steals their kids.

2 of the beat programs in the country are now a grocery store. Sadly, being a top 25 team is over for Pullman and Corvallis.

[jbaker]

LSU?

Their overall (which is the net ranking including transfers) has been top 10 and top 5 two times each in the last 4 years and looks to be another top 10 class.

But irrelevant cause they don’t have the dude at QB and Brian Kelly

[EmceePryme]

Doesn't "transfer portal winner" normally mean you were a regular season loser? 🤔 literally every team in this video was terrible last year.

[XavierY-rrei]

Im an Oklahoma fan but rn we are in a good spot got some transfer wide recivers baker mayifled 2.0 and defence i say we beat texas and win are bowl game 10-3

[jbaker]

OU “some guys” out. Yeah. 27. Including more 4 stars than they’ve brought in.

On Mateer I think people are off in la la land. He had an average season with a PAC power squad playing against mountain west competition.

You also only have 2 Washington State players coming over with OC? This is not an Indiana situation. You’re not gonna see levels of improvement. 1-2 games better maybe.

[scotthamilton]

How does picking up jackson arnold make auburn a only thing he has proven he can consistently do is turn the ball over ?

[terrybrunk]

Missouri is a sleeper in '25 w/its moves in the portal.

[chrislaw]

The top tier wide receivers Auburn has. Jackson Arnold will ball out next season worse case 9-3 Book it.

[Joelong]

Don’t clickbait A&M and not even mention them bro we don’t give af about these other teams
