This is not good for college football.

Can you imagine the shit talk occurring if their son sucks or has a negative play in a big game? The drivers will be selected by teh university and they better be professional screamers:

I agree it's not good for CFB, but those are just demands. I think reality is going to smack him in the face hard. What he wants and what he gets are going to be two different things.
It's not and anyone that would give him that with his production is an idiot.

Branch is wholly unimpressive to me. Hudson was a nice get for PSU

Branch will be a NFLer to return kicks for sure but at WR he’s meh.
I was always surprised he wasn’t used more for jet sweeps and pop passes (even screens). I think he could be excellent behind a very good OL.

bring him back?

Crazy how these kids use mid level schools to get some playing time and then dip

After his 2 return TD's (and 4 of 6 career TD's) in his first 3 games - he really hasn't done anything of note. Amazing to me, thought he was going to be problem #1 for ND at USC. Wasn't even the main kickoff return guy this year.

Would still look good in Blue and Gold (or black)

I disagree. Its exactly what the sport needs ...because at some point the boosters (3rd parties) and the programs are gonna realize they cant keep this up and that they will stop entering in to these agreements if the ROI is plainly not being achieved on past investments. The market will soften for unproven commodities.

This is the free market at work.

No they weren’t but agree to disagree, not going to address each team. If you think Bama had a stockpiled secondary this year, you don’t know about the Bama secondary this year lol.
I mean injuries hapoen but any school would love to have a secondary room of...
Jackson 5*
Mbakwe 5*
Brown 5*
Mincey 5*
Woodyard 4*
Jones 3*

Those are just the guys from the top of my head not including grad transfers

I don’t take HS star ratings as equivalent to a stockpile of quality depth, especially in portal era. Bama played freshman like Brown and Mbakwe, is that depth to have signed and thrown in freshman right away? Multiple freshman on that list that Leonard Moore outperformed, does that mean Moore was not as good of depth for ND? Rod Heard who performed admirably at multiple spots when called upon wasn’t depth more than a freshman Bama signed?
