Kyle Efford is also listed as the starter on the depth chart, and we know that he won’t be playing because he’s out after a recent surgery. So I would take the depth chart with a giant grain of salt.

Yeah, but Efford did not enter the portal, different case with an injury to a team member.

Education part of this barely enters most of the better players' (the ones that are wanting to cash in now and hopefully later) minds. They are tutored to the point of keeping them eligible - yes, even true at Tech.

Is it sad? Maybe, but it is what it is.

Going from GT to Texas Tech, makes me wonder if it's not NIL related and more going for an easier education?

Texas Tech has 38 commits total, with 16 out of the transfer portal. They’re not spending like Texas A&M, but they are spending.

I think it’s NIL.

If you want an easy school, they aren’t hard to find.

Alabama has 43 commits between the portal and high school combined. UGA has 40, with 11 from the portal. Ole Miss has 26 transfers and 48 overall commits. Multiple programs have made the portal the focus of their recruiting strategy. We are using it to fill gaps.

I personally like the “fill gap” strategy. That will build consistency. Relying on the portal annually is high risk (possibly) high reward. It might just be all risk.
