Losing guys like Niblett is the toughest part of the transfer portal to me and is probably what is going to pushing cfb towards increased parity. It’s just hard to build truly elite teams when you are losing good depth who are given a chance to develop.
Not really in playing style, but his development path is sort of like guys like Chris Ogbonnaya. Good culture fit, special teams and role player first few years but works his way on the field a little more every season. In this era, he probably transfers to Miss State after his sophomore year.
I understand why it probably makes sense for Niblett to pursue more immediate opportunities in the portal, but it sucks.
Some Netflix series the production company that does “Drive to Survive” and “Full Swing” is doing. Could be good, but I get why we opted out

Good for him. I imagine the list of players who walked on at a Blueblood program, earned a scholarship, won a starting job, then declared early and got drafted is a pretty damn short list.
I get the logic, but like they mentioned in the episode, there were too many things that could go wrong with their plan. If I’m Sam there is no way I throw the challenge and give away the guarantee to live another day.
Not that I don’t enjoy it, but sometimes your commitment to the asshole bit makes it seem like you are missing some obvious jokes.
Unless I’m the one missing an obvious joke.
It would be awesome to get him back for one more year and get him the Thorpe (he had a credible argument to be a finalist this year). Would be an incredible story.

pretty good music year really. I think I probably would have the same top two (FJM and MJ Lenderman)
