Saw this article off the main page that linked this reranking of players in the portal. That is a ton of student/athletes in the portal. Look at the 4 star RBs and WRs. Interesting how many don't have a new home.

smells like a dead fish looking for a store to put him on display. JMHO

I wish him well. He made a decision that I really think he knows he screwed the pooch. Rash decisions by teenagers usually turn out bad & he has to know he missed out on a huge opportunity here. Maybe it turns out great for him.

GB heading home (originally from Chula Vista)... interesting, best wishes.

Walk-on, huh? The article mentions that SDSU doesn’t have a scholarship open, but I’m sure they could have found one if they wanted to. They don’t even know if Bell will be eligible next season yet, so I don’t blame them not putting much effort into finding a scholarship for him.

My goodness, goes from a scholarship at a B1G / Power 5 school to a walk on ... great example of life choices / decisions have an impact. Just glad I'm not the parent footing the bill or paying for the student loans.

Seems to me from what they talked about the first part of the season and now having to go as a walk on that he may very well have felt entititled based on his past performance instead of working to mainaint his work ethics to build on it.

SDSU with a solid pick up. As a walk on.

Did we even get a better sense of the full story of why he transferred or was it solely about PT?

Are you talking about Bell? If so, this is what he said.. Take it for what it's worth.

He told ESPN at the time that he “earned the starting job and feel I have continued to work the same way but feel I am not being used to my fullest potential.”

Bell says now that he was distracted by health issues with a family member.

“Being away so far, I wasn’t able to help,” Bell said. “It was stressing me out, trying to play football there and worrying about what was going on here. Now, I’ll actually be home where I can have an impact. ...

You would rather not play at Lincoln or in San Diego? While my choice would be Lincoln I can't blame the guy for going home and San Diego isn't all that bad of a consolation prize.
