Dumb question, but is there any chance whatsoever that Bond returns? He could go kill it at the combine and reinvigorate his draft stock, but coming back another year could push him back to the 1st round. Or is he just dead set on going pro?

He needs to improve on route running and ball catching.  He could move up in the draft if he returned.

Travis Shaw is in Austin. 

For a five star coming out of high school, he appears to have 2 star stats at UNC after three years.

I don’t think that’s entirely fair. His stats last year were very Bill Norton-ish. And he’s definitely more of a clog the gaps / occupy space / demand double teams kind of player. They often don’t put up monster numbers but are so critical in PK’s system.

Possibly not fair, but I don't think Norton was a very highly touted 5 star like Shaw was and after three seasons Shaw's numbers look like someone that plays part time.  I don't think that UNC's defensive line is so fantastic that Shaw doesn't play much for that reason.  If he can play a Norton type role here then that would be more than satisfactory.  If he comes and enrolls in the spring the coaching staff and strength training staff may be able to push him into that 5 star direction.

Bama is losing a huge amount of young talent to the portal this year. DeBoer needs to stop the bleeding.

They’re broke, the AD publicly begging for money was tip of iceberg

Seems that way.  They still had the #2 class for ‘25.  We’ll see in the upcoming seasons if that was due to the Saban influence and their recruiting will drop off.

Clemson waits until the portal closes to make the change. I bet he goes to OU 

 

Last ditch effort for BV to save his job. Goodwin was not a good DC for Clemson, but that defense has a ton of talent, and is a good friend of BV.  BV is hoping some of Clemson’s defensive players portal to OU before next season.

What’s it look like for OU to pick up a just fired DC from a program they think is beneath it?

A bad look from an outside perspective, but I doubt BV cares.  I bet he calls his own defensive plays in what I think will be his final season in Norman.  Rare for defensive minded HCs to call their own plays, but with his job on the line, he doesn’t mind imo
