Oregon OL 5 star Bram Walden hits Portal

I predicted this a year or two ago. USC. And Bama and other hot destinations Are going to use other schools as JCs. And it scares the heck out of them.

so a marginal recruit will go to a wsu and get pt. Wsu will sign. 4 three stars. After two years One will do nothing. Another will ride the bench another will start and another will be a surprising budding star as a soph.

usc wont give 4 scholarships like wazzu did to find the kid. They’ll just take him after year two and he will have 3 years to play two or 4 to play 3. That type of thing. It’s not fair but it’s happening and will continue.

I think Bama and usc will ontinue to recruit 5 star guys. Skill players who are easy to measure and evaluate at elite 11 and 7 on 7 camps. Think guys who take time like linemen and some Lb will be regular portal swaps.

He's been battling an injured knee for 2 years. Redshirted as a freshman. Played in 2 games as a soph. Article lists him as a 4-star....but who cares? https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2022/12/oregon-ducks-reserve-offensive-lineman-bram-walden-entering-transfer-portal.html
