I am pretty sure Katona comes in as a preferred walk-on; I don't think he was on scholarship at Stanford.

Someone please tell me how to pronounce Aeneas because that one's too easy to get horribly wrong

The way it was always pronounced in Sunday school was uh-NEE-us.

Nice to see some transfers coming in. Would like to see some secondary help from the portal.

Couldn't we just come up with some NIL dollars and grab some NFL free agents. Really don't see the difference anymore. It looks like as soon as a player accepts NIL $, he becomes professional.

I know that someone who puts in for the draft is out as far a college ball goes, but if a guy tries out as a free agent and doesn't stick, can he go back and play in college?

Actually raises an interesting concept. What if Joe Superstar, a 5 star who played two years at bama, then went to the Titans, but quit after 5 years to finish his degree at Vanderbilt. Technically he would have two more years. Under the new rules could he play?
Sounds bizarre, but say he was a backup QB for 5 years and figured he could get his degree, play 2 more years, and get on with a new team.

I know that years of eligibility left and academic classification as a "sophomore," "junior" etc. are entirely different but just on the surface it seems like the post we saw earlier that VU coaches could only use the portal for freshmen and grad students isn't in effect here. Glad to see that.
Can't scamper or slither...but I used to swim.
