Every time I see one of these "under-the-radar" lists I think about the 2000 season when LaDainian Tomlinson was just some kid from Texas nobody outside Fort Worth had heard of. Now we got kids jumping in the poratl after one spring practice because they aren't getting enough NIL attention. The portal killed the whole concept of earning your stripes. Back in the old Southwest Conference days you stayed and you fought for your spot. Now it is just a transaction.
