Another Texas A&M receiver has entered the NCAA transfer portal
After missing all of last season after suffering an injury in fall camp, Camron Buckley has now entered the NCAA transfer portal just days after Texas A&M wrapped up spring practice in College Station.
Buckley makes his decision just days after true freshman receiver and early enrollee Shadrach Banks also decided to enter the transfer portal.
Buckley was scheduled to start last fall for the Aggies in what would have been his senior season in College Station. His decision to enter the portal was first reported by Brian Perroni of 247Sports.
During his three seasons on the field in College Station, Buckley caught 62 passes for 877 yards and four touchdowns. He made an appearance in all 13 games, making one start, during the 2019 season.
If he made the decision to leave Texas A&M, regardless of where he ended up, Buckley would be eligible immediately at his next school as he would be leaving as a graduate transfer.
very strange over the last 2 years that all these players are entering the portal. are these recruiting misses? what’s the deal? i hate the portal!
He would be eligible regardless because of the new rule. He doesn’t have to be a graduate transfer. I haven’t seen the A&M spring game yet. Is it a bad QB situation or something?

HONEST QUESTION FOR ALABAMA FANS…
Okay no trolling on this question and just honest answers please. Most everyone feels that eventually Bryce Young will be special. But this is a question about now. This next season.
Are there any Alabama fans that will admit to being just a little worried about the QB situation right now. NOT IN THE FUTURE but I mean now, today. What are Alabama fans the most worried about if anything?
Like I said. No trolling please. This is just me asking a question. I’m looking to see how Alabama fans really feel. Plus one other question as well.
What if after all the success Alabama has had. What if they suddenly just became mediocre or worse, bad? Not under Saban. Let’s just say that Saban retires and the next guy is killing the program. How would Alabama fans feel about it? I mean I know it wouldn’t feel good. But what I mean is. How would you react? Would it be look the sky is falling? Or would you say, oh well we had more than our time in the sun? Or if there is another answer. I’m just curious.
PS. I like to troll as much as anyone. But honestly I prefer trolling Florida. LOL. But no really. These are honest questions. No trolling please.

No, I am not worried. This is a fact of life in college football. He is a different QB than Mac Jones and the offense may differ, but he has a lot of talent around him, though young and inexperienced in the main. Bama will also have one of the best defenses in the country next year, and that SHOULD take some pressure off until he can get it going.
Hope you watched the draft.
Not so strange at all. The transfer portal gives players who have been passed over on the depth chart an opportunity to find somewhere they can start. I don’t like it either, but it very rarely points to any kind of coaching or recruiting issues.
The transfer portal is mostly just a way for kids passed on the depth chart to find new depth charts to get passed on.
Mostly. There are a few shocks, like the Mike Wood deal at Arky..but you’re right. By and large, its players wrapping up their playing days and want more play time before its over. But I’m afraid of what the NIL will do to. Seems like some pre-portal recruiting and bidding could become reality.
Arik Gilbert wasn’t passed by anyone. I still hope UGA gets him. I am happy he told Florida to kick rocks!!! LOL. Also Tykee Smith that transferred to UGA wasn’t passed by anyone. He is considered one of, if not the top db in the country. I hope UGA lands the other db from clemson. But if we don’t I’m fine with going to war with what we have now. We have at least 2 open scholarships. I would love to see UGA get the db from clemson and possibly Arik Gilbert. That is what I’m hoping for. As you probably already know. UGA is not broken. We don’t need to be fixed. But we do need the dbs to grow up fast. Clemson is not a pushover!!! But I still believe we win it if we play our best. I hope Alabama comes to play when they face Miami. If Alabama comes to play and plays well. They could potentially crush Miami. But if not Miami is talented enough to win.
One thing that bothers me about Alabama taking off against Miami is YOUTH!!! Y’all are young at so many positions. Everyone knows that eventually Alabama will be great. But the way your schedule is loaded this year. It’s not exactly a cakewalk. I mean y’all have Miami and then Florida only a few weeks apart. Florida isn’t going to be that good. I don’t think. But Mullen seems to always play Saban well. He never wins but he finds a way to keep it close. Personally I don’t understand how? Saban and Mullen are light years apart. I guess it’s like Gus at auburn. Most of his team’s weren’t nearly as good. Yet he found ways to win and beat Saban.
I personally believe auburn made a mess when they fired Gus. He was a stable winning coach. His team’s weren’t great in bowl games. But they were always WINNERS. Firing a winning coach can destroy your program. Not everyone gets lucky and grabs a Kirby Smart. It usually doesn’t work that way. When UGA was considering hiring Dan Mullen instead of Kirby Smart. You should have seen me. Man I was on the warpath!!! Luckily someone must have heard me. They wised up and hired Kirby Smart instead.
PS. Whoever heard me. I’m sure they are glad they listened!!! LOL

I’ve never heard the words Gus and stable in the same sentence. The man had a knack for beating Bama. He also had a knack for losing to the worst teams in the conference every year. I guess you think UGA should have kept Richt? Gus had 2 ten win seasons, Richt had 9.
LOL
Exactly.
He’s a good kid and hopefully will find a good fit somewhere.
