Can't say I'm surprised with the money he's probably been offered and I certainly don't blame him for leaving but thats disappointing. Now we have to hit the portal and find someone that can play right away because we don't have an immediate successor. I was really hoping he would wait one more year to cash in.

[FlamesHighontheTide]

Thankful for what he did for us on the field & I wish him nothing but the best, but the Transfer Portal is ruining College Football.

[ballcoach15]

Sounds like a case of tampering to me. NCAA needs to put a stop to this crap.

[thepostman]

Tampering? Based on what exactly? I'm not saying it's not possible but I haven't seen anything even suggesting that.

Regardless, like I said earlier today I wouldn't blame him one bit for transferring. It's the nature of the beast. We can't be celebrating our transfer portal pickups and then in the next breath be upset if one of our players decides to move on by using the very same portal.

I wish him luck!

[Yacht Rock]

It must be tampering because absolutely no 20 year old would look out for their own best interests and think the grass might be greener somewhere else. That's just not possible.

[jmclaughlin]

Get on the portal train or get ran over by it. We will be just fine. Best of luck to KSalt. He was a huge building block and this was written in the cards when he came on. Rebuild character and name . Then chase the P5 QB1 dream.

Don’t be the one kicking him on the way out. He is still a Flame for life.

[ballah09]

To his defense, the coaches have been on X calling out teams for contacting our players. ASOR confirmed he had offers way before our bowl game too. As I mentioned before OSU insiders were saying that they offered a nice bag for him and no announcement wouldn’t be made until after our game.

[Tnobes]

Kobe Singleton is in the portal now also

Definitely tampering

You really think a starting QB enters the portal without already knowing he has offers? You are delusional if you don't think people have contacted him on behalf of other schools

Was probably Freeze . Auburn is looking.

[Kricket]

How ready is Jayden Bradford as a true freshman? Salter has been great but Bradford seems like a kid who really wants to be at Liberty. Thats gotta start factoring in when deciding on which QB to focus development on otherwise we will see a cycle of one and dones.

If I was Salter, Freeze wouldn’t exactly be my first choice.

[Tnobes]

Hugh Freeze almost ruined Salter, I doubt Salter goes to Auburn unless he has Stockholm syndrome

So, are you married with only a 4 year commitment? Seems odd

Jayden Bradford just became the starter. With our running game and his ability to run you can develop him as the season progresses and still win

[aj7]

Hope Salter can end up at a big name program. Kinda similar to how coaches will use Liberty as a stepping stone to a blueblood. It hurts but that means we're doing something right on the mountain.

As for portal players who might bridge the gap to Jaydan Bradford...

Chandler Morris (TCU)
Jayden de Laura (Arizona)
Matthew Sluka (Holy Cross)
Jeff Sims (Nebraska)

Don't know what schools these guys are talking to but all seem like they could be a fit both skill-wise and for a G5 landing spot.

In your vows did you state to be faithful in your quest to find a better replacement of your spouse, every spring?

21 years and couldn't be happier but if my wife "transfered" she would be dead to me and I wouldn't even acknowledge that she'd been here. You are for us or you are against us. Onto the next. It's the Bradford era now. Salter who?

Next man up. It’s about the program HCJC and team are building, not any one player. That said I thank him and wish him well.

[ballah09]

I think Paivia would be a great fit for HCJC system. Gives Bradford a year to develop.

[thepostman]

Wow. Some people are unbelievable. The transfer portal is the new normal. Either get use to it or pick up a new hobby because it isn't going away.

Wish the kid best and have faith our coaching staff is doing their best to ensure we get a good replacement. Whether already on the roster or in the portal.

I was literally just typing this same thing.

Maybe, but having a nice NIL trust fund for athletes will make it even easier to keep and obtain good players. The old way of college football is gone.
