Portal thread. Who’s leaving, who’s coming.

[Hogfan58]

We picked up a Second Team CUSA All-Conference RB from New Mexico State.  Michael Washington Jr.  6'2", 215 lbs.  This season had 725 yards on 157 carries for a 4.6 ypc average and 8 td's.

Per ESPN he hasn't fumbled in college.  Looks like a good receiver out of the backfield too.

Over/Under on how many games he plays with us before he fumbles? I say his 1st SEC game.

All right, so I saw a video clip from Dorkowitz. Mizzou.

He said the business model now is 6-month teams with complete free agency at the end of those 6 months. Coaches have to be used to it, because this is the world now, and this is how you build teams. It's not exactly clean 6 month periods, but like this.

At the end of a season, the portal opens, and you build a completely new team with free agents from your school and other schools.

You have that team through spring practice, then you rebuild again during the new portal period.

After that one, you have your team for the fall. Only to wash, rinse, repeat again in December.

So, following that model you need a general manager and his staff to put a team together and a coach who is adaptable and detail oriented to get the most out of them for that six months or so.

Missed on the Georgia DL.

But how many more years of eligibility does he have left I mean ole miss has got to know this sort of information

Did Pittman run this by his GM Lane kiffin to see if this is the kind of talent that we're looking for

With this junior college ruling, why would a lesser skilled player ever go to a mid major or lower level college.  Go to a junior college for as long as it takes.  Play football, lift weights, mature your body, and then hit the four year sweepstakes at a major conference school and try to get maximum NIL every year.  You're going to have 27 year old college players who aren't good enough for the NFL chasing NIL money.

If junior college doesn't count toward eligibility, why should anything else.  You should be able to play college football as long as you can find a college that will enroll you.  Shit, guys playing Canadian football should be able to come back and play in the SEC.  Why play in Canada for $75k a year when you can make $500k as an SEC player without even being any good?

[vegashog]

you can only play for two years at juco.

[The Whyte Boar]

you can only play for two years at juco.

Why?  Who says?  A judge just ruled JUCO doesn't count towards your four years eligibility for college.  So why is it limited to two years?  If you go to a four year school and then go back to JUCO, does the clock stop? 

[vegashog]

juco's are two year schools. and they aren't governed by the ncaa.

also the pavia deal is a temporary injunction, not a ruling.

What's the reasoning?

A temporary injunction is a ruling.  It will stay in effect until the court rules otherwise.

And the point being, four year colleges are four or five year schools.  But you can go to them as long as you want.  Same with a junior college.

[DrMongoose]

JUCOs just become 2 year prep schools until the courts say otherwise. When was the last time the ncaa won a court case?

[buff2.0]

And we have neither of those things?

[The Whyte Boar]

And we have neither of those things?

We wouldn't want to be accused of being serious about football or anything like that.

We picked up a DB...from Eastern Michigan. If we're a AAA farm club, we're raiding AA.

He's originally from Georgia so maybe some promise there.

[hit_that_line]

Need another RB, close on two of the big receivers, another TE, and 2 more DL.

[The Whyte Boar]

I kind of like the portal era in some respects.  You can reload every year.  We just need a coach.

[BleedinRed]

Are we reloading?

[Third_down_draw]

It's like fantasy football. It's only interesting if you wager on it.
