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

that's fake right?

If you are just a walk on you should be able to just wander around wherever you want like any other random sort of student.

He started at wake forest on scholarship then transferred here.

The kid obviously wants to get someplace he can play.  Doubt he has delusions of going anywhere for a big payday.

He went to App State. Holy fuck I hope Yurachek doesn't make our next football coach hire.

His brother is coaching there.  He was Dowell's first hire.  Dowell is kissing the right asses.

This will fuel the anti-Pittman fire.

As it fucking should.

So damning for Bobby to play his pets Anthony and Broden over him.

We're a clown program.

the guy who is your avatar is the guy who decides these rotations.

to me this looks like a 'get my name out there and see what i'm worth' type deal.

I'm the conductor of the fire Pittman bandwagon and think it's bullshit this kid didn't get snaps this year, but this is another reason why the portal windows have to be changed.

You need to have ONE portal window and have it open between Thanksgiving and mid-December. Once that's closed, it's done. Otherwise you're going to continue seeing bullshit like this where an unknown kid balls out in a meaningless bowl game against 2nd and 3rd stringers and then demands a payday.

Ironically, teams who have these types of performances are going to start getting penalized. It's oddly better to lose or win a defensive slugfest than have some offensive skill players play well.

If you're not in the playoffs, the smarter move now is for the school to decline the bowl invite.

Very little upside.

I think they should move the bowl games to post spring practice as glorified scrimmage type things.  Seems that would be more useful for getting ready for next year.

And we'd get some April or May football.

[buff2.0]

As it fucking should.

And it fucking has.

It's insane that Bobby Motherfucking Petrino is stalking the sidelines and we refuse to even consider giving him the reins.

The trend is just the opposite.

The main portal window will be moved to after the bowl games so some players will still play in bowls and the playoffs. See: The Penn State backup QB.

I think that would go a long way to making these bowl games less of a shitshow matchup of depth guys and walk-ons.

Either way, there needs to be one portal window, either before or after the bowls. Having multiple windows straddling bowl season is just rank insanity.

[vegashog]

the ncaa wanted to get rid of the spring portal, but the division 1 council (who has to approve it) chose to wait until the house settlement is final.

there's still a lot of stuff that's being negotiated behind the scenes apparently.
