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

Asking out of ignorance - so how's our portal class shaping up? Seems to be a lot of malaise and handwringing in here, but it's in our nature as Hog fans at this point.

So far today we've picked up DL from USC (the real one) and Virginia.

Yeah, I don't understand why you don't take a chance on a kid from Arkansas that won like 59-1 games from 9th grad on and has basically begged to be reruited. I know he's smallish for a QB but obviously he knows how to win. If it doesn't work out then he can move on and you kept a fence around the state.

I get what you're saying, and I agree with the extra available scholarships this year it would have been nice to take a chance on a homegrown kid.

The flip side is that he probably wasn't going to see the field here for the next 2-3 years anyway. If he can put something on tape at Utah, based on his overt want to be a Razorback, maybe we could get him back in 2-3 years if it looks like he can play.

These days taking a chance means giving money to somebody that could've gone to another player. It is a different animal these days

and a rb from michigan.

hard to tell the ranking since the sites don't have all the players listed.

[vegashog]

commit from a tulane db. 42 tackles, 9 pbu, 4 picks.

a starting db from montana st. visits tomorrow.

I read the one from Virginia started out at Alabama. That makes me feel better about evaluation.

The Alabama recruit part was encouraging, but to play debbil's advocate I also heard he was not a starter for Virginia this year playing ACC competition. Said he averaged around 20 snaps/game. If you could get him for less than what you would have had to pay Geffrard, I guess it's a wash.

We're getting guys from lower conferences or guys that weren't starters in power conferences and hoping they can pan out.  It'd be crazy to go full-darksider mode before we see how the staff is able to develop these players.

[vegashog]

lsu has commits from boise st, howard, old dominion, and charlotte. auburn has 7 from usf. georgia has taken guys from army, and uab.

the 105 man roster means you're going to take players from all over just to fill it out.

edit: the georgia guys were taken in the spring portal of this past year.

[vegashog]

let's see where this goes. guy just entered the portal.

Yeah, and do you want a guy back that doesn't want to be there? Someone create a vehicle for me to short college athletics.

That soccer player was a girl who died of kidney cancer. Williams decided while everyone was at her memorial that it was a good time to announce he was leaving, 4 days after signing a revenue sharing agreement to stay.

Just crazy and a completely unsustainable system.  $6 million?

[Barton Fink]

Dirty world

[vegashog]

no one can verify these figures being thrown around.

and if it's rich guy's money, how is it not sustainable? it's obviously that important to them.
