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

Pretty remarkable how the landscape of getting players has changed. Almost overnight.

Yeah, I had no idea it was signing day. Used to I kept up with all that shit.

This is not "signing day" it's the first day of a signing period in the early period. It's been this way for about 5 years I think. Still have the "Signing day" in Feb that has been pretty well deminished in popularity. Usually by then you'll have some late holdovers and a lot of portal movement.

If you are taking a bunch of freshman right now that probably means your NIL game is soft as fuck.

[Gambler]

Didn't want him anyway.

[jdcatty]

My guess is the high school kids that are signing today will show up in Fayetteville in January.  At least most of them.

[Show-Me Hog]

Didn't want him anyway.

Looks like his first choice was Oregon.

Settling all around.

Actually, this is true this time. We pulled his offer once we knew the 4* WR Ja'kayden Ferguson was going to flip to us. The one committed to us is better.

[vegashog]

and the kid that "flipped" to memphis never had a scollie offered.

[Barton Fink]

This is what I've been saying about recruiting and NIL. Long gone are the days a kid comes to play for a coach. Now money is the primary factor.

[vegashog]

yes, but i think staples post was taking a well deserved shot at kelly.

[Barton Fink]

Yeah I know (and all for it). Just pointing out Kelly's remarks. It's clearly a pay for play world.

[Barton Fink]

Not good

Kelly is using it as an excuse to deflect from the fact that he is just a supremely unlikable human being, lost the sideline this year, and nobody wants to play for him. I doubt LSU is suffering in NIL dollars.

[hit_that_line]

No surprise. He will be good elsewhere.

[animal]

It's a world where your older coaches that are used to a certain way of doing things are going to find themselves struggling if they cannot adapt. Fortunately most of them have been paying players for years. If we were serious about NIL we would hire Ed O to run it.

this. and if it weren't for his insane buyout which i'm sure never crosses his mind, would be kicked down the road.

[buff2.0]

Maybe Sategna will enjoy a coach who doesn't try to make him run sharp routes.  Enjoy the college years because bad routes and average hands isn't a winning combo for the big league.

Gonna be hilarious when he returns 7 punts for TDs next year though.

[Natty_Ice]

Carmona to return

Why are hookers and blow the first two words that come to mind?

[jdcatty]

Carmona to return

He's not great, but he is ok.  And OL do get better with age and experience, so I am glad he's coming back.

I think you know the answer to that.
