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

[buff2.0]

Yeah I still bet T-Will's gone after the bowl.

That whole keeping the team together campaign ain't looking too hot right now.

Brad Spence to the portal.

Doubt we can match whoever got in his ear but we need to try

We're 17th in NIL in the NCAA and 8th in the SEC.  We have money.  Some have more, but we shouldn't be losing every good player for lack of money.

Maybe we need someone to better allocate our money and/or lobby boosters for more with regard to specific players.

I'm going to assume the only way you get into the portal is if you submit paperwork and notify the coaches. The media goomers don't control when or how players are listed in the portal. So I'm trying to retrace my understanding of this Russell situation. Just makes me wonder what the hell happened.

I was wondering if the staff was trying to find the "leak" as it seems someone is a good deal ahead in reporting this shit. But then again our staff hasn't really shown any indication that they care that much to find any potential leaks.

Adam Ford has already speculated that Twill is gone after the bowl game and that's why the defensive guys are bouncing. Make sense I guess but if he had a job lined up usually that doesn't slow anyone down especially for a shitty bowl game. Probably bonus money on the line.

Some media people have access to view the portal.  Russell was indeed in...and then he was out.

[mde114]

Addison Nichols. He gone.

[Feral]

I asked this earlier in the thread but I'll pose again. At what point does HY have his hand forced with Pittman?

The sheer amount of portal attrition we're seeing indicates something is very wrong (beyond the obvious of Pittman being a shitty and uninspiring coach).

If HY and Pittman were selling continuity and that's out the window now, why are we still entertaining bringing Sam back in 2025?

1:30 presser tomorrow to talk about the blue light specials we'll be bringing in and what col beers you can buy in preparation for our Liberty Bowl berth!

[DirkPiggler]

The decision to keep Pittman is going to go down as the third worst in the history of the football program, behind firing BMFP and hiring Morris.   What is worse is that like those other two catastrophic errors, it's obvious in real time just how badly we are screwing this up.

It is going to cost us far more than it would have to just pay his buyout and move on.  We will only end up saving one year that.  The combination of destroyed brand value and having to overpay both in NIL next year to have a roster and  to convince a coach to join this turd circus is going to surpass any money we saved by postponing the inevitable by one year.

Gonna be a little weird playing a game with both centers gone into the portal.

I'd argue this would be worse than both. This is forever death. Take my name off the fucking sidewalk at this point. Just worked a 12 hour day putting a bow on a year where I pissed excellence and I see we've lost multiple starters again. I'm gonna tear those fucking pig statues down this weekend.

Steal them.  Sam will just assume they entered the transfer portal. 

The BMFP firing is the worst, because without it the others probably never happen.   I'm sure he would've flamed out at some point, but not to the degree where hiring Morris or Pittman were ever an option.

If you're still putting in 12 hour days, you're doing it wrong. 

[The Whyte Boar]

As of now, we have six scholarship offensive linemen for the bowl game.  When do we cancel?

When you're performing at this level, it never feels like work. You're a weak man who doesn't understand mastery. Perfecting your craft. I'm like a finance version of a Mount Hiei monk.

If I could buy you for what you are worth and sell you for what you think you are worth, I would be even richer than I am now.

You will never get this.
