This NIL and portal stuff is grim. But what I'm interested in is how the University and the team react. How do we hold onto players? How do you replace them when they do go? What's that going to look like on the field in the fall?
Adapt or die. We've experienced a long period of being dead and a very short period of relativity and success. No one wants to go back.
What is happening with the NIL and portal issues is that college football needs to become like college baseball.Quote:

There are no other outcomes.
The P5 is now just another professional football league.
Yea, I'm out. Tired of taking the high road and golf clapping for these semi-pro kids leaving us in a bind to get their money too. ____ em
That is a question that suffers from myopia.Quote:

I agree with your premise that there will not be a worry about enough players. However, it puts the level of play at a severe disadvantage. Players with good tape will (for the most part) will move on to greener NIL pastures.Quote:

The brand of football will suffer.
Better yet, list the reasons why said 5 star recruits aren't starting or even in the 2-deep.Quote:

I would assume there is a reason. Or reasons.
BTW, with the investment the Haves are putting into softball, I really fear that we won't be able to hold onto Davis and Allred.
I think this might be beyond football...college sports might be dead.
If we don't put a waiting period on the portal, collegiate sports will be dead.Quote:

Ripe for the cheap picking.
Simple, schools like Alabama have 80 of them with two full teams worth of 5-stars riding the bench.Quote:

I see what you are saying. When they steall our kids that they over looked in the recruiting process, we should take their kids that were a bust and didn't pan out. And you think that will make us better how? And if they didn't work out in college where do you think that next check will come from if not NIL? You think it is harder to make it at Florida or LSU than the Saints or Cowboys?Quote:

The 5 star classification doesn't allow for a whole of error. And you're expeting the 65-70 G5s to sort through the refuse of this group plus the 4 stars to find players who can suitably replace players?
So you're probably going to be sorting through 3 star recruits to replace your players.
You've made the argument that when one player goes in, another necessariy has to go out. No disagreement.
Here's the difference.
What they are getting is a pearl or a diamond.
What we'd very possibly be getting is the remnants of Walmart Ole' Roy.
Again, almost half of the kids that enter the portal go unsigned.
For the longest time teams were two perhaps 3 years old with a mixture of juco players and high schoolers.Quote:

Des has all the cards in his favor, he just needs to play them.
He needs to play them quick, and use all the transfers to his advantage.
Play here get better, and earn a career with a real payday.
This is my hope for every one of our coaches, regardless of sport. Make us better than you found us, go and get P5 money somewhere else.Quote:

Definitely hyperbole. To exaggerate a point.Quote:

Look at the situation when Trey Amos signed with Louisiana in 2020. Alabama had signed13% of ALL 5-star athletes over the previous 10 years.
Trey Amos would have never hit the field if he had signed with Alabama out of high school.
And that has to be a selling point Des uses.
Get out of those talent graveyards if you want long term paydays.

Just days after star corner Trey Amos entered the transfer portal and committed to Alabama, the Louisiana defensive backfield takes another hit as Kam Pedescleaux hits the portal. Continue reading…
