Popcorn summer thread?
None and I repeat "none" of this portal stuff is on Marlin. He is off the hook on this one.
Marlin's problems with retention far predate the portal.
"Never stop recruiting."
Agreed he earned based on contract. I dont think he can do it again.
With multiple years of 1,500+ players in the portal as of late, players leaving for the portal is the norm for every program. It’s becoming a game of recruiting in and outside the portal, not to mention booster NIL money competition.
When you only have ~1,750 starting positions and a fresh crop high schoolers on top of the portal players, lots of crushed dreams every year.
He has a new deal. How long he stays will be determined on how successful he is. Yes, we would have been very good with JB. I am not going to automatically assume we can't have a good year without him. We are bringing in 5 new players and a talented guy we redshirted will be ready to go. Truth is none of us have any clue at this stage how any of those guys will perform at the college level.
