Transfer Portal

If running out of the tunnel to a noisy crowd and then sitting quietly on the bench for 3 hours is his goal I agree with you.

That is where his career will end. With tunnel vision.

If playing at the next level is his goal, he needs to quit listening to the noise in his head and play somewhere that isn't a talent graveyard.

Roughly 6-7% of players eligible get drafted in a given year and almost half of those
Get cut. Most college players deep down know they have zero chance at the league.

$$$$$$$$$

That’s it in a nutshell.

Turbine, what if a player from UL doesn't get excited to run out of our tunnel when theres only 20k fans in the stand, on a good day?

What if he's looking for lifetime memory of running out of a tunnel to 70,000+ fans screaming and the opportunity to play on prime time slots?

While future paydays are certainly a common denominator, it's not always about that.

Then the player should have never signed at UL. I’m sure he saw on his recruiting trip that there wasn’t 70k in the stadium. It’s not like he didn’t know what he was signing up for when he signed.

Can’t blame the people who aren’t fans. But if you enjoy football and go to some UL games you should get to more in order to enhance your enjoyment of the games. Fans provide most of game day atmosphere. Pointless to complain about atmosphere if you miss most games. Just saying.

A silver lining to all of this is there will be no pressure on CMD to repeat the dream season. The SBC board is practically giddy. They think we’re done.

We have the advantage

I moseyed over to the Sunbelt board after reading this but I didn’t get the sense they were giddy at our situation. I mean there are always a couple of beach chicken fans making comments but that’s just par for the course.

I got the sense from the west teams they might have a chance, but other than that most posts seemed to make the point that it sucks for us and a form of sympathy for us.

Maybe I just read it differently, I didn’t see much pointing and laughing.

This is happening everywhere and to every university that has some big-time players.

Maybe these players didn't have P5 options when they signed with us. Or maybe they did, and were told they'd have to prove themselves. Whereas now they have a D1 resume and are better positioned to play?


Opportunities change for athletes, just like everyday workers who bust azz and get recognized for their efforts.

Hunt, Dotson, and Mitchell prove that recognition and a pathway to the NFL exists here in Lafayette. The move is a mistake, IMO

The bust up between UL and Napier seems to be more than the transfer portal. It seems an Maggard and CMD think Napier crossed a line and they are angry about it. Will we ever get the whole story, who knows? With the media in this town, very unlikely.

Torrance for instance was offered by UGA. Kids have to prove themselves at every level once the sign. Again I stand by the statement, if running out in front of 70k is what a kid is motivated by, as you stated his reason for leaving might be, he should have never signed here. Why do yourself an injustice. Shot for what your dreams are.

Going back to B.Mitchell days you could name dozens of examples. If you are good enough they will find you. Doesn’t matter where you are at.
