NSD 2022 National Signing Day

[CajunEXPRESS]

I don't recall ever reading a players career story that differentiated as to whether said player signed in the early or late signing period.

I have read stories pointing out which signing "class" he was a part of.

I believe Houston is not differentiation between the two. I believe he’s of the opinion yesterday signing or lack of is more accurate picture of the staff ability now than back in December. I don’t understand that view. Both know who their head coach is.

Think Tim was talking about the jerk in North LA that committed to Grambling “over” the Cajuns and Tiggahs, when in reality, he was never recruited or offered by these schools. I’m sure some of you have seen the video, but this little punk started throwing the hats off the table.. It was so dumb

His parents and coaches should be ashamed of themselves for letting him act that way. Glad he is not a good enough player to actually be recruited by us.

Well, cruised the SBC board today. I know we lost folks to the portal, ULM per one poster lost 18. Don't know if starters or not, but 18...wow.

Colorado has lost 20+

In some ways, we should count our blessings. When you are losing 18-20 players to the portal, either your players are being bought or something is undesirable, possibly toxic.

I wonder how many of the 3,000+ players in the portal have actually found new homes?

I read somewhere there is only around 250 scholarships available at the FBS level now. A large number of these athletes received bad advice.

[Bankruptcyman]

I can't see how someone would give up a scholarship with the mere hope of finding another scholarship. Too many are finding out the grass is not greener and have lost a chance at a free education. If you are having problems where you are, YOU are probably the problem and no one else wants to deal with your problems!

But at least 80% are NOT there for the free education. They are the ones that don't go to class and only want to get drafted. They want money and think NIL is their answer.

[Bankruptcyman]

I wouldn't say 80% but I agree that there are many that do not care about the education and want to get as much as they can for themselves. Many of these will be in for a rude awakening.

Have all of the Louisiana players in the portal landed somewhere else?

Ok so say you get 50K to transfer somewhere and you never make it, barely get playing time, and don’t make it to the NFL. You are stuck wondering if I would have stayed with my first university where I was a starter could I have made the league the rest of your life. That 50K will be spent by a young man in a year or two I promise you because I was a young man at one time. Then what you got?
It just isn’t worth it in most cases. 50K aint ____ in todays world over time.
