Lincoln Pare to the transfer Protal

As time goes by the #1 method that will be used to push an existing player out the other end of the straw will be to extreme low ball the NIL they got the year before.

For every portal player that Saban sucks in, he will be spitting out a high school recruit he has lost patience with.

There will be a plethora of affordable portal players at every position.

Bargains may not be worth. anything.

Bargains may not be worth. anything.

So true, especially if they are a head case.

The talent graveyard victims may no longer be considered a 5, but they can play as a high 3 for the portal observant.

Turbine means that you should not rely strictly on HS, JUCO, or portal to build your team nor should you make a point to not use any particular one of them. All options should be considered.

Most people got that.

I was told the top NIL deals at UL average around $17K, that is not including the stipend. I'm not certain all are getting paid that kind of money. But keep in mind, we are talking about getting athletes from the portal, so we better at least pay that kind of money. TCU is paying our former RB $35K. That's double what we have at UL.

Are those NIL numbers annual?

Saban can afford to adapt by paying top NIL money. We are not bidding for top OL or DL linemen with $17K in NIL money. We might get a project or depth but it's simply not living in reality to think that is a position we can go after in the portal.

Now athletes like CB Martin, WR Jefferson or RB Kibodi are more in line with the NIL we can pay.

The university can’t pay NIL deals. That has to be between a private entity and the student athlete. Who are the businesses paying the moneys?

Oh, so now you blindly speak for “most people.” Source . . .

Both the payor and the athlete may say “none of your business”

What does a good back/starter get paid?

I didn't think that needed to be clarified. But they do help facilitate those deals through Mrs. Russo's group and others. Infact social media has been used frequently to ask local businesses to get involved. There is an education process for business owners that want get involved.

Not sure, you ask the athletic department who can give you those answers.
