Brandon Bishop in the Portal

[CajunT]

Okay and we miss on guys all the time, this guy wears it like I’ve never seen before. Let’s see what he does for us next year, if he provides 2 years of depth then he Was worth it. Most freshmen OL aren’t coming In and providing immediate depth. He was 27th ranked guard coming out of high school and has no off field issues, great kid and teammate, zero issues with the staff bringing in those kinds of guys.

The difference is when you miss on a guy that has only 2 years eligibility left, he's taking away your depth at that position because you have to find another player to build the program from underneath. At least with a true HS signee, or JC with 3 years of eligibility left, if they can't help you right away, you have more time to develop them. Sure, it's always a risk that coaches can miss on any prospect. The natural attrition rate was around 25 percent at one time. But if you are looking at a P5 OL/DL in the portal and he has very little interest, that's a good indicator he is either a bust or a character risk.

Jay Johnson and effrem reed probably thought he was neither. My point is, it’s not like they took some Loud mouth locker room problem that nobody ever heard of. A highly rated recruit from a P5 that runs the Rock, good kid and good grades with inside info from coaches you know.You can’t get much safer than that and his story isn’t finished. Also, for those that want more portal…reacting this way to that guy, isn’t the way to get more portal.

I suspect there are not many here wanting more portal . . .

I meant bringing more in from the portal, heaven forbid they would make a mistake and bring in a guy who is an actual problem.

I believe CMD has it right now . . . also, without the NIL dollars, can he really compete there

Getting more players from the portal has nothing to do with the way anyone is acting here and everything to do with $$$$.

If I were this staff I wouldn’t touch the portal either, bc heaven forbid they make a real mistake on a guy. Guy has done everything asked of him. He didn’t ask to be the only guy taken in the portal but he is wearing it

Brandon Bishops mother was the prettiest girl that I worked with on campus back in the day. She was absolutely gorgeous. She had that skin tone like she was from Grand Marias. Has nothing to do with transferring or the portal just thought I would throw that in.

Yes she’s fine as frog hair
