Trey Amos in the portal

[MelRock]

Per Maggard Trey Frazier is not a fundraising person who’ll be seen out in the community raising funds. He is a numbers guy responsible for fiscal facility/ projects/ RCAF financial budgetary planning cost projections and cost tracking. Maggard says Trey is extremely proficient in this area.

Also per Maggard, Brandon Domingue and David Schexnayder are responsible for fund raising and both will be visible in the community.

All you say is correct, but he is over the RCAF.

1) We are no where near Baldwin era anything.
2) The BCS has been gone for a LOOONG time.
3) Tulane had one pop season and in their market, the media has staying power. They have a long way to go to sustain success.

My bad on BCS I meant College Playoff and call it what you want but they are being talked about which means they will definitely get recruits over us we are probably being compared to McNeese. Where college football has evolved today and where we are I feel it very compatible to the bustle/baldwin years just count the fans in the stands. Thats the point no matter what state you see our program in we MISSED THE BOAT. It's depressing how do you contribute money to this crap. I feel like our coach is in hiding and is a bull headed fool for not using the portal. Not every kid goes in the portal for NIL money some want the opportunity to play ball.

Right. Don't need to get in a bidding war, there are only so many slots available at schools who are in bidding wars.

"Meaning" there are a lot of athletes with great upside who will need a place to play regardless of pay.

Louisiana just needs to be proactive in scouting them out.

At least now you don't have to travel cross country to watch them play in high school.

I get it now. You want to trade our best players for the players they don’t want anymore.

Yes those nobody else wants to pay for either.

I get it.

"to fundraise on both academic and athletic sides"

Thats the whole problem right there. For those two things to reach their fullest potential, the need to be completely separate from each other.

There are positions dedicated to both. Or at least there will be.

Wake me up when that happens.

Coach will need to eventually utilize portal to stay competitive. I don't like the path college football has moved towards but it is the hand we have been dealt.

Fritz was 31-43 at Tulane before last year and 2-10 the year before, what boat did we miss? Looks like we are way ahead of that wave to me. People do not realize just how close Napier's 13-1 and Mikes 6-7 teams were to both being 9/10 win teams.

But at the end of the day, they weren’t close.

6-6 and building up h/s kids is fools gold. Soon as they develop, they’re bought and gone.

They were very close and Napier had the advantage of everybody returning after a free covid year. Desormeaux had the first real year of portal and NIL yet both Teams were a handful of plays away from 9-10 wins. The 6th and 7th year players obviously had the intangibles you gain from Playing together for 4 years and last years team didn’t

I don't think you get it, at least not yet.

The given is that Louisiana is losing players it elevated.

The question is how is Louisiana going to replace them?

Do you only replace them with unknown high-school players that very few wanted, or do you replace them with formerly highly sought after players who found themselves riding the bench and just need a chance to redeem themselves?
