Trey Amos in the portal

[CrazyCajun]

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.

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 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.

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?

I have little hope in next season. Teams like USM & South Alabama for starters, have the bulk of their teams back with key starters. Throw in portal players have the advantage of being physically ready opposed to players right out of high school, it’s a mountain to climb. Hope I’m wrong, but it looks like a duck, we’ll see if it walks and quacks this fall.

Worried about attendance? We should be. Nothing decreases attendance in ANY stadium faster than losing.

I think we'll be OK but that's about it. I think another 6 win season is in store hopefully.

Trey had 14 p5 offers within 24 hours of entering the portal. Maybe more now. It’s amazing how all these teams were ready with offers so quickly. Just lucky, I guess.

I was talking with SlickRick last night at the softball game and he made a great point about kids that are in the portal. We all know that Des doesn't want to use the portal, but he will have to at some point. SlickRick suggested any current kid in the portal that UL previous offered should be re offered again.

I thought the same thing this morning just in jest. It would have been funny to see our logo on some of these sites following his re-recruitment.

But I can imagine it might happen at some point with some player. That’s just how silly this all is.

Like a pro player holding out for a better contract or requesting a trade. That’s that nil and the portal are for in a lot of cases.

I’m not that surprised. These coaches are prepared for the portal period and are constantly monitoring it when it’s open

Winning didn’t seem to help much either. We need more ties??

We are now a farm team for P5s. Get used to the saying 'One and Done". Kid has one year of success here and he portals out. I'm done with college athletics!
