To Portal or not to Portal ...

[R1Letterman]

Are there any stats as to how many entered the portal but then stayed where they were?

Those are usually the good ones.

Well we just need older guys that don't have the tape from their P5 schools and hope we hit on a couple. Same as taking a JUCO kid.

Colorado has 10 transfers that followed from Jackson State. They also have 26 from other P5 schools. Let's see how the season ends before jumping to conclusions.

One of them was Tyler Brown from UL.

That's true but he hasn't played a down for Colorado so far this year.

I think it’s stupid not to portal we need to use the portal as much as we can to get talent .

How you think our softball teams has are able to compete!! Glasco uses the portal why wouldn’t you use it in football?

That's true but he hasn't played a down for Colorado so far this year.

Well he isn't eligible to play. His waiver was denied.

Hasn't Des publicly said several times that he prefers to coach up his own players instead of trying to land transfers?

The whole flipside of the portal is the chance to get guys who thought they'd get more minutes on a P5 team and bring them here to play a ton..? Hey maybe Trey Amos and his one tackle would like to come back

It’s his 2nd transfer. Does he have to sit out a year?

I was listening to an interview with Phil Steele he was mentioning that most head coaches are telling him they have seen the most success with players from smaller schools that are getting playing time as opposed to those transferring from other P5s that are sitting the bench.....made me think of Michael Jefferson, I remember when announced he was transferring from Alabama State there were a lot on here poo pooing on that but seemed to work out....maybe we need to be looking more at Southland/SWAC/WAC guys that are getting PT that we can coach up....just a thought

Completely agree. These local FCS schools should be our first stop in the Portal. We can find value in there. It's just like grocery shopping. You have to know where to get quality product for cheap.

Wow. That might be quite the accomplishment to be the answer to that trivia question. First (or only?) Transfer portal player sitting out. Do those trivia contest people pay nil?
