Transfer Portal is temporarily closed.

Did you see us play in the games? That should answer why.

Large majority of teams in regular season are: 4-8, 5-7, 6-6, 7-5 or 8-4 and loaded with non all conference players. 4 in portal or fewer at this point is still a exceptionally low # in this group....a statistical anomaly.. it is that low. It may change in next 4 days........we'll see.

Time to go striper fishing....been catching very big bass last 3 days w/17 caught over 5 lbs. Biggest was 22 lbs. Based on my past history fishing Texoma in winter.......also a statistical anomaly. ;-)

The powers that be crave chaos.

No, I'm sure there is rationale. Or at least they told themselves there was. But in this world of opt outs, the opportunity to leave after the regular season but during bowl season impacts over 50% of FBS teams. That waters competition down even more when it's already a thin broth.

They probably thoight the bowl teams would have to stay still because of this and it could have been a veiled attempt to help the little guy.... but fingers are always crossed since big boys make the rules

Not really...i propose you dont need an 85 man roster to play a bowl. Also i believe all the walkons past 85 are invited to the bowl as well. Then they also changed the red shirt rule again and said the bowl does not count against the 4 game red shirt rule.

IMO....it would benefit UL/G5 to move the early signing date to late Aug-Early Sept.

Lol. Then everyone can leave if they have to stay in dorms?

[Policarp]

Any news on visits?....any offers? The sheer numbers of 3 and 4 star with experience available in portal that could contribute immediately....

The portal has been brutal in recent years for UL, it would be nice to finish strong, the aggressor for once. With very few outbound.....Golden opportunity for Des and staff to flip the narrative.

Whose bright idea was it to have the portal open before the bowl season was done?

my understanding is the academic calendar plays a large role in the portal window being open when it is. opening after the bowl games would be a huge plus for athletics.

also, expect to see mini cycles with teams that win and compete for conference championships. hit hard with portal out guys, then low year for the rebuild, another low year during development, hit hard again after winning. Cajuns had our hard hits 2 years ago. expect next season to potentially be a successful year, with lots of portal out guys at the end of the season.

Basically everything Will Wade was trying to do at LSU in buying players is now fully endorsed by NCAA......Business As Usual.

Basically everything that USL did and got the death penalty is legal now.

Except most of it was legal then as well

There are just too many variables at this point with the current chaos in college football.

The game within the game has exploded in size and complexity.

People may not be leaving because there is nowhere for them to go. I wonder what the turnover via the portal is for winning schools versus poor performing schools?

Well Georgia has 15 players in the portal

15......That is right at the average per team. Several schools are in the 20's.....one from belt, Coastal. Billy needs 1 more to make it to 20.
