Portal numbers are huge again

[CajunRed]

Who is the biggest threat to leave the Cajuns? I think Carter will be tough to hang on to… I hope loyalty to the team is higher on his priority list than chasing a little extra green… we will pay him I just don’t know how much. I encourage everyone to give a little to Krewe Allons to help… I love how the coaches stated they will use NIL to retain and not to buy… we can’t win the bidding wars that is for sure.

Signed up thru Krewe a while back.

Agree at this time focusing $$ on retainage a wise strategy. Then make adjustments year to year as needed. Evidently in Year 3, Coach Des has a good thing going with his coaches and players. We're about to learn how we do on the portal relative to our peers.

Most so far I've seen in portal is Tulsa (don't we play them next year?)

Tulsa 23
UCF 19
LTURd 18
Purdue 16

Pretty easy to ID the trend here

Just looked at Houston. Gant went from 64 tackles to 16.

Zeon had 8 total TDs and 8 interceptions. Didn’t play every game.

UH went 4-8.

From a coaching perspective houston is interesting... in hoops coach sampson wasnt allowed to be in big12 anymore because of suspected violations, so went "down" tonhouston from oklahoma. But then houston now in big 12 and so is sampson again, kind of odd?

How about their other sports do they now have all "big12" level coaches or did the g5 coaches simply move up as well?

Basically suitors have to be careful. It’s not all coaching why those teams were collectively bad.
