I am stating the obvious but players enter the transfer portal for two reasons:
1) playing time
2) NIL/Compensation
(And they are not mutually exclusive)
We have challenges with #2.
IMO #25 - #75 ranked players in Louisiana is probably what most SBC conference teams have a legit shot at recruiting.
Top 25 ranked players are going to LSU or other P4 schools. NIL, stadium atmosphere, conference prestige/competition are all in play at that point.
If we were in the AAC, I could see us having a shot at #15 - #50 ranked players in Louisiana.
CMD is closing a good SBC class.
That could be true about looking in the portal for a QB, but don't forget Daniel Beal-RFR and Coleman Carter-FR are currently on the roster. I was told by someone who actually knows, Carter may have the best arm talent on the team. He's a dual threat with speed too!
If DB stays on the team, he will get better, I have no doubt. Just look at all of the rookie QB's in the NFL that were given up on too soon, only to come back playing at a high level. It's the same in college. Some kids need more time to adjust.
Will we have both Lunch and WH on the team next season? That's a big question! Probably only they know for sure at this time.
