Josh Pate on the post spring football landscape

[Hoyacane1620]

He spoke at length about what he expects to happen after spring football practices are completed. In his opinion, we haven't seen anything like what he expects to happen....

For reference, Pate has been travelling around the country visiting programs in all conferences...

On which are we going to be? Victims or Victimizers?
It is clear we need first to clear space and then get guys in so we will have to see if we are a better team overall for this year and the next.

I feel like every year every window we hear the same thing. Every year it increases is this really news?

He was at Miami for pro day

Actually, it is. This is the first time that multiple transfer rules and NIL unchecked and NCAA lawsuits coexist in the most wild, wild, wild West moment the College football world has seen.

I hope part of that portal craziness involves UM getting a top WR, because I think we are going to be in a lot of shootouts with our mediocre secondary. Cristobal will have to do best Lincoln Riley impression.

 

[Canesfan1899]

The NCAA has ****ed this up so bad you literally have 2 free agency periods and kids can transfer as many times as they want.

Won’t bother me as long as we get a blue chip rb, corner and safety. Throw in a Dy for good measure, lol.

It is different this yr bc NCAA has no limit on players transferring. They can transfer 10 times if they want.

Nothing holding these kids back now (previously it was the thought of having one transfer only so choosing wisely)


On a side note, pate made a cryptic comment about backfilling for Parrish when he hit the portal. Also separately said he expects Miami to make moves in the spring portal.

He was in Miami last week, so probably got news right from the source.

And D$ brought back the Portal forum.

The reality is that its unfettered free agency, and we are going to lose players that were told to transfer, but likely also lose players we wanted to stay.

Well, that was just a wise decision reversing a tragic error of a beloved part of canes history on this site

And here’s the wonderful thing for those that think this is not news – we will all find out in the next four weeks or so as we can compare what we see happen overall in the spring portal this year versus last year. It will be pretty obvious they will be no gray area. Someone is right and someone is wrong.

Conveniently in time to capitalize on the seismic shift.

Wasn't that rule supposed to be temporary? I don't remember seeing anything on it recently.

It was a temporary ruling at first, and then went into effect because it wasn’t reversed. Hence Kayden

Will be unprecedented and might be a reason that some controls or changes are initiated.

 

[JHallCanes]

I’m ready for the entertainment of our fans that get too attached to players (ones they end up trashing once they start playing but I digress)

I don't doubt what Josh said, but I have a hard believing that Mario (or any other coach with half a brain) would be glib enough to tell a national college football reporter his upcoming transfer portal strategy with specific names. But who knows....

I think its easy to remember that the legal term you are looking for is "que sera, sera". Just close your eyes for the next month and that old feeling will return, and you will be singing in the rain. @TheOriginalCane anything I missed?
