The bag game has ALWAYS involved ongoing payments. It's only in fans minds that kids get some massive amount pre-signing and then are trusted to stick around and do the work. What business operates that way? Kida at all these programs would blow the money and be on the first bus home 2 weeks...

Methadone is a 'necessary evil' too, but you're still an addict if you take it. That's kinda the situation here. Reliance on transfers may make sense in the short-term (as you note), but it's a sign of a problem, not a solution.

the lack of control is a positive, imo.

but that isn’t a portal rule, i don’t think. that’s a temporary thing for covid. maybe i’m confused but don’t think they took away the sit rule, did they?

That’s true but the controlling limit is still roster space. It caused a bump but it will normalize.

Again, if you don’t change the 85 roster limit or 25 initial counter limit, the portal is irrelevant in the big picture. And it doesn’t help kids advertise - that’s wrong. In the era of social media every kid with a twitter account can tell the world he’s available. What the portal was...

Of course they count. The point of the dodcussion is get talent that fits our needs, roster and culture, however we can. transfers aren’t new, none of this is new. i pointed out jucos in part because in our own somewhat recent history, several of our best players were jucos - i.e., kids we...

Our issue is overall roster. Nothing wrong with an upgrade at QB. Nothing wrong with any method of improving, but there are messages if you're paying attention.

The ‘importance’ of the portal to any team is a direct function of its roster holes. Properly managed rosters shouldn’t leave much room for portal kids. If this staff does its job right, there shouldn’t be room or need for more than 1 IC portal transfer a year. Maybe you also take a juco kid...

Coker had septtember bowl games. Manny has his spring signing period.

It's just not that hard to know what to do as a program. It's not easy to get it right, but the concepts and processes seem pretty straight forward. Evals, recruiting, roster management, S&C, development, these are very process and data driven activities. Game planning, too.

You must have been born yesterday. Transfers aren’t some mew thing. They rename it the portal and some of you act like it’s a fancy new thing. Bryant McKinnie, Jeremy Shockey and Jerome McDougle came from Juco. Troy Aikman was a transfer. The portal was created to regular\te the wild west...

The portal is nothing more than a way to centralize transfers. Transfers have always happened. Bags have always happened. The kids going SEC aren’t doing it only for the bags. They’re doing it because it’s real cfb and UM has been a shot show for almost two decades. The kids who go and star...
