2026 Portal QBs

No, we don’t. We are opening the season against an unknown ACC opponent. And based on the trajectory of this program, it’s probably going to be against a name-brand program. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s FSU or VT.

FSU plays New Mexico State on August 29. VT and Clemson are open, but making Clemson play Miami and LSU back to back would be a thing.

I work with QB's of all ages in TX. 6 years old up to P4. I can not figure out for the life of me how the Emory Williams and Judd Anderson evals happened. Those guys would be lucky to get a G5 spot. Neither of them had anything on their HS tapes or resumes that justify being offered by the U. I understand frame, but holy **** man they are statues that aren't even elite throwers. You have to be at least a little mobile (Beck), but if you're not then you better be Brady-esque throwing the football and processing coverage. They are neither. Boggles my mind how they even got in.
This is not an endorsement, but Judd absolutely blows Beck away from an athleticism/mobility standpoint so not sure where that take is coming from.

Does he deserve $5M? No. But when you have literally no other options you pay what it takes. Simple supply and demand. Econ 101
Okay, so why not $10M?

...because Value and ROI become more prominent metrics for decision-making in an inflated market. The fundamental laws of supply and demand still operate, but their outcomes are influenced by the unique conditions of an inflated economy.
 
When does the portal close?
Players have to notify their current team that they will enter by the end of the day, today. Team then has 48hours to process the request....a student can withdraws enrollment and enroll elsewhere according to the school academic calendar.
 
NIL has thrown a wrench in a lot of the traditional logic.

Good point. Things change, but ****. We clung to that narrative forever. Seemed sound, and here we are (uncertain about QB1).

Doesn't mean the staff is, just us, and that blows.

It's obviously all worth it if we land a stud...

Who cares about Monday night? I've moved on. I need confirmation that this thread will stay unlocked on Monday night. I've been working on a book about Emory, I need some edits Monday around 8:00.
I am more likely to lock the game threads than I am this one.

It’s actually kinda annoying that we have to deal with the distraction of a game on Monday night.
