So a LB needs surgery, and probly one they/we all were hoping would contribute. Unfortunate.
Makes a portal take even more important.
*So just $.02..when one has inside info. a certain level of patience with other posters is called for. We're ALL fans, and the vast majority are reading bread crumbs and hoping for the best. In the process, there are a lot of times when things don't appear to add up. And while inside info. is appreciated, if the info. is vague/protected, then what benefit is it? And then to come off as in the know AND chastising those acting like fans (fanatics)....
Enough with preaching about being "patient", as if those porsters have actually proven they will listen to logic and explanations.
The bigger problem is with the porsters who read a few articles and then argue, over and over and over again, as if their reading has given them some special insight into our recruiting. Not to mention the situations where people like Cribby share specific inside information that does not ultimately come to pass, and certain porsters treat them as if they "lied" or made a bogus prediction.
Maybe this needs to be repeated: this is an unprecedented situation with the Portal. Completely unprecedented in quantity and quality. At the same time, the NCAA has been as clear as mud when it comes to guidance on ICs, and whether there will be an expansion in the numbers. A thousand Portal kids are going to eat all the high school kids' ICs, or so it seems at this juncture.
So, yes, there are 100 Division I-A coaches and 1,000 Division I-A Portal kids who are playing a nervous game of musical chairs, in a situation where nobody can compare the current landscape to anything we've ever seen before.
Get mad at the NCAA. Curse Emmert. But don't act like people who have some information should share it with everyone, and don't act like those people should be "patient" with others who can't take a hint and keep arguing because they "read" some things and they think they know what's up. And for the record, this is not even the first thread where people have explained that we are STILL talking with Portal LBs. We will take someone. But it won't happen right away.
Being patient with impatient/uninformed porsters is not the solution. The impatient/uninformed need to stop acting like anyone owes them anything. Settle down, we've got over two months to go until we can sign and enroll anyone. Nobody else has a stockpile of ICs to give either.
But there you go again, with conclusions. Because someone tells you about an injury, you make it out to be even more important that we take a Portal LB now. So your impatience and frustration grow.
That's on you. Don't blame others for not sharing information with you.
