Tears Nole Tears (“Offcial”)

These guys don’t understand they are a portal miss away from irrelevancy once again. If they miss on even 2-3 guys they bring from the portal it’s a wrap.
Kidding aside, do you think it might be a sustainable operating model? Not for one year, but permanently having the majority of each year’s signings to be portal players? It would seem that with portal players you would have:

1) More film and be able to better gauge their potential at a P5 level
2) They are older by default and don’t have to acclimate to college, nor need to gain weight in a college S&C program

There are always multiple ways to do things, but training someone how to do something the way you want them to do it from a younger age has its advantages in a lot of businesses. Don’t know if it applies here but a kid coming from another program that is not as hard on them or one coming straight from high school and only knowing how to do it pedal to the medal may produce more fruit in the long run but IDK it’s an interesting argument.

If I were FSU, I’d do exactly what they are doing — spending the majority of my money in the portal and on roster maintenance. You have to be more risk averse on a budget.

The goal should be to treat the portal like nfl free agency.

You should be trying to get a couple of top guys to plug whatever holes or misses you have on your roster.

Your culture is best maintained by kids that have been in since high school.
 
Awe Lubie is mad!!

No. The rules are changing and if a team gives a scholarship to a guy in the portal its gotta be honored for the entire remainder of the player's eligibility. That means you can't afford to miss an evaluation on anyone who has more than 1 year left because you're stuck.

The real lyrics...

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the Seminoles must come together as one
There are toilets leaking
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to repair
That rusty trough urinal
We can't go on
Pretending day-by-day
That somehow, someday we'll soon be restored
We're all a part of one farcical big joke
And the truth, you know, relegation is all we need
We are the Noles
We are abhorrent
We are the ones who make you laugh and groan, so let's start 'cruitin
There's a choice we're making
We've peaked a nine whole wins
It's true we're the biggest joke in history
