The Invisible Hand Ain’t Ever Lied

RVACane said:
I know I’ve brought this Up recently in the board argument of Staff vs Players. I’ve felt the 1st problem is staff - like no way should we ever lose to MTSU - but that there’s plenty to blame on players too this past season. Some of the drool contingent took offense to this and a few of us said we’ll find out real soon what the free market thinks of our players.

I’m glad to finally see some objective forces show us where our players stack up.

The truth is usually “both.” If you haven’t had a good vomit in a while, go check out how our ‘18 and ‘19 classes turned out.

I am highly interested to see where our portal players will end up. I have been on the “we have talent guysm!” train since about 2010, but now we get a true sense of where we stand.

I will list all of the players portaling out below along with my guess for the level they end up. I’d love to see where everyone else thinks they will land. Also an interesting exercise to see how many talent evaluation savants we have, because it seems like we have 150 senior scouts on here at times

I’m giving a range because there are some G5 teams that are better than bottom P5 programs. Definitions are in order on the levels:

Top P5: Top 20 P5 programs (hint: not us)
Mid P5: middle of the pack P5 (hint: us)
Low P5: Really bad P5 teams (hint: Colorado for now)
G5: anyone not P5
FCS: you get it

Put your guesses on record!

WR: Romello Brinson - G5 - Low P5
DT: Jordan Miller - Low P5
RB: Jaylan Knighton - mid P5
DT: Darrell Jackson - Top P5
CB: Isaiah Dunson - G5- FCS
WR: Keyshawn Smith - G5 - Low P5
S: Al Blades Jr. - G5
S: Avantae Williams - Mid P5
S: Keyshawn Washington - FCS
S: Jalen Harrell - FCS
DT: Allan Haye Jr. - G5
LB: Avery Huff - FCS - G5
DE: Elijah Roberts - G5
RB: Thad Franklin - G5 - Low P5
S/LB: Gilbert Frierson - G5 - Low P5

I'm not be a *******. I made 2 comments and left it alone. That happens in ever **** thread on here. Show me a thread any different. I do apologize to the OP for my comments I should have made them more general and not at him, but for you to act all suddenly like you care about threads being off the OP topic is laughable. Just because you and your click find it funny doesn't make the thread any less derailed.

Not sure portal'ing players destination is a good measure how talented a teams is. Plenty of variables still at play beyond landing spot.

True, but it is still a good baseline.

It is by no means an end-all-be-all, but if all of our "talent" that transfers out goes to FCS, G5, and lower P5 schools, then that definitely makes a statement. It's one thing if they become significant contributors at these newer "lower tier" schools and a completely different if they end up in the NFL, but you and I know that rarely happens.

I don’t think that you get to come in here new in 2022 and get to make rules restricting the people with 10’s of thousands of posts making gifs on here.

You need to learn self-awareness and your place.

I agree, and it's not a pretty picture of our roster.

What place is that? Because every thread on this site is derailed at some point but I'm the example? I didn't carry on with OP.

Good perspective..can't stop thinking about effing Jackson going to FSU. Wouldn't be shocked if Miller turned up there too.
Meanwhile we wait..
 
Some of these kids will end up at Indiana, Illinois, MSU, Purdue. The mid level big 10 programs will gladly take any type of scholarship kid from the big 3 in Florida. The kids never seem to develop but they always get a spot and a chance. Good luck to all of them.
 
The guys leaving aren’t starters. Most are leaving because they want playing time. If they’re not good enough to start at Miami why would anyone think they’d transfer to a better program?

Where do people think our good players might end up if they transferred? Would TVD get offers from top programs? What about a guy like Leonard Taylor?

I'll guess the majority make lateral, if not significant steps downward
