First off, love the lack of memes and AI compositions which are at most cute once but express no meaningful observation nor argument. Now the reality is CFB is a pay for play scheme and the more talented players receive better funding. Yet we contend the student athletes are not employees so have no collective bargaining rights. But the largest problem is that there are no meaningful academic requirements for these student athletes. Instead they are offered a meaningless curriculum like Physical Culture or undefined Leadership majors for which there is no real job market. If the student athletes are not really integrated into the student academic body, then they are merely hired athletes. We need to quit pretending they are scholarship players when there are no common scholastic standard requirements for them. They are merely well paid hired hands.

Lot of guys still on the board. Texas is on the clock

I truly hope we land a starting level OG in the portal the one area we really needed to upgrade and it’s the one area that still hasn’t been addressed

Joe Zura wants to know.

When kids sign two year contracts that are binding, make players enforce them or sit out a year. Oversight and enforcement is non existent.

I think the kid should be allowed for 1 time no-sitting out transfer. If they do it the second time, they should sit in 1 year. I also think we need to put some control on this NIL thing, not so much salary cap, but proper oversight of true NIL vs. Just straight up playing players

This isn’t getting enough love.

Did you hear Siani’ intent to enter. You heard he’s in the portal and an hour later was committed. That’s how industry sources thought OG would go as well. Until the coaches start bringing in other OLs (other than depth pieces) have patience.

Indiana and miami players can submit up until next saturday i believe. And then the schools dont gave to file until tuesday night.

I would add that when you commit somewhere it should be for two years before you get your free transfer. After your second season, one free transfer without sitting out a year.

No it's not we could still se players officially enter on wednesday lol

After checking with sources, found out that it was actually a "point " guard that was considering jumping in the portal. Sources can't release the name of said player, at least for now. 😁

Paperworks is all filed now time to see how that all shakes out.

What do y’all think is a solution to the problem super-late entries pose to teams? For example, assume the Duke/Mensah thing didn’t have a contract dispute at play, and he asked to enter on the last day he could. That’s your whole season right there, if you’re Duke… and the QB market has already happened, and you have no time to entice others to enter. You are totally screwed. One suggestion could be for two distinct phases: one phase for entry, then that closes, and only then can you negotiate directly with players and sign guys. But that disables both players and teams from reacting in real time to what’s happening—a Bo Barnes wouldn’t be able to go find playing time elsewhere after we sign a Biles over him, for example. Players would be forced to choose between staying or entering the portal, before knowing what their team will do. And that would mean essentially everyone would enter the portal to keep their options open. Not a great solution or effect. Thoughts on a better solution?

It’s time for you to go to bed

Well, watching Xavier Lucas, Damon Wilson, the recent kid who "flipped" to Michigan after allegedly being an on campus "short-term signee" at Utah, the Husky QB "j/k" boomerang, etc.... Maybe our guy is just lawyering up for a June move?!

Not going to lie, this was probably the worst portal window ever lol. I couldn't imagine having to be covering this or being apart of it. Was stressing me out and I'm just a fan lol. Thanks for all the hard work by OTF and all the laughs we got a long the way with all the members here. It made the process a little more tolerable.

Thus the caveat. That would be a big clue... let's see if we don't receive a straight answer from the mods over the weekend or on Monday before the game.

By some miracle I hope it’s Bray Lynch at Indiana who graduated from Westlake. Maybe he wants to come home after winning a title.

Do you say this because we have heard from legit sources that he definitely didn't? Or is this the rumor going around? Or is this a statement based on the lack positive evidence that he did? Just curious, thanks

Mysterious guard could be playing in a game next week

Welllll… let’s see what unfolds now 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Seaton on line 1. Have to pay the premium if your mysterious guard didn’t enter.
