OTF Premium Portal of Possibilities

[Bunk Moreland]

I admit that seeing A&M bring in experienced SEC linemen and basically completely rebuild their line while Texas struggles to get a single serviceable OL in the portal is a bit demoralizing.

Maybe Muschamp hasn’t had the chance to speak to Zina yet 😂

Couldn’t make up a more aggy looking person/name that Wilkin Formby

Two of them were probably going to be playing this next year. And no not just because of three guys, it’s three guys I was very high on. I’m just disappointed with everything. No point in getting excited in high school recruiting anymore. Something I had a lot of fun with. 

I think every team is going to reconsider their high school recruiting strategy unfortunately.

This is what I wanted Texas to do. I wanted experienced guys up front to protect Arch. Granted, both tackles are in good shape and Robertson could return at center, but I guess we will just see.

Tell you everything you need to know about Kyle Flood’s recruiting ability. We already know his evaluating ability is trash

A&M bringing in players they demolished is not a good sign lol

I wonder if John Mills is happy in Seattle...

Been wondering the same. That flip seemed minor at the time but turns out it was pretty big

They are purging money that is sitting on the bench. What is the problem with this? Lockett, Terry, Ffrench sitting on the bench making too much money. All the freshmen that came in got the same amount on revenue share + a signing bonus. This year they are only getting the base revenue share amount and no signing bonus. Ffrench was not a top5 receiver on the team so why pay him like a top 5? Welcome to NIL team economics.

Purging money also = purging talent at depth

They need to put feelers out to his agent and offer $$$. At least make UW match them.

Do you think Alabama and LSU are letting good offensive line players walk to other SEC schools?

Fair point. Doesn’t really matter who they bring in if we have them on their asses for 60 minutes.

Oh cool. Now agents are putting themselves in the portal. But yikes, your agent washing their hands when a lawsuit is coming at you

None of us are ready for the Agent Portal

Hopefully this is already happening.

Nick Saban retired at the best time he could.

High school recruiting is dead for power 4 programs. Agents repping college kids have unintentionally tanked the value of high school players beyond the top 20-50 recruits who can have instant impact. They can either come for low value and be developed or they can test their worth with lower P4 and G5 teams. Such an interesting market dynamic.

Would be interesting if the blue bloods stop investing significant NIL in all but a few elite high school recruits, leading the G5 to act as a minor league or developmental league. The blue bloods can then re-invest in the recruits that pan out at the G5 level. That would be wise from an ROI perspective.

I'm guessing James Simon and maybe another young WR are next to enter?
Or maybe a DL

The PORTAL is still OPEN. Wait until the dust settles at some level.

[Traves]

All of this is going to make me care a lot less about high school recruiting moving forward. I wonder what percentage of players will never transfer in their careers? 20%?
