Some of you need to be educated on what PORTAL football looks like.

It means, you won’t have 2 deep 5/4 star guys across your roster. Those back ups have already transferred out.

It means, your backs up will come from smaller programs, that have potential to develop.

Quit the bitching about guys from Mcneese, Southern….ect.

Exactly, someone has to sit the bench.

I’d like to reiterate the point of, had Chambliss committed to LSU a year ago, nobody would have been happy or excited. There would have been only a 1 page thread about him, and it would have been filled with people asking why LSU is taking a Ferris State QB.

More importantly, it frees up crucial NIL funds to actually go after the stars at QB, EDGE, RB who are the engines of the team.

I keep saying this but a disgruntled former top 200 recruit who flamed out of a blue chip program is a HUGE risk in this era. They demand high payments and often aren’t coachable or willing to play a role. Filling a roster with those guys is a powder keg waiting to blow up in your face.

Im most excited about the smaller school guys. When I see SEC guys leaving stable programs after playing all I envision is our OL leaving us.

Its a lot of guys the scouts.missed on intially and/or had growth development spurts post HS.

Also the new 105 scholly limit allows for us to take more chances on guys who may have development traits we like.

The reality is unless you're absolutely sure the transfer is going to contribute, you don't give them big money. See Nic Anderson and several others.

Worst case scenario is you blow your budget on unmotivated players that give you nothing and they transfer after one year anyway.

Roster hoarding by the big boys is a thing of the past. Some people can’t wrap their head around it.

Can we have at least ONE 4 or 5 star instead of all these non-Power 4 players? That aren’t even ranked?

Yeah, OK to play devils advocate we’ve got almost 4000 players in the transfer portal

Then you also have high school recruiting

So where are all these players going?

I don't remember anyone being overly excited about Burrow or Daniels either.

We know what it looks like, and we don’t like it.

He also would have been on the bench until the same time MVB had to come in this year, just like he did until Austin Simmons went down
