How many do we get out of the portal?

I think we need to hit the portal hard this time as long as the players we need are there! I wonder what the average pay per player is for getting someone out of there? What percentage do you think are in there just for more money as compared to those just looking for a new beginning?

We may need linebackers. Losing three between Hill, Lawson, and Jefferson

Agreed but we need difference makers and not some dude who was a 3rd team DE at Temple. Not sure what the criteria is for getting guys but as I often tell my wife, you don’t get something for nothing.

A lot I hope. We need OL DL RB LB. We may need more than we have NIL for.

This.
We need to evaluate well and spend on day 1 starters.
3 OL
2 DL
2 LB
1 RB
1 WR
1 QB- Ty leaves, Mack transfers, KR starts and we need to bring in a solid veteran backup QB...not spending for a starter, but maybe a lower level guy with a good number of starts under his belt. #2 QB can't be a true freshman.

We’re pretty good on receivers but Coleman is at least visiting. I think he goes to Texas in the end though.

I think we're fine at WR...Hale did leave, but if we can get an elite talent at a good value (yeah, I know lol) maybe we pull the trigger. We do have Coleman's position coach now...not sure if they had a close relationship, but you'd think so...but most are just "give me every dollar" guys now sadly.

We need money spent on OL, RB, TE, DL, and LB the most. New coaches for OL and RB for sure.

I had mentioned earlier in the season that if Ty leaves (and I think he does either enter the draft or move on to another school), the loser of the QB (Austin Mack or Keelon Russell) battle will move on too. While in a perfect world we could get some guy with experience to come in, it’s kind of a long shot because that kind of guy wants to start.
Maybe a guy from the FCS level who had some starts and put up some at least pretty good numbers?

They can't.
The portal is only open for 15 days.
It won't open again until next January.

The portal isn’t as easy as it sounds. A hot name creates an insane bidding war. The Cincy QB who is considered the top QB in the portal is rumored to have a $7 million offer from Texas Tech. His girlfriend just transferred to Tech. They saw what they were lacking against Oregon so they’re going to just buy it, no matter the cost.
I’m hearing similar stuff about Cam Coleman and Texas. They are supposedly offering $4 million. And just to add some circumstantial evidence, Texas’ top deep threat and Arch’s roommate and good friend, Livingstone is in the portal.

If you knew the rules you would know that isn't possible anymore. They wouldn't be able to move till next year's portal.
Yeah yeah everyone who disagrees with you is wrong we know lol.
