re: Portal Extravaganza - return to Senda edition

Brady Marchese, the WR that decommited from Michigan, seems to be a good player from what I’ve gathered. Would be a great addition if it came to fruition

Piss on whoever tried to say we needed to pay 10 million to get mediocre Drinkpiss

I'd rather have gonorrhea

It takes actual addition by addition to achieve addition.

I am down because I am tired of losing and now we have to heavily repackage the roster. I dont want another cycle.

Hell I wanted to play in a bowl game because I am tired of not doing that. Frick. I hope Golesh knows what he is doing.

We just cant get emotionally attached to these players, and see them for the value to the team. An example, Amaris Williams.

He was a five star we outbid others for at the last minute, a 5 star. He then becomes disgruntled, by his own account his fault. Durkin goes to his home and gets him out of the portal.....probably another pay raise on top of the 5 star price tag. Golesh must have thrown up in his mouth when he saw that price tag, and probably tried to keep from laughing out loud when he came back for a third bite at the apple.

On3 has Traevon Mitchell out of USF rated above him and he is probably less than half the price tag, and I bet far less drama.

Now you have freed up enough money to supplement what you were paying on the edges who have graduated and get an upgrade at that position. And so it goes.

Im not advocating that we "pinch pennies" but people forget EVERY SEC team now has 20 million plus in the budget before boosters pitch in. Its all about properly allocating the funds we have.

I want the record to be able to but bowl games should be moved to exhibition games. The players just don’t care.

Obviously the playoffs are a different animal that still tries to incorporate the bowls but that like everything else is just for more money.

It was interesting to see Houston’s billionaire booster getting interviewed and saying this yr set there baseline and he was excited for the portal to open. If we think boosters are meddling that is just crazy

These schools like Houston, TT, BYU, and others are going all in and have unlimited funds. It’s gonna be wild the next few yrs.

Boosters have been fricking with AU football since you were in diapers, junior.

It’s not the money/NIL, it’s the portal with unlimited anytime free agency. A rookie in Pro Football (NFL) has to stay on the team that drafts them for 4-5 years. College has open free agency all the time,

They should make any signee commit to three years. Transfer Sr year if you need to and have a coach leaving caveat where they may leave if they have at least two years in. Theee has to be some control. If you had controls, the money would come down because you wouldn’t have bidding wars annually driving up the prices.

What does this mean exactly? Simmons is returning? Deuce is staying (always thought he would). CD signed at Alabama and is practicing with the team now but anything can happen.

Think it’s a big nothing burger.
