Spring portal

Posted by CFFO on 12/12/24 at 3:03 pm
I know We all want star players signed right now, But isn’t there also a portal. In spring? Does anyone recall how the talent in the two portals Compare? Is the price driven up later Compared to now?
Play out the scenario where we fired BK. The great recruiting class falls apart. Current players hit the portal. These days with the portal, you have to have a big hire ready to go if you get rid of a coach. So I think that gives BK a bit more time to put his pieces in place. We are all dissatisfied with opening games losses, bad decisions and the uneven team (strong O/weak D). But as long as BK is making improvements (staff/team depth,etc) I see him staying as he is likely better than the alternative.

Question is who is a better alternative?
Sure. A good year but it is always crazy to think of how much we all pay in taxes for the government we get.
Owed a lot. But still less than I thought I might. So that’s a win?
Yeah. I have only watched the second half and that has stood out to me. Several holding calls imo have not been called on KC
Sounds like they were working remote. Would it have been better to go into the office to get fired? Would have bitched about that.
There should be a clawback from BKs contract for every dollar we have to spend buying out his bad hires. Maybe reduce his buyout? Of course that could incentivize him to not make changes but seems like he should feel some pain for his bad decision.

He is a rs sophomore somehow. So he has 2 years left
He needs to hit the transfer portal and play for the US
Regal cinemas changed to Pepsi from coke
He wants to play for LSU. He has a path to start next year. Yeah. I give him some playing time. It may be limited in tight games (if JD is producing). But if I’m CBK, I tell him he will have a few series a game with a chance for more being game dependent. You want to keep him in the fold for sure. Think you stop short of guaranteeing more than that.
Not sure he is forced to do it. I think it makes sense to do it whenever you have a last year QB. It is good to get some reps for the likely successor.

Yes, it may help keep Nuss but it makes sense to do it. It prepares you for next year or injury. Also there may be a need to change up the offense if a JD lead offense sputters.

And I don’t see a big downside to it. JD may not like it, but he isn’t going to do anything about it. There is no portal threat with him.
Would Nuss be ok with 25-30% of the snaps and the lock on starting as a junior?
Sorry. Downvoted thinks you thought he could start at those schools. I agree he is not ready from what I have seen. I’m sure his point is with first team reps he thinks he could be. Not happening at LSU when we have better options now. In other years he would have had the keys throw to him. Luckily we have a better a room than most years in my memory.

Dont see it happening. I think he has shown he wants to be here. Dude could have left when everyone assume Walker was the heir apparent.

Also it is on BK to let him know he has a role next season. Personally I like having him get real experience next year with JD still the starter. And with Daniels a senior he has no leverage to bitch about sharing time.

Finally I think it makes sense to have a second QB option. Some days either due to who is hot or due to matchups we may want to give Nuss more reps.
First Baptist had a good preK ( its been 10+ years for us so Check it out)

He is 3 star so it helps with total points I guess not average rating.

More importantly, how good is he? Has anyone seen him play or study his tape? If we are offering him, I am assuming he is under rated and has the ability to improve a good deal. We should be adding players that we think can contribute I trust the staff that he is that type of player. And with the portal
Guys we added he will have time to develop.
It's OK. I stopped loving her when she got fat
