Still 700 players in the portal let’s see how it shakes out.Can we?
Disagree. We have plenty of offers out to portal players who could help us at positions of need, and generally at positions where the coaching staff is stable. I fully expect the portal to yield some pleasant surprises once our offensive staff is in place.Shoulda been beating that drum far earlier think that was a huge mistake in Dino’s part tho I think it’s obvious he realizes that now
Once the coaching staff gets put together you will see more names from the Portal / JUCO. become available.Shoulda been beating that drum far earlier think that was a huge mistake in Dino’s part tho I think it’s obvious he realizes that now
What exactly was a huge mistake?Shoulda been beating that drum far earlier think that was a huge mistake in Dino’s part tho I think it’s obvious he realizes that now
Not hitting the transfer portal like other coaches. we still had spots open on the roster at the beginning of the season that could have been fillled with portal kids…. Him saying at the beginning of the year his hesitancy to use the portal.What exactly was a huge mistake?
I’m not talking now I am talking about this just previously passed seasonDisagree.

So that list doesn’t even remotely bother me because it is just a moment in time and what matters is not what things look like in December but rather the following August when camps start. Tons of time.
I suspect the coaches were more plugged into the portal than you suggest.Not hitting the transfer portal like other coaches. we still had spots open on the roster at the beginning of the season that could have been fillled with portal kids….

That’s only 3 players weren’t there like 5-6 spots left on the roster we never filled and left open for the 2021 season? We used it but we didn’t “pound it”I suspect the coaches were more plugged into the portal than you suggest.
I would guess there were others we tried to get but went elsewhere. Unfortunately The portal is not a supermarket.That’s only 3 players weren’t there like 5-6 spots left on the roster we never filled and left open for the 2021 season? We used it but we didn’t “pound it”

It's possible we attempted to recruit guys that could've helped us that decided to go elsewhere. It's a two way street. We can't just claim guys off the waiver wire.That’s only 3 players weren’t there like 5-6 spots left on the roster we never filled and left open for the 2021 season?

Do you realize how many players didn’t find a home after the Covid season it’s in the 100’s your telling me there’s not 5-6 depth guys that could’ve been productive? You do realize our lack of depth is what killed us the last 3 games. You need those guysWhat makes you think every kid in the portal is an upgrade over what we already have?
It makes no sense to tie up a scholarship for 2-3 years for a kid who'll never play here just so we can say we used up all 85.

Competition breeds successNobody enters the portal so they can end up as a "depth guy" somewhere else.
Kids want to start
Dino has a very rational and measured take on portal players. Nothing he has said about it is untrue and I would expect nothing less from someone who knows the coaching profession. It does not mean he will not work the portal and search for the right kids and offer when the opportunity arisesNot hitting the transfer portal like other coaches. we still had spots open on the roster at the beginning of the season that could have been fillled with portal kids….
