2024-25 Portal

These QBs are coming off the board pretty quickly

Yeah. Would like to see us land the replacement or the guy competing for #1 with Williams quick here. Time is moving fast and I think clarifying the QB situation sets the table for the rest of the month and into Jan for portal upgrades elsewhere.
 
some dudes with overinflated opinions of their ability are in for a rude awakening.
Some dudes? More like thousands upon thousands of dudes. And a significant number of those will never finish their schooling. It’s a terrible shame what the systematic changes have done.

Agreed. And no telling how many of these were pushed into the portal or misled into believing it would provide a better situation. Not just by teams but also by family and opportunists who find ways to attach themselves to potential success.

Having a union or even a standardized base contract for all players would be a good start for providing some protections for young athletes

Sometimes coaches push players into the portal too.

It’s hasn’t even been a week and we have our first Fran Brown vs Bill Belichick recruiting showdown.
Yeah will be interesting, BB can flash his Super Bowl rings, Fran can flash his National Championship ring and on a much more personal level can connect with this kid about their backgrounds. He is from East St. Louis, Illinois which is basically the Camden of the Midwest

Serious question. I know we have NIL $ but can we compete with UNC that’s significantly increasing theirs if they’re able to throw a boatload of $ at this kid.
 
We will see but I feel Fran will not overpay for a player. Feel he and the coaches are good talent evaluators and know value versus overpaying.
 
BB doesn't exactly have a rep for overpaying either

LOL!! True dat.

That said - there’s no NIL salary cap, and it ain’t his $.

So I’m sure he’ll be happy to throw other peoples $ around, if it’ll make him more successful.
 
The boosters are also stepping up “bigly” so what’s he care as long as he gets the players.
