Class of 2026 2025-26 Portal

[OrangeXtreme]

lol can’t wait until there’s a salary cap for the portal this is crazy for some of these teams.

No need to be Koi, Roy.

If the NCAA created a salary cap it would look like this:

SEC = 25 mill cap for each team
B10 = 25 mill cap
ND = 25 mill cap
ACC = 10 mill cap
B12 = 8 mill cap

* NCAA will only heavily enforce cap violations for the ACC and B12
* all other schools - must provide practice video to the SEC/B10 for any player who might enter the portal

Is Cook gone?

Yes

And the ACC will petition to give only the Southern members a $20 million cap

 

[Oakland]

Yes

Too bad. The last thing I saw about him was that he said he was staying.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

The NCAA always had a cap: it was $0.00, and it was violated by everyone. If they raise the cap to $20M, guess what? It will be violated by everyone.

Frees up $$$ that can be used in other places, good player but not the end of the world.

This^^^

It will just revert back to the way it was before NIL. The cap + under the table $.

If we feel we need a guy and we value him we need to pay period. If we don’t win dome is empty. We need to spend to make money. Period. Or give up cause Fran is only gonna deal with low budget for so long.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, Fran Brown was his primary recruiter.

 

[Newhouser]

not really following too close until the roster is set but I assume we will land more non-P4 guys than P4 guys?

I agree but we need some of them guys. 2 deep at Georgia with his talent could really help us. Spend the money.

 

[orangepassion]

We seem set at CB

 

[sufan59]

We seem set at CB

I can see them adding 1 more to the room for competition, but I personally think it’s our strongest position regardless, so it’s not an issue if they don’t.

Depends on how you look at it.

If you are only counting FBS teams, the math maths. I've seen reports that 4500 players are in the portal. If that is true and your assumptions are:

1. FBS only
2. 4500 is correct
3. Each team has 105 players on its roster,

then 4500 / (105 * 136) = 31.5%. I'm sure that is their calculation.

But I think you have to count FCS teams. Then the math becomes 4500 / (105 * 264) = 16.2%


And that doesn't include players like Marcus Stokes from West Florida - the shiny new toy many folks around here want. West Florida is Division II.

That's my too long way of saying it all depends on your assumptions.

As to your last line, I tend to agree. Many things need to be fixed.

its not even that because every school has 10-20 Srs on the roster as well.

 

[Symphony Steve]

Toledo Safety in portal. Hey, he's from Toledo, so:

 

[wiseman3]

I feel like we badly need an immediate impact DE, more so than any other position. Would love another WR and a Safety as well. Besides Tremble, who is rushing the QB? Need someone

We have 2 freshmen (Rodgers and Wilson) coming in who could be instant impact players if they add weight but yes we need one more pass rusher to come in.

 

[OHIORANGES]

No need to be Koi, Roy.

Just get on the bus, Gus
