Message: [QUOTE="Xanadu, post: 4651860, member: 4884"] Honestly, I’m not sure how much NIL is a factor vs the availability of the portal. Three stars that develop rapidly and play well at smaller schools become a better bet than an unproven 4 star HS athlete that will take a year or to see the field. The top 35 programs are taking advantage of this and the players know that this presents an opportunity to play on a bigger stage. If HCDB finds a way to consistently win and compete then I think this goes away. NIL is a factor, but it’s not the factor. It feels like it’s becoming more of an excuse than anything else. [/QUOTE]
