Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 5089769, member: 297"] What happens when we pull nickels out and Duke writes a blank check for the portal players we want? The problem is actually worse on the portal side because of the timeframe that creates free agent bidding wars and "commitments" meaning less, as we discovered. Plus, I think everyone is really discounting life factors. Get a guy on campus, get him in a role he's happy with, meet his NIL expectations and then life stuff matters. He'll make friends, get a girlfriend, maybe like his academic program and classes more than he thought, believes in his coaches. For as many guys that portaled there are lots of guys that do stay. It's not just a cash grab. [/QUOTE]
