Message: [QUOTE="jdubs30, post: 5376500, member: 1620"] Everyone will be more prepared for the portal this time around, not just us. I assume most programs (at least the ones in good health) will have more money than last year. We will also have to pay a Red tax. If us and StJohns are offering a kid $1M, it’s very unlikely the kid chooses the team that won 14 games last year. We are going to have pay more in most circumstances if we’re going up against good programs for similar players. Maybe we’ll get lucky and get a few under the radar guys who end up being better than expected. Maybe a Red/Straugn prior relationship with certain players (ex. Fleming) will give us a leg up. But it’s hard to imagine any of the top portal guys giving us a serious look [/QUOTE]
