Having watched too many midweek CUSA games this year, he has terrible ingame body language - ineffable "doesn't seem like a good teammate" energy. Talented, though he won't be picking on the little sisters of the poor (and losing to Kennesaw State) anymore.

Sounds like we're going all in on Mendoza from Cal now.

Well, then the entire thing boils down to "Sark doesn't want to match the highest offer" and not any of the other stuff you've been talking about. 

I can't speak on Texas's willingness to pony up for a WR, but I can assure you that nothing about a Sark or Manning led offense can be construed as a negative to a player who is truly considering "a combination of variables." 

How many responses to that know-nothing dildo are you going to provide before you realize that it is a strange game and the only way to win is not to play?

Sounds like grades issue....as in didn't have them

Sounds like someone came in from the top ropes just as they'd settled on Michigan.

I don't think that guy is worth a dime, but good luck to all of them.

This isn't a simulated or artifical reality. It's the real world. Human nature and real world variables are going to factor in greatly. 

That said, all this was about is the fact there are several factors working against Sark getting a top end portal receiver. We obviously aren't getting a Sark or Arch Manning discount due to these factors this season. If he wants a Singleton level guy he's going to have to at minimum match the highest offer. Maybe that wouldn't be enough depending on who the kid prefers. 

Looking neurotic also has its negative downsides it can make you look desperate, just stick to the fundamentals. If Singleton just wants a paycheck then that is it, it is all he wants then this talk about Bond,Golden, and Bolden is just that overthinking it. I am sure the coaches are aware of his priorities.

You guys are too poor to be doing that. There are some big $$$ NIL schools working on Mendoza. It will be crazy if he winds up at UCLA.

It feels like the more scuffed version of the Will Howard sweepstakes where I'm just baffled at the level of school fighting over him the same way I couldn't get USC/OSU having Howard as their #1 prio

Don't need to overpay for portal wide receivers, imo.

It is only overpaying if you can win it all without them or you just don't have the money. I think we likely have the money. Let's see if we win a title in the next 3-4 years. I hope we do.

We've earmarked a pretty big portion of NIL for QB, as I understand it (multi 7 figures).

“We probably had Eric Singleton in the bag until Auburn, with Hugh Freeze as playcaller and Jackson Arnold as QB, sent Singleton and his agent a PFF screenshot of Silas Bolden’s snap counts.” -Hermanator, probably

Is there a quality of player difference between December portal and spring portal?

It is year by year of course but there is a slight overall trend, mostly because of the December portal has coaches firing or retiring, while the portal opens after a coaching change regardless of deadline they tend to lump around the first window group of players.

247 had 6 5* transfers last year, 4 from Bama and 2 from Aggie. Proctor being a special case in both windows.

Im sure Ohio st has decent DL for the spring portal we can use. Tennessee will put Day out of his and their misery Saturday night.

On another note, I wonder how many children LSU sold into slavery for this latest portal blitz. 

Nothing like that, they just closed a couple of hospitals and EMT departments. No big deal

New window would open for 30 days for Ohio State players if that happened

@Sbbruin might have a point about UCLA having cash to spend

 

I know we're pitching revenue sharing as part of the deal.  To the tune of like $150K per player.  Now I don't know if that means all players on schollie, or what.

The 3 game stretch when Arch was the QB he had 12 receptions for 252 yds and 2 TDs

All the games since he's had 13 receptions for 168 yds and 2 TDs. 

 

 

Well, Arch is our QB next year. So this reasoning is shit with regards to transfers that will be playing next year.

You think that guy could get a word in edgewise versus those 4 members of the symphony autista? He'd be as lost as Helobious in a room full of women, unsure what the fuck he was supposed to do with his hands.

Are you being forced to read it?

I guess you're of the sadomasochistic persuasion. Based on your posts it checks out. You're a weird, abrasive, off putting dude
