Texas State RB Ismail Mahdi visiting Tennessee tomorrow

Volquest is saying no RB visitor today.

 

[Pawleysvol]

Aub and LSU having a "strong" portal cycle we'll see how it pans out

Freeze has to win next season or he’s done. They had to go all out.

Texas State RB Ismail Mahdi visiting Tennessee tomorrow

This would be perfect and would get us back to a three man rotation at RB. Everyone wins

I do think Morris is going to find a way into playing time though.

 

[JT3]

Worth it for one year of DSamp, IMO

Definitely for D Samp!

Was probably just set up late and VQ is unaware. Kid is on Texas time so he might not be on campus yet.

He was just at Arkansas on Monday and left yesterday….I think.

Figured he would come right here.

Fair point though.

Thank you!

NIL Deal from Johnny's Big Burger!

Just love it because Georgia fans were certain he was a bulldog. Instead he’s going to their rival.

Pretty sure this is the second big time receiver uga has whiffed on in the portal this cycle.

I don't understand why any top WRs would choose UGA when they have proven they don't utilize them that well. Pickens is likely a top 15 pick if he went to Bama, LSU, or OSU. I mean if UGA is offering the fattest bag, that is one thing. But you don't go to UGA as a WR if you want to get drafted in 1st round of the NFL draft.

They gotta find a QB first. Jackson Arnold is certainly talented, but he's got to get a lot better at processing plays or Auburn is gonna have to make their offense easier for him.

Well... first position of need addressed. Our portal struggles continue. Only second team all-conference in the PAC-12, really need better quality guys. Was the 4th ranked available IOL in the portal when he committed gotta do better. Am I doing this right?

Boom! Big get here.

 

[Preyed_On]

Ha
You throw the word slave out and then run and hide bc you have no backing…
All your trying to do is cause problems
Shows how much you Know clown…..
Idiots like you are best put on ignore

He’s not running and hiding. He’s ignoring you because you’re getting hung up on a metaphor.

No one cares about free school. And the people who didn’t get it but would’ve “appreciated it” aren’t talented enough to earn it.

Now I’m going to e-flex by saying I’m ignoring you.

…but Callahan said we weren’t recruiting?

 

[chavisut]

Personally, I love the approach Heupel and crew have taken with the portal the last two years.

 

[Preyed_On]

Transfers are fools gold. We've relied on it too much to date and should far less going forward.

Transfers in the starting 22 by the team's ahead of us in the CFB Playoffs:

1. Oregon - 14
2. Georgia - 2
3. Texas - 6
4. Penn State - 3
5. Notre Dame - 4
6. Ohio State - 3

We have 8.

We need to recruit high school better and develop better. Not do more the portal.

Tries to criticize staff over too many transfers…

…posts a list that shows the best team in the country has 2X the amount of transfers in the starting lineup…

Maybe if Ohio state took a few transfer OL, they wouldn’t have gotten eaten alive by Mason Graham.

Ok, WR's getting $1Mill in College? It's time to cap NIL, folks. CFP needs a commish, not named Saban.

PAC-12? What's that?

That would be illegal

That is like saying your boss at the saw mill can tell you that your income from the local car dealer commercials you perform in is capped. That is an NIL agreement between you and the car dealer, a 3rd party cannot interfere in that agreement

It would be smart. These funds are gonna run dry too quick and we’ll lose the parity we see in the sport currently. If we want the sport to continue to thrive, there will have to be a cap

What part of "that would be illegal" did you not understand?

For our economy to continue to thrive, we will have to cap the pay in your industry at $2 above current minimum wage for the next 25 years. See how that is illegal? Because you are suggesting it would be "smart" to do the same and trample other people's rights

It's been talked about dozens of times. You cannot cap NIL. They are essentially endorsement deals. You can't cap how much a player can get on an endorsement deal. If NIke wanted to give Nico a $25 million NIL deal, there is nothing anyone can do about it.
