***Official portal tracker thread***

This SI article says that David Coffey is returning. Did he announce that? Also, I really hope we can get this Toledo safety.

I certainly hope Coffey is returning - also Hicks, Jr.
Awls would be an awesome get, too.
 
#69 QB is worth $1-1.5 million? You’re crazy.
I might be and I hope you are right that we can get him for lower. I based paying Raynor similar to what Rocco was making in 2025.

Seems like the market has gone up, if Rocco can make $3M+ this year and top guys are making $5M.

If that's come to fruition, would be the biggest keeper so far. Right there with Zaimir Hawk.

If that’s the case, then just shut down the clearinghouse. No reason to spend the money running that when we all can see it isn’t doing anything.
 
I think this thread should be renamed to *Official Bitchin about the Portal/NIL Thread* and someone should start an actual PORTAL TRACKER thread dedicated to, you know, portal entries tied to ISU (and those who commit to the good guys).

Is that true?

For example, are there going to be P4 starting caliber QBs that don’t command $1M+?

That is an earnest question.

There will be numerous schools who don't spend $1M on their QB.

Imo it's a waste of money to spend 7% or more of your allocation on one player

That the only two commits from the portal are D-II kids doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Is the long snapper on scholarship?

Obviously this is too early to know anything, but I hope Rogers doesn’t turn out to have a chip on his shoulder about small schools having kids talented enough to play P4.
 
I don't think I'm different here; each recruiting class I pick out a fave to follow, based upon his personal story.

A year ago my fave was Ryver Peppers. What a story and that young man has perserved, and excelled! He's one tough, resilient human being.

No word from him about his future, right? Or, did I miss it?
