***Official portal tracker thread***

Absolutely. At least I hope so.

Fact of the matter is as much as it hurts now, he still gave us the best decade in program history, and stayed in the position way longer than most people would have expected.

A lot probably depends on how well Rogers does. I imagine the better the team performs, the quicker the healing process will be worked through.

Yeah we don't want an entire D2 roster but picking up some guys that have played a lot at a high level in D2 and may have been late bloomers or just complete misses in scouting is a good strategy imo.
The thing that's really weird about this portal is that we are usually looking to the portal for players that will be in the 2-deep, or at least challenge for it. We almost never brought in portal players before to be the practice squad guy, or the 6th on the depth chart. Those would be filled with HS recruits or former walk-ons. But with the complete roster flip, we are bringing in a whole new roster top to bottom, so some of these guys may compete to start, but some of the DII guys might just be the 5th guy on the depth chart. We have no idea what the coaches are thinking when they bring these guys in - but a lot of people seem to react as though they are all intended to be in the 2-deep.

It is a going to be a crazy competitive spring and fall camp, which is excellent for the quality of the team overall, but some might end up with less playing time than they (or we) thought. That's just sports competition with a little bit of a twist
 
It seems like there are many programs out there grabbing DII talent. I think coaches are really trying to pull in value players.
There's probably a lot of value to be found. There are probably a handful of players that are elite, but it's hard for me to believe many of these players are worth the premium they're getting.

I’m logging in and posting for the first time in like two years and timing out 85 times trying to post because I’m still on a 4 year long throttle ban to tell you both that this argument is stupid and you need to move on. Also, **** the Hawks
IT'S MY BOY!!!!
 
Read the room.
I was, it’s just a conflicted room.

It’s horrible that CMC decimated ISU and took so many great players, but it’s also awesome because those players that left are all trash now and CMC is going to be fired soon.

Good news is as bad as CMC was taking all the players from ISU it’s totally awesome when JFR takes all WSU’s players. Just like how it’s so cringe when former ISU players post they are “home” at PSU but when a WSU players post says they are home at ISU they are a loyal son forever true with no cringe in sight!

Think I read that right so far but let me know if my reading compression was off
