***Official portal tracker thread***

Spring semester starts Jan 20 I believe. Will most or perhaps all of the committed incoming transfers be on campus then? I would imagine there's no need to wait until summer.

That's why the portal exists, so, yeah.

Watching the game last night, i see why the new coaches are loading up with the OL and DL. Miami was winning that battle last night. I hope that is what ISU will be like with this new team. What do you guy think? That was really impressive.

I don't think we will be like that.

LSU's offer to Sorsby got leaked, 3.5 million. TTU reportedly in the 5 range, as mentioned.

The 'leak' consists of a pdf screenshot anyone can create out of thin air? Surely totally legit, then, I'm sure.

 

[StPaulCyclone]

I am not sure any NIL number is correct. Blum said the number floated around about Abu's NIL was way over inflated. I would be surprised if Sorsby is getting $5 million or Rocco is getting $3.5 million. Maybe they are, but have a hard time believing it.

"NIL" is also being used as a catch-all for both Rev Share and NIL. Semantics matter and hope that the media, and subsequently fans, begin to understand and delineate better between the two. Could be Sorby's total package from Rev Share and actual NIL deals in close to $5MM.

Looks like Cincy has $1 million coming to them:

I actually like the idea of buyouts for the school losing the player.

So....when does this current cycle of madness come to a close? The 16th?

Huge! And he would have been a Jake Dickert recruit to WSU. This a big time get.

ISU has a chance to be elite in the trenches. Wild.

Never.
The 16th is the entry deadline for non-CFP teams. Portal entrants do not have to be committed by the 16th. CFP participants can enter the portal a week after the 16th.
(IIRC)

I'd like to stop seeing the word elite and replace it with damn good.

Well that's brutal then. I was thinking there might be a calm in the storm. Wishful thinking. Thanks, Dandy!

If he leaves Ames without a commitment, I think we can write this one off..

I would LOVE to see ISU pre-negotiate buyouts. The NFL allows for draft compensation for losing a free agent, why should CFB getting NIL money via a buyout if you sign someone from another school.

This could be a HUGE revenue producer for small schools as well, who are glorified farm systems now

Old and busted: Three man front

New hotness: Hockey style line changes of entire D-lines.

It's practical if someone contracts with a player for a years worth of NIL and they bolt to a new school after five months that they should forego an amount greater than their monthly payment for the service they would have provided for creating the issue. Lets call it 20% of the total value of the deal for the year.

If Player X has a $120,000 endorsement starting July 1 and leaves Dec 5th, they'd receive about $50k of the endorsement value before leaving town with their new school buying out $24,000 when they leave to make up for the fact that the endorser did not get the value agreed upon. OF course this would have to be standardized across the industry of college sports or it would never fly, but that seems as though it would be a reasonable penalty.

I haven’t been following this thread very closely (because the site crashes every damn time), but has the Isaac Terrell commitment been added? Huge.

I’ve been holding back since Campbell decided to leave, because I wanted to see how things went first.

I’m now comfortable saying Rogers and staff seem to be killing it!

EVAN HAS TAKEN IT DOWN VIA IG, guessing somebody jumped to quick
