***Official portal tracker thread***

I don't like all the use of "pedo" state. Weirds me out. I'm not sure we should be using the horrible trauma those kids went through as a cheap joke
The truth has a tendency to do that to people. The things that were allowed to go on at Pedo State need never be forgotten. In fact, in my opinion the school should have received the death penalty for what was allowed to continue when those in power knew it was happening. Just my opinion.

And with House Settlement & NIL $ gotta believe every top player at SDSU, NDSU, UND, USD and every other elite FCS team will have money waived in their faces by P4 schools.

IMO this next month is going to create crazy movement across CFB.
Mark Farley was on KXNO after he announced his retirement and he talked about how this was another reason he was ready to retire. His program at UNI was a developmental program and he said he had guys that were being recruited by P4 schools in the middle of the season. He was frustrated that his staff puts in all the time to develop kids that didn't get P4 offers initially and by the time they are ready to start at UNI and be key contributor other schools are just poaching them in the portal.

It's got to be frustrating to coach at FCS schools these days because any time you hit a home run on a diamond in the rough that no one else was offering out of HS they just leave for a bigger school to get paid. NIL and the portal basically just turned college athletics in the minor leagues and FCS schools are basically the minor leagues for FBS now too. As a fan the portal is a double edge sword because when you bring in someone from another school that helps your team you are excited but on the flip side of that you also lose players you have grown to like sometimes too. Would be nice to reign it in a little and have players sign contracts like coaches and pro athletes do so they can't just up and leave at any moment. It's at a point it feels like you have an entirely new roster of players to get to know every year now because there is no longer the loyalty to stay at the school you originally committed to.

Sorry, longer rant than I intended and I have a lot more of that pent up I could write about too...
 
Not sure if this had been stated anywhere. If we get raided at QB, wonder if there is a chance JJ returns home.


Just don't see it. Over the last couple years our QB room would rank:

1. Rocco Becht
2a. Moberly
2b. Manske
4. Kohl

Jimmy Rogers has $13M to spend on his 2026 roster. So we have money to spend on Becht, Moberly or Manske. It's a matter of:
  1. Does Rocco see ISU as his best path to the NFL under the tutelage of Tyler Roehl? And does Jimmy Rogers want to pay Rocco what the open market will pay? Or close enough that Rocco decides to stay (aka hometown discount).
  2. As long as Rogers/Roehl views Manske and/or Moberly as fits (and ready), then ISU will pay Moberly and/or Manske to be it's starting QB in 2026.

There are allusions on Twitter to an exodus from the KU football team. Apparently overpromised but underdelivering on promised NIL. Does anyone know anything of this? I know they have a big donor.
Maybe Jalon Daniels can be convinced to become a Cyclone for his 7th year of college football?
