***Official portal tracker thread***

You think if they were forced to stay through spring, most would stay? A few maybe, but most still would transfer. And they wouldn't want to risk an injury prior to that. Coaches wouldn't want them to stay either if they weren't in the plans for next year.

If that were a local Iowa State rule, it would kill recruiting. No way would that ever be an NCAA rule.

That's fine. Then they play in the bowl game and transfer when the semester is over. NCAA needs to move the portal back.

I’d be very surprised if that’s accurate. I’ve already seen a handful of ISU transfers today that don’t even have PSU as a visit on their schedule.

Who knows some of these guys might just be going on visits to go on visits and enjoy the process again. They might already know they are going to Penn State so why not get pampered.

No, what I responded to was this...........




Because no they weren't. And they didn't.

You want to split hairs.......see a barber. You want to put words in my mouth, try again.

There is a next level for ISU in football. Can coach Rogers get them there.......we will see. Because it certainly wasn't or won't be Matt Campbell. He did a great job when he was here. He is gone. I am now hoping coach Rogers can get us to where Matt could not.

That’s certainly an opinion one can have.

Unsolicited advice: The “barber” line probably sounded significantly less douchey in your head than it comes off on the screen. You might want to not use that one.

It's not about more would stay. Although that might be the case with a coaching change because kids would go through the new coaches S&C program.

It's more about trying to create a calendar that isn't built with conflict like it is today.
  1. HS school players sign and coaches are still shifting jobs.
  2. Kids and their agents are actively negotiating pay-for-play deals at new schools, but still playing at current school.
  3. Portal isn't open, but players are "entering the portal"
  4. The portal opens on Jan 2 and some schools start their spring semester as early as Jan 12
Some of the above could be fixed by having the Playoffs finish by around Jan 1 like Dan Lanning suggested. But that still creates a hectic environment for coaches and players.

So why not consider Saban's suggestion of moving the portal until late spring semester. It would allow for a logical sequence:
  1. Games are Played Without Outside Chaos (Regular Season & Playoff)
  2. New Coaches Interviewed & Hired
  3. Current Roster Players Focus on Recovery and S&C Most of Spring Semester
  4. HS Recruit Signing Date in February (New Coaches in Jobs 30 days)
  5. Open Portal late spring. I believe Saban even suggested after Spring Semester Finals in May.
  6. Players Report to Campus in June like they do today. But allow for spring practice in summer or NFL OTA approach.
  7. Fall Practice Starts August 1
