***Official portal tracker thread***

Seems Big Ten schools have more money than the SEC. It's not a coincidence they started winning national titles when paying players became legal.
This has always been the case. B1G alumni live in bigger cities and I'd be willing to bet make a lot more than SEC grads do holistically. The B1G schools are also massive and each one aside from Northwestern has a massive alumni population.
 
Agreed.....he keeps mentioning how he has no clue what's happening but I get the feeling he doesn't like the new staff or something.....idk I was upset about Campbell leaving for like 48 hours and I moved on.
Listening to the podcast, when he brought up that when Otz was hired by UNLV he flew out to Vegas and rode around with Otz for five days, it hit me. He's going through withdrawal.

#1. Went from being one of the top insiders to being on the outside.
#2. The coaching search lasted minutes instead of days, so nobody was coming to him for info.
#3. CF isn't going to get any portal recruiting info since it's coming from agents/handlers and going directly to the nationals (ESPN, CBS) and network websites (Rivals/On3, 247).
#4. The whole situation of Campbell leaving and the player exodus/NIL situation was national news and was covered in depth.

So I don't think it's a case of not liking the new staff, it's just they don't have time for him (yet).

Finally got the kids to bed and got this flood of commitments updated. Fun times!!


This is AWESOME. Super useful chart.

I'm not sure what 'net' is tho? I was thinking it would be the number of players we would have had for next year (assuming no transfers) to the number of players we have now. Or, maybe the number we have transferring in minus the number transferring out but it's just total currently committed minus total transferred out which doesn't seem as useful - just my 2cents though - the rest of this sheet is amazing!

Thanks for putting it together!
 
A lot of money to pay for a billboard for New Yorkers and tourists who have no clue who he is or care about CFB....seriously is there a city in this country that cares less about CFB?
New Yorkers don't go to Times Square, do they? Besides, it's not like they had it up all day. They probably paid for it to be there for 15 or 30 seconds and have someone take a photo.

The fact that it took Cambell 10 Frickin Years to put a decent O line together is mind blowing.
One explanation is
Rocco could have been a legend had he stayed here... and revered.

At PSU he'd better darn perform... he will be compared to Grunk all season by their fans.
And in my book, he gets a graduate reception- but not a legendary reception like Mr. Brock Purdy or Will McDonald,Breece Hall, David Montgomery, etc... I hope somehow The new and improved Cyclones play Pedo St. In a bowl game and whip some Pedo St. A$$!
