***Official portal tracker thread***

Worth noting here that the SI headline uses the word "revealed" to sound like actual journalism or investigative work has occurred, when in reality SI is just repackaging a paywalled estimation from On3.

This is not a shot at you, Dead Eye, but just a general note about how that number is being framed. In reality Terrell might be getting half that or double that.

Yeah I don't think anyone knows how much they make. Ill bet they are decent at calculating market value.
 
As far as linebackers go in the games I watched (not all) I would say they were OK at best.

They made plays at times but I always found myself thinking sure wish they were faster with more agility.

I thought LB and WR were our worst positions last year. I'm not very worried about replacing them.

D-line should be good, D-backs should be fine, QB will be fine, RB will be fine, TE will be a big step down, but as long as the block ok, will be fine.

The O-line is my biggest worry. We have no idea how that will come together.

Well, I think we reached peak OLine in year 10 and that was 8-4.

Real chance they’ll be better.
 
SIAP, but is there a end date to the transfer portal? Can you sign players all spring? From an academics standpoint is there any difference between signing a portal player in May or a HS kid since they would both start classes in the fall?

Also says their NIL value, not what they're getting.
 
I think the clickbaity titles are LockedOns schtick. I do listen to a couple of their professional teams and most titles are like that
Yeah I have and do sometimes watch a few of their shows, but the clickbait titles have pretty much turned me off. They put up a title that something is happening, then half the time its not even close to what is happening, or even what is said in the show.

They do this on all their shows, huge breaking news, clickbait title, then its not even close to reality, and not even close to what is discussed.

People, if you have a pod or show or YT or whatever... you can get away with a clickbait title occasionally, but if every title is said clickbait, that is not reality at all, people get sick of it fast and tune out. You are only hurting your views. I say this because I am sure several people with these shows, are regularly on this site. I am sure the Cyclone Locked on host is a regular here. You are not going to have a show like this about ISU without following the most popular ISU forum and news source.
