It's not just the playing time, but the money.
Transfer Portal
- Thread starter MinerDave
- Start date
247 ranked him 174 out of 245 in his position. That's a pretty a high ranking for an unknown???
So are you saying forget the high school kids and just recruit the portal??
Let's just say I'm right it's not important. Let's move on to the next topic ... 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Crazy that it’s becoming this.
What’s stopping a school from becoming a Portal Provider?
For example, Arch Manning signing with UTEP and starting every game for 2 years until it’s his turn to start at Texas.
Get a group of 6 or 7 top Offensive Linemen as Freshman, start them every game for 2 seasons and then that Group is 6 or 7 Juniors with 24 games under their belt, they’ve come up together as a single unit, and now are the starters at Ohio State.
A Major Power 5 just telling a lower school that they will provide kids, they will pay those kids NIL money, and when they are ready, they move up in the pipeline.
Odums is the bigger loss of the two. Will be interesting to see if UTEP can bring in a transfer portal CB or two. UTEP has talented CBs, but they are young. Content, Herring, Gant.
I've been saying for the last year UTEP needs to negotiate this with Texas and their NIL. We will run their offense and defense. They move players up or down as they desire. They use their NIL money to pay kids to play for us until ready.
Don’t redshirt anybody. Play them all for more than 4 games in any capacity. Mix it with JUCO and transfer portal kids.
It’s been like this though. That’s why there’s a group of “realists” that do not celebrate recruiting rankings and have delusional dreams of them becoming studs in 2028.
This won’t happen in an official capacity anytime soon. It undermines any coach. Being forced to take players they don’t want or like, is a non-starter. Some alumni and fans would also have issues with being a feeder school to Michigan or Tennessee too.
I would bet most G5 coaches are content with the fact that their best players will end up transferring to a P4. There’s only a few fans that refuse to accept this notion.
The NCAA doesn’t work like that. It’s not baseball, even if the idea isn’t that wacky.
Those chasing the money, will just sit out games, you can't force them to play more than 4 games. That would also send a bad message to future recruits. Walden just needs to adapt to the current state of college football and I believe he is. Next man up, losing a player sucks... They also only won, 3 games.
Coaches are presumably playing to win. They will play the best players. Also there are just too many players per team to get everybody meaningful time. No reason to play a guy just to spite him because he might transfer.
I wonder if implementing contracts is something the NCAA might do. For example, signing a 2 year contract and getting your NIL money for 2 years but you must stay at that school.
I know this. But I’m done pretending that functionaliy this isn’t what’s happening today. I’m just saying if everyone stopped pretending this is where it would go
A novel idea, You can't tell me this plan couldn't work. I believe the days of red shirting are over for G5 schools.
Tyrin Smith in the portal. Who'd a thunk it?
He's coming back to UTEP. 3rd time is the charm.
How does he still have eligibility?
How many fvckn years does this guy get?
"Cincinnati now has a pretty wide-open hierarchy at wide receiver. Tony Johnson is the only upperclassman in that position room, while he and Barry Jackson are the only non-freshman."

Look: Cincinnati Wide Receiver Entering Transfer Portal
UC has a pretty wide open hierarchy at wide receiver right now.
Head case. Always chasing but never finding paradise."Cincinnati now has a pretty wide-open hierarchy at wide receiver. Tony Johnson is the only upperclassman in that position room, while he and Barry Jackson are the only non-freshman."

He's collecting NIL money. He knows he ain't going to the league. If the NCAA allows it, go ahead and get it.
Still a bum.
Geesh how many years of eligibility is that guy going to get ? Also I thought there were restrictions how many times you could enter the portal. He legit shutdown and quit on UTEP last season
