Moving the portal window until after the bowls might make a difference. But guys would probably sit out anyway if they planned to transfer.

I think sponsor prices will just decrease for the non-new years/playoff games and playoff games can name their price

He seems to put more effort and resources into the portal. I would not be sad if he flamed out though.

Yeah - I think he's trying to play the underavalued resource of, "we're gonna be the portal team" which is a great idea in basketball. I don't think it's going to work out in football. The portal guys at Wisconsin last year were...fine. For Colorado, just double the amount of players they got (this year) with a much **** base of homegrown guys.

Its not great in hoops either, you can add a piece here or there, but it can blow up your chemistry if you arent careful

It seems that Minnesota might really have something in Darius Taylor, and that's annoying. Luckily the rest of their team is still a total mess. Can't imagine Taylor wouldn't make a killing in the portal.

He could transfer or PJ could continue to run him into the ground like he did with Mo Ibrahim. It was his 1st game back from injury and he had 35 carries in a meaningless bowl game.

Absolute howitzer for an arm but I don't think he's even a day two pick. Wild that he wouldn't try to use Iowa to boost his draft stock.

Iowa is a lot of thing, but they aren’t necessarily the team that a QB would choose to raise their draft stock against.

I’m saying that it could have been a good move because Iowa’s defense is great.

Miller Moss ≈ Caleb Williams ≈ Baker Mayfield. All Lincoln Riley system quarterbacks look the same.

I'm betting on Michigan and Texas so go ahead and make your Alabama and Washington bets. I've won money on the NFL this year, I've lost on college.

Monday is shaping up to be a fun day. Badgers (not expecting much), 2 college playoff games, Bucks vs. Indy.

Draft stock is generally pretty set-in-stone. I do understand some guys can have a heroic performance and bump themselves up a late round or something, but I feel like Milton is going to go higher than we think due to that cannon arm. I think the small leeway up/down rounds he can go could just as easily go in the downward direction for him.

Purdue is also losing a 4 star freshman safety from Texas Braxton Myers. Get them both and the Dollar LB from USC and let’s **** roll.

If this happens, I’ll donate $45 dollars to the Collective. That should cover it, right?

It is funny that the teams he listed absolutely have the best collectives going around. Obviously A&M, but especially Mizzou. Mizzou isn't **** around.

Kid was from College Station and A&M paid him no mind as a recruit. Wonder if that impacts decision at all anymore. They almost always can pay the most.

If you have an unlimited budget, it's probably just good business to wait and see if a kid is any good in college before poaching them as RS freshmen or sophomores. No idea if that's A&M's plan, but it'd make sense.

Gator Bowl 4th quarter's been insane.
