I can't keep up........

So ryan roberts thinks he's staying?
No shit! lol

They should change the rule. If you enter the portal, you go into this pool where schools pull your name out of a hat and that's where you go. That would halt this crazy madness.

Wasn't today the first day of bowl prep practices? Anyone who intended to transfer would likely ask to set out or notify the staff they do not intend to be here next season. So anyone in attendance would immediately notice who wasn't practicing. One way for this information to spill out.


Would imagine anyone else intending to leave would be in the portal by end of the week?

The coaches should be aware by today of any players that have currently made up their mind, there's probably some people still on the fence.

Like you said, you're practicing today and playing in the bowl or you're not.

Watts, mills, cross, betrand are the big questions to me on if they return

Honestly James seems like a leveled headed young man and the level headed thing to do is see how the QB and WR coach hunt plays out and at least have conversations with them

He is also a big Stucky guy no? Recruited him at Baylor and ND?

Driskell just said;

He already has multiple stories written about players who are entering the portal who haven’t announced yet.

He is watching closely because some might announce during the show right now.

Said a few veteran players who were initially going to leave are now coming back.

Were given permission to say both Thomas & Colzie are coming back, and that wasn’t the case before Stuckey was let go.

Sad these kids now a days are so soft. They don't want to face any diversity or bust their ass they rather take the easy road out.
I don't think it's soft. And it's not their faults. It's Bear Momma's and Road Grader parents who clear all the paths so Junior has no obstacles to face. Performing at college is the first time many of these young men had to face equal better competition without mom or dad (or uncle or pop warner coach) clearing all the hurdles away.

Where did all the tough love parents go? Tough love parents/advisor said, "figure it out or fail. And sometimes son, when you fail, you actually learn. And you understand the effort you need." That doesn't exist in our society anymore (at least not in much of what I've seen with kids). Now, when things get tough, Bear momma and Bulldozer dad fix it all.

However, I think there will be some very good data very shortly about how comparably ranked kids perform when they stay, when they portal 1x, or they portal 2x or more. My instinct tells me that those that stay will be the highest performers (consistency of approach coupled with the attitude to solder through). I think this is especially true for the talent positions where changing systems has the potential to push them backwards. I think the 2x plus portal kids will be those that simply can't cut it, and 1x will be someplace in between. Once that information starts coming in, then there will be some empirical analysis about the upside/downside to staying or leaving. Right now, it doesn't feel there is any downside, and Bear Momma or Bulldozer Dad says "it's ok Junior, you are right - the grass is always greener."

Thomas and Colzie coming back is huge. They are both better than Merriweather. Thomas also has two years left of eligibility

Is he creating drama like he does and a lot of those already written and ones he needs to do are for people that have already announced. (zeke, tobias, tyree, nana)

or is he flat our stating and standing behind we will see 6-8 more that haven't announced?

Im assuming most are going to include seniors that aren’t expected to be back anyways.

The Carmody’s, Kristofics etc of the world

Well, as of right now, without adding anyone in the portal, ND has to lose 11.
Obviously, Alt & Estime will be two.

I suppose we need to start a yearly over/under for transfers out and in since this is the sign of the times.
I'll start 8 out 5 in.

Again, II has set their O/U of players leaving the program at 19.5. None of this should be shocking to anyone. It is what happens in today's college football.
20 should be about right since ND wants to add 4-5.
