The portal is portaling
- Thread starter lobbybuu
- Start date
Can current players enter the portal right now?
If they did would they be eligible to play still? Would we want them too?

We're getting DJ? Lol
Ok but maybe Moore from UCLA?
There's a lot of high level QBs out there man.. probably not a good market to jump into if you dont have a sure thing in place.

Shadier Sanders is transferring to UNLV and willing to sit a year while his back heals.
I trust this staff, so my guess, we will initially panic because of portal announcements, then get relieved by some players in the portal coming our way.
At worst breaking even in the process. (If not better).
I’m sure it will be a rollercoaster of emotions with some leaving that we want to stay. When it all settles let’s hope we improve our talent level considerably.
After this season and the foundation for future success, if we DON’T drastically improve the talent from the portal something went terribly wrong. It’s almost a no brainer.
I think in spite of whatever losses we will incur by way of the portal, we will come out stronger on the other side.
I mean how many of us were shocked Robbins left, but we aren't any worse off at this point... Portal comes and Portal goes, it's hoping you get better rather than pillaged
Robbins wasn’t going to work on this team.
I think the two runners before him would have thrived.
I believe Theres a couple former Gorman kids who went to big schools in the portal as well...
Another guy that would have been fun in this offense was Tim Cornett.
One cut and go..
I know we’ve had some great receivers. But two of my favorite were Ryan W and R Gatewood. Ryan always looked “slow” but he really wasn’t.
Both guys ran really good routes, they knew when they had to cut them short and they were just great possession receivers. Neither was going to get 10 feet up and make a spectacular one handed catch … but if the ball was close, they were always going to catch them and they had a knack for that first down marker. It’s what I like about Ballungay as well.
Well, DB and Friel will bounce. DJ Uiagalelei transfer in. Pray we don't lose Woodard. White is going pro. What else can I come up with for this click bait.
Washington State QB Cam Ward has up to 10 seven figure offers before he has even entered the portal according to Brock Huard at Fux Sports. Now that is portaling.
Can somebody answer this for me. Being totally serious.
Let's say hypothetically a Qb enters the portal. Let's say Joe Smith from Rutgers. You hear Ohio State offered him a million dollar NIL deal.
Is he getting handed a million bucks on the spot? Is it pro-rated? Is it potential money he could make by doing commercials and appearances? Future jersey sales?

Everything except a million bucks on the spot. But he will get money upfront.
Ward rumored to SC.
DJ could join his brother at Oregon I could also see him at SC if Ward doesn’t go because they lost the bidding war.
It really is crazy how big this NIL money is. Some of these college players are making more without even playing a game than a lot of NFL players are making. Insane
Yeah. Lex would have had 1800 yards chuck wagon similar.
Yep Bo Nix returned to Oregon in part because he’s making more than had he gone to the NFL as a mid to late round draft pick. He stayed, got paid, developed and may be a first round pick.
In cases that his, it worked out great. I was thinking of guys like Arch Manning. I don't know the value, but I've heard it somewhere in the $3-4 million this year, and he has thrown for a grand total of....30 yards this year on 2/5 in passing attempts. I mean, it's great for him, and I don't blame the kids for taking the money. It's just crazy that the 3rd string QB at Texas is making that much money to watch the team play.
I figured, because let's be honest you hand some of these dudes a million dollars we'd be seeing some absolute nonsense on the news.
F'king portal hasn't even opened yet...

BREAKING: Washington State QB Cam Ward announces transfer to Oregon Ducks
The Ducks have a new QB in the mix for 2024. Former Washington State QB Cameron Ward is coming to Eugene.

I think we just call it what it is..
AAA Football, because the pretense of any amateurism is over.
portal isn’t open yet, but once they’re officially in the portal they can’t participate.
Could that screw us for our bowl game? I'm sure there is a second wave of portal guys that start after bowl season as well.
Jeanty will announce shortly after the game tomorrow that he is on his way out too. He has been offered a lot.
Hoping he's thinking about that instead of trying to destroy us tomorrow Lol.
Here's what sucks about the portal and in a larger scale guys entering draft as Juniors.
I 100% get that dudes entering the draft do not want to get hurt with potentially millions at stake.
But let's say it's a RB or WR or QB. What about dudes that busted their ass blocking for you for two or three years. That helped you rack up those big numbers. Yeah the bowl game may be meaningless to you but probably not to the guys that aren't going to the NFL.
Same with the portal. Some of these dudes alongside you aren't getting massive NIL deals. Those bowl games mean something to them..
Again I get it but, it makes those 'These are my brothers' 'We go to battle together' tweets ring a little hollow..
I agree with you 100%.
The way I think about it is this; when you move into your freshmen dorm, you arent really true friends with everyone. You are nice and friends with them because you are placed in the same hall and are around each other by default of living in the same place. Thats how it is with college sports. A group of guys chose to come to xyz school and play with the guys that also chose to go there.
Now, its like the end of freshmen year and you move out. Your time is up. No matter what you went through together the past year, it doenst mean that those experiences will translate to the next year nor does it guarantee that you will be friends with your dorm-mates after yall move out.
One could also call it tampering. A player just doesn't up and say I'm going to be a duck next year if there wasn't already and invitation.
They should withhold all offficial transfer portal entries until after the bowl games.
This. Or just allow kids to play in bowls even if they enter the portal. It’s not like their teammates don’t get what’s going on. Hell a third of them on average are probably in the portal or thinking about jumping in.
