2022 Transfer Portal

Deja Vu
NIL plus transfer portal without sitting out for a year create the perfect storm for mediocre programs with a few marquee players.
The real arrow to the gut is the removal of requirement to sit out a year. College FB is now formally a free-for-all and this is the beginning of the end for a lot of in-person game attendance and $$ donations for mediocre programs.
More and more the sport will exist as a TV revenue driven thing and that too is kind of a slippery slope. At least for FBS football.
Question for hoops fans: I don’t follow it very closely. Can those players now transfer and play immediately too? Thanks in advance.

Dude. Embrace reality. Outside of physical scenery/geography the experiences at major universities are fungible. Some are better at some fields of study than others but stop pumping the CU hype. Kansas State, Arizona, Rutgers, and Kentucky all offer more than football too….Just sayin’

Until CU takes football seriously enough to have bowl eligibility as the ground-floor-minimum, and improve from there, this is going to be what happens. No draw for recruiting, other than the opportunity to play right away…then if a player stands out, there is the dreadful air of them leaving to another school to improve draft stock.
Whatever coach that CU gets, that might show some promise, they get poached by another school.
poaching Coach Meat was a total chess move by Oregon to potentially bring in his son in a year or so…and by the way things played out with Gonzo…possibly poaching current players on CU’s roster. If that is the case, **** Whoregon, **** Phil Knight’s crypt-keeper-looking ass, and **** Nike!

This!!!!!
Oregon didn’t hire Meat just to get his son. If they didn’t get his son they would grab a different 4 star.
They also didn’t get Meat to raid Colorado’s roster which only has a couple guys that could even play for them.
Hell, just line em up and pick the teams right before kickoff
This.
It's not about a player.
From their side, it's about getting a coach that will make them better with both excellent recruiting and coaching.
From our side, it's about losing a solid coach not because of pay (reportedly), but mostly because of career advancement prospects.
When a lateral move for a roughly equivalent salary is a good career move, that says a lot about the organization getting left behind.

Promising young coach? He’s almost 50 and has been coaching at the P5 level for 12 years. He’s a proven commodity as a solid coach and great recruiter (when he’s been at good programs).
Also, it was said that CU offered a raise and extension but Wilcotts didn’t say CU would match Oregon’s pay.
CU offered Mel Tucker a raise, more AC salary pool and likely an extension, but it wasn’t close to what MSU offered.
CU seems to be willing to pay more and do what it can to keep good coaches, but they will always have a hard ceiling with resources that will prevent them from competing with the top half of the P5
Made adjustments to my post - I thought he was younger.
I *really* don't think it's about any "hard ceiling" on money at this point.
It's entirely about not having the institutional support to excel. Money is a part of that, and it's an important part - but it's not the most important part.
This. It’s a belief that nobody is worth “x”, when they quite obviously are.

Total agreement...Oregon didn't poach Leavitt for a player..
Oregon poached because the new coach saw on film what he needed to see in a coach.
As I said, the administration allows the AD to operate fairly autonomously within a set budget, but there is a hard ceiling that they absolutely can’t go above because the admin won’t let them. That is the biggest problem, IMO.
CU admin is OK with football as long as it doesn’t take too much time/thought or cost too much money. To them, their negligence is a badge of honor.
Same admin wouldn't allow KD to fire his coordinators after the 2020 season. The AD forced hires on anyone who would take the job in 2020. Cleaning house is in order
When college foorball ends up with 8 -10 "superteams", that get most of the attention and 90% of the endorsements, '3-stars' who play elsewhere, and have '5-star' freshman years, will transfer after that 1st year. In 10 years, it will be like MLB's trade-deadline, a kid can transfer up until his 7th game of the season.

Meat's contact was up in six weeks. Amateur hour to be too busy at xmas activities playing with your grandkid and let the best (only decent?) recruiter get poached like this. Why wasn't the contract extended months ago? Then open it up to losing your best player. So bush league.
Even if we matched everything Oregon offered, Meat isn't stupid. What team would you go to as a professional? The one likely competing for rose bowls or the team that is battling for a bowl nomination? Coaching UDFAs or 1st round picks?
Meat kinda disappointed me a bit, he barely recruited socal while he was here. Idk if he just was off coffee or it's hard to recruit to CU (but not Arizona somehow) but since we're unlikely to replace him with someone better, it sucks. Doesn't hurt that his kid could've helped us get the ball rolling for the next class and he apparently was so well liked that Gonzo dipped once he left

It’d be cool to have a player good enough to transfer to Alabama.
A program like CU should be replacing Martin with a late 20something/early 30something GA from Texas or aTm or another program along those lines who is going to jump at a chance to make $200k/year and work his dick off on the recruiting trail. Same goes for replacing Cook, and Chev (WR only) at the very least.
I just don’t understand how these “outside the box” or high risk/high reward strategies that we’ve discussed for a while now are so taboo for Dorrell and RG.
Rick George can’t actually believe this current “teach em up” strategy is actually going to work.
