I need some portal entries today
I fear Rhule is going to be a candy a&& nice guy and let a bunch of dead weight stay. He’s overly worried about culture when you need talent and culture imo.

My personal theory is that a good number of the players staying are the grandfathered DSAs that don't count against the roster limit, and we don't need many more to portal out for us to sign plenty of dudes.
This is true but how long do you let them stick around and pay for it when they have no chance to contribute and the numbers are large? I mean some like 10 but not dozens.

If they have even a slight chance of being a contributor as a junior or senior and you can keep them around without any rev share or other real costs, that's a competitive advantage over other teams and you hang onto them if at all possible., IMO.

Looks like we were around 125 on the roster this year, so it shouldn't be more than 20.
 
Of the 41 players Rhule has brought in and later transferred, only 8 went to P4 programs. 8!

We are not seeing portal entries because why would we? These guys have it made here and there’s no market at this level for them.
I would think that number would be similar to other teams too. Odds are, if you're a multi-time transfer, you're just not as good as you think.

Perhaps

I think it’s indicative of Rhule’s ability to identify and acquire/develop talent regardless if it later enters the portal

It’s just glaringly obvious (and will once again slap us in the face on draft day) that we don’t have many (any?) actual dudes on the roster
