Kiffin took 20 hs recruits, Deion took 8. What Deion is doing is not common.
Ole Miss Star RB Judkins to enter the portal
- Thread starter headcard
- Start date
Well so far it's not playing out that way, other then a few outliers. Most teams are not loading up in the portal. Most teams, especially good ones, are using it strategically.
Good lord. In your attempt to move yourself into some insider level that only you care about, for whatever reason, you’ve turned yourself into a complete dipsh!t.
Just take a lap.
And when you get back, you need to take another couple laps. And when you’re done with those, there will be plenty of up-downs.
Sorry, I know what you meant. I was just being flippant about the number of players that were one and done last year.
If the rules dont change you better get used to doing so.
Teams are losing up to 20 players at a time.
And the last count I saw on another site showed the total number of players still in the portal is 2100+. So a good number of those 20 player at a time are being asked to leave or the player sees there is no opportunity for him at his current school.
No idea. Takes too much work to figure out with the covid year. A senior isn't necessarily out of eligibility and it sucks looking up stats for everyone to count years.
Thats an entire recruiting class of players.
To be replaced by freshmen...yikes
From what I see only 1 or 2 are as good, but I'm not the expert level genius you are.You could take the top dozen on this list. Some of the rankings after that aren't that good. I'd have Chaney and Ward a lot closer to the top 10, for example. But there's probably at least 30 there better than anything on our roster. Boise State guy was also in the portal for a bit before returning to his school.
You got him… he’s completely ignoring this. He doesn’t have an answer.
I'm saying I've been ahead of the curve and have completed original work in multiple different fields, problems of which were much more difficult than anything these coaches have faced. Read into that what you will.
Yeah and Kiffin has a 3 year head start on Deion, so again it's back to that timeline thing. Deion has had far more holes to fill than Kiffin...and they both have far more than Saban, Kirby, etc. But yeah, no doubt what Deion is doing is very unorthodox. It's kind of impossible not to have this conversation without including him, but it's such an outlier that you also almost have to disregard it.

But it is playing out that way, at least to some degree. As more and more talent enters the portal, more and more teams are shifting their focus to it. You think all these talented players are just going to go unsigned? Or end up at FCS schools?
And maybe the key to this whole thing is that, as you said, the good teams aren't doing it as much as the bad ones. Well, last I checked, we're not a good team. To compare our optimal strategy to Saban and Kirby is apples and oranges. So, you might have sort of made my point for me there.
Again, want to reiterate, I'm not dug in on either of the strategies (portal vs recruit), I'm just looking at both sides of the coin. In today's landscape, I don't think any of us can claim that the way to build a team is to recruit heavily and use the portal for a handful of players. Yeah, that's been the best strategy in the past, but things are shifting away from that without a doubt.

Anywhooo, back to the topic at hand...definitely doesn't seem like a player we want. It'll be interesting to see who's willing to overlook all of his bullshit and take him anyway. Unless it's really bad, somebody out there will think they'll be able to control him.
Some in Mississippi are accusing an unnamed school of tampering - while others connected to the school are claiming he was a cancer on the team.
I think it has become clear thru the end of the recruiting process that Dylan is home.
