Another great show, one comment.

Kept pointing to number of l transfers on soccer team, which just is not true.  They have three on the current squad and most starters were recruited  as freshmen.  

They do have one recent transfer from OU, but that is exception.

Last years team had 8 D1 Transfers. Out of 26 Players on the roster. 30% of the roster was D1 transfers. That would equal about 25 D1 transfers on a FBS football roster.

 

And there is 5 D1 transfers on this years roster not 3. still 18% of the roster is D1 transfers.

Last years starters defined as the eleven that started the most games included 2 transfers.  A more meaningful stat perhaps than how many walk-ons from other programs are on the roster. 

Not a big point, one way or the other than I thought, it was strange to point to a program in soccer that has dominated based on getting excellent local high school recruits.

So 18% of the 11 were D1 transfers. The point I was making was you have to use ever option when trying to build a roster. SMU football went transfer heavy and has led to a resurgence of the program. At g5 level in any sport you cant really solely on HS recruits no matter how dominate your program (just like the soccer team)

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
