For some players, this seems more important than the actual playing time.

I am a big believer that you must look at every case separately and understand why that player entered the portal and how they act(ed) once they entered.

We probably lose another 2-3 in the next round for this reason.

In his comments yesterday, I believe Morris said there were 5 or 6 scholarships left. Of course, if we get a late hit, they will find a way to make another available.

Looks like we add a Long Snapper. Not sure if he is on scholarship or a PWO

There are a lot of very good players in FCS just take a look at how many hit the portal every year and get picked up by FBS teams. Some of these guys could have been overlooked due to many reasons and if our coaches are doing their due diligence and spot one that they believe can be developed then yes it's still a flip based on the fact that all that means is you just took someone from a team that they had committed to.

I would also add that a team must be at least .500 in conference play.

With the offensive players that we just signed it might make it a little easier to convince a quarterback to come here and play in Morris's system

I'm just speculating, but it seems like with Morris, if you go in the portal and never leave, it's one thing, but if you go in the portal and leave, he doesn't seem to have a warm place for you.

We have flipped a couple, but have we had any commits flip today?

There are QBs available, and some more might be available after the Bowls. With all of the QBs who have transferred, another wave of QBs will be available after Spring ball. After his work with Ward and now Morris, I find it hard to believe that there will not be QBs who would like to learn under Morris.

If someone looked at SFA' past 3 or 4 seasons they would get what your saying. For these players we're flipping from FCS schools, hopefully the staff if doing a good job projecting their ability to keep progressing and also their ability to add weight.

Who is it?

Was mentioned by @TheReal_jayD that last year Rogers did not come on board until January 10th. Still lots of time.

He just posted this

Could some of these O-linemen (or ones we already have) get moved to the D-line? I'm not going to panic until it is all over, but having had the WORST defense in FBS, I had hoped to see "more" emphasis on the defense. I hate to think of another year of "Air Raid" defense where the thought is you can outscore everyone else (which usually ends up with a .500 record).

He could wind up like Denton's Spence Sanders - Transfer as the starter and sit on the bench. I guess the NIL was more important than playing (hopefully, he had performance clauses and got very little). P.S. To put the topping on his final season, he's academically ineligible for the bowl game.

I saw somewhere today a Redshirt-Senior in the portal was listed with his major as undecided. Tell me again about the student-athletes.

Just as with tampering P5 schools would not let anything like a dead period get in their way anyway. They have been emboldened by the NCAA to cheat all they want to and not worry about any repercussions

The dead period is a time when college coaches can't have in-person contact with prospective student-athletes. However, coaches can still communicate with recruits by phone, text, direct message, or email

I hope your right

That 24 hour window where P5s will start trying to fill their remaining spots with players they did not want last week ......

Probably a combination. I wonder how many players are going to screw up their taxes.
