Is there another portal that people have been following over the last few years? There have been great players of course that teams have gotten, but also seems to be a bit of delusion surrounding FCS and portal additions. It’s always going to be about retaining, developing and adding a few pieces. Let’s put it this way, I still think there are double digits guys that 1883 hasn’t announced where it’s unlikely they could find a better or equal counterpart from the portal if they entered. Quote

BTW would have 2 more wins gotten this year's team a playoff bid? Asking for the other 3 Dakota schools. Can’t disagree, but would 2 more wins have Bubba still coaching? Quote

Retain, retain, retain. Schmidt is pitching a perfect game w/ 7 days left. Yes, they need to add a few key additions, but there was also probably 20+ “key” guys they need to return. They haven’t lost one yet. No news is good news from here on out on losing players. I’m ok with figuring out LB situation during spring ball. Need at least +1 on D-Line @ + 2 in secondary before start of next semester. 1 1 Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted Saturday at 09:25 PM Posted Saturday at 09:25 PM I would have thought that there would be activity from the players we didn’t necessarily want to retain. Would we be waiting for spring ball for that? plus - I thought we would want more than an additional three players before semester - double that Quote

If you could play GM, with the change to a 4-2-5, think you’d want +/- 8/10 going into second semester. More so emphasizing on my end how retaining your key players is the biggest key to success the next year. 1 Quote

wheelsup Posted yesterday at 03:22 PM Posted yesterday at 03:22 PM I love the portal and enjoy watching the NIL pearl clutching. Its really nice to see the players get paid and coaches having to deal with it. It could use a little regulation and visibility as I would like to see how much the players are actually getting paid versus all of the rumors. Im sure one of the guys on here has all of the stats as to percentages of players that go into the portal versus end up in a better situation but Im sure the answer is a pretty low percentage. There are always the outliers that are bouncing around every year.. but for the vast majority, its gotta be somebody who is trying to go somewhere for the last year or two of eligibility or somebody who ended up in a situation that just didnt work out for them and they would like to play. 4 Quote
