He played well for us. If he had no academic or legal issues you figure out if he makes us a better FB team. If he does, welcome home, let’s get to work. 
As long as the NCAA allows players to have agents, the agents are going to try to convince players to enter the portal. 
Is it the scaled down version of free agency?  

This also happens every single day in the workplace and the “real world”. But heaven forbid a college athlete does it and you’d think the world was ending.

Well said. Programs that don't embrace this type of thinking will be at a disadvantage. Key of course will be this will be done on a case-by-case basis. Asking yourself that simple question.

They didn’t get the memo

Dylan Lord got the memo on a $2.5 million donation to Redbird Football from an anonymous former QB.  This kid has street smarts.

It's a negotiating tactic,  keep up with the times even if you don't like them.

Theo Grace was an unknown.

Important to note, impact vs depth. #’s don’t tell the story. UND has 4 impact of 14. NDSU has 7 impact of 11. That’s an awful ratio.

His big brother entered the Portal from the Oregon Ducks. He had the #3 most O-snaps out TEs left at Oregon. 

But Grace was recruited for the 3-4 by Bubba.

Could you explain please?

So that's why his dad is constantly sh*tting on UND on X/Twitter.  Makes sense now.

Young guys can contribute at that position fortunately. Also, watching Indiana throw back shoulder all day to a guy with zero separation in a semifinal game makes you wonder what Deng could do next year if they just chuck the pigskin his way.

And remember there's going to be two of them!

The class got recruited and signed  by Bubba. Then, after they were signed, they discovered they had a new coach.  Not a big deal, because mostly future players. The way the portal is- there are 3,750 options out there.

[UND1983]

Not sure the new staff was thrilled with taking on that class

Assume this is his dad? Finally found some stuff after sifting through all sorts of politics.
