If a player enters the portal can the team sign someone else or do they have to wait until the player makes a decision? I ask because with multiple players in the portal we’re gonna need to start filling holes as not everyone is going to stay

There’s still what, less than 10 in the portal? All things considered that’s pretty good

Honestly, that would make sense. He could start against B12 competition and raise his draft stock significantly. That being said they won’t win many games and it has a chance to backfire. Hope it works out for all involved

Don’t really blame guys for seeing what offers come in once they’re in the portal.

Hopefully he remembers us beating them last year 🙂

Not that I wouldn’t love Myers back, but I’m more concerned about the OLine right now. We know what we have in KVT but I have no clue how good the backup OLine is

Very impressive, Alnutt came through bigtime.

If this ends up being true consider me impressed. Nice job ADMA

It’s definitely a mess. 6 players in and of itself isn’t bad, but they include some of our best. My worry is that there’s a mass exodus if Alnutt doesn’t nail the hire. In a perfect world the new coach comes in and convinces the players to keep the band together and run it back. Might be wishful thinking.

They do it to get feedback on their game. Allows them to focus on things they need to improve on at the next level

Huh? In what universe does he actually hire an agent and leave?

I don’t want to assume the 2nd part, but yeah not being able to win the MAC wasn’t ideal. In game strategy didn’t seem good. Blown leads weren’t good. Big game results weren’t good (though we did win 2 bowl games, which is great). In all I’d be willing to bet leipold would’ve been gone sooner if he was better at some of those things.

It does feel like a mess, and our AD is paid very well to clean it up. IMO the success of his tenure is make or break with what happens next

Big time get, this is turning into an awesome incoming group of players

Our AD better get his butt in gear and hire someone

he’d be a home run in recruiting though! Give the guy credit he can talk the talk

How were we possibly in on him? It wasn’t plastered all over social media. I don’t understand

Nick saban comes to mind lol

Another Brian kelly assistant? Ugh

Uhhhh..... ok

Tomorrow: DT Lamonte McDougle has committed to Kansas

Ianello is the easy choice, but to be honest I’m getting a little tired of Alnutt just making easy choices, he’s paid to do better than that. The athletics department has to weigh continuity vs potential. I know it’s not fair to the current football staff but I feel like Whitesell burned the one freebie easy hire for us. Doing it again is just saying we’re fine with the status quo. Hopefully not a lot of players jump ship this late in the game. I say go after a big hire, and do it quickly. Ask the players to wait and hear out the new coach, allow him to make their pitch. Also for the record I was fine with the Whitesell hire and am still one of his biggest supporters around here, but I just don’t want a revolving door of promoting from within to become our MO.

Lance built up a good, stable program, and I don’t blame him for taking the payday. For a guy who couldn’t win a MAC championship it’s a nice promotion. That being said he left the program in much better shape than he found it, and I guess that’s all you can ask. I’m not happy he’s leaving but I’m not devastated either.

And buddy Boeheim

He has gotten raises pretty much every year, but yes now that he’s stabilized and grown the program to be consistently competitive it’s time to up our game. A lot comes down to donors too though, I know they had a lot lined up for Nate
