'25 Portal Thread

Austin Price says this one isn’t happening. Brady wants more NIL wise than we are willing to spend on him.
Good. Stand our ground. Hes not shown he deserves an insane amount of money. Tennessee would be giving him more money than Cal, a chance to compete for playing time, an opportunity to play on the biggest stage, and a chance to make it to the NFL. If hes just chasing a bag move along.
 
Unlike the star chasers, and keyboard warriors, our coaches actually know what we have in the stable at wide receiver. They see them at practice, in the building and in meetings nearly every day, We are young, but very talented.
Play them which is what many have demanded for years and this coming year we actually will have to do that so let’s see how it turns out before judging our portal approach this spring.

Not saying Brady would have been a great player or anything but the fact that we are in this position shows badly Heupel/Pope mismanaged the WR position since the season ended.
No it’s not. The fact we are being choosy shows they like what they have. But I know it’s not the VN way.

I suspect you have never been in a management role. It’s pretty obvious what is going on IMO. Coaches have established a comp structure for the various position groups. They aren’t going to blow up their comp structure for a transfer back up.

It’s not 10 years ago. Roster management is about dollars, not just numbers. And it’s not just total dollars, it’s dollars with the team generally and position groups specifically. It’s the same thing that large companies everywhere do, and it’s smart the staff is approaching it this way.
 
of course, oh well. Is what it is at this point
You guys are like children whining over not getting toys at the Salvation Army when you already have a bunch of shiny brand new toys still in the box at home. The parents (Heupel) bought you those toys (Radarious Jackson, Travis Smith, Dasaahn Brame) and they're much better than the second hand stuff at Goodwill (portal).
