I think some of our fans would be stunned how much some of our players made this year.Quote:

We weren't the only team to offer what we paid him. And we knew he wasn't elite but his previous stop he was good. 500 k won't sniff a good one. Not one who has been good at least. Might steal a guy that ends up good.Quote:

Well, we have over 15 million of revenue share that we have to spend on football. Thats a good chunk of change if you focus that money on your top 30 guys.Quote:

That would be cool. He could just ride the plane back to the golden triangle.Quote:

LSU OL DJ Chester (this one may not be this weekend though)
good start to the portal extravaganza
I really like the Chester visit news - exactly the type of player we need to be targeting in the portal.
The rest of the guys listed, massive meh. I mean, exactly the opposite of the type of guys i want to be wasting time and resources on.
Veguer Jean-Jemau (LT from Tennessee St) will be visiting on Sunday. 6'7 290. He is scheduled to go to OK State the next day.
I'm actually the exact opposite. I actually like the kid from Houston Christian, if he's looked at as a 3rd CB(which I believe he is). I'm not high at all on Chester. His PFF was terrible this year.Quote:
