2025 Transfer Portal Thread

Do these millionaire 19-20 year olds go to class? Or am I just being naive at this point.

There is also the fact that Freeze is bringing in multiple QBs.

I'm having Chris Jones flashbacks.

Shit, I hate Freeze.

Outside of freshman, I doubt any of our players actually have in person classes.

Now it seems that Robertson is backtracking a bit.

He always leaves wiggle room. Classic Rosebowl.

Well and I think he is also just throwing crap at a wall to see what sticks. Lebby is playing this recruitment close to the vest and has from the jump. That is why Nakos, Wiltfong, and Luginbill have as much or more info than Robertson. They are all just getting it from agents and Robertson is getting it from all the State folks over at Auburn.

I tried telling people who would listen he was never ever coming at a discount. That was never ever happening I also said we weren t getting him...... but I do believe your I fo had some validity. Except the discount part. Unless you are talking to the most naive people in the world.... and I don't think it's over. But I never like us in this position. Ever. But the towel hasn't been thrown in.....

Oh I always thought the discount part was BS. I always had it pegged between 750-1.1. I had hoped it would be on the lower end of that. I think it probably has exceeded the 1.1 number at this point. We are raising money at this hour to get that number closer to 1.5-1.6. It would be a two year deal.

1.5 each year? Or 750k each year for 1.5mil in total?

I mean you lose Coleman, Craver, and Van Buren but that was fine because you were getting Arnold and he was bringing WRs. The FSU guy will not be bringing WRs with him. So if you lose Arnold, which I have said I will go down with the ship that we ultimately end up with him, no one will have any faith Lebby can bring talent here

Several of us on here have tried to make everyone well aware of this for the last few days, and some including you has made us out to be pessimists instead of realists.

What's crazy is I knew this was going to happen based on my sources, and our leadership is scrambling to react 24 hours after I knew

No we don't. We don't have a 3 game season.

That's lower than I would have guessed. We are willing to allocate 500k each for four DL but are only willing to pay a qb 750k?

750K per year. Sorry. I was responding to the original one which was asking was it 1.5 a year or 750 a year for two years.
