Elite LT are 7 figures. + ..... what do you think we have in steens??? It's more than 750!

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

And we had to overpay for him because it was late in the process. He's wildly overpaid. We're going to have to overpay for some guys this round, but not as much as we had to overpay for Steen.

Davian Jackson in the portal. Another Bumphis recruit. Not to keep harping on it, but we had a lot of busts at that position under his watch.

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.

500K-750K will get you a really good OL at any other position besides LT. As I said though, LT is probably going to start around 750K for a good one. Elite will approach and probably exceed 7 figures.


On Steen, everyone was having to overpay because it was the spring portal and you were having to tamper people into the portal.

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.

Are we in on Chris Barnes from Wake Forest

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

That is extremely helpful. Then the question is how much do we have on top of that.

Looking at a commitment or two tomorrow?

[BigDawg81]

The portal is officially open. Let’s have a day!

[StarkVegasSteve]

I expect we have 3 by the end of the weekend.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Visitors confirmed so far for this weekend:

Temple DE Khalil Poteat
Michigan St S Justin Denson Jr
UNT DL Joshua Pierce
Houston Christian CB Tyran Chappell
Florida DL Tarvorise Brown
LSU OL DJ Chester (this one may not be this weekend though)

[Pancho]

good start to the portal extravaganza

[HancockCountyDog]

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.

Yeah, very underwhelming list. Not going to jump the gun here, but if that's the kind of players were in on shows me we aren't serious and don't have the money. It's early though

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.

We're bringing these kids in now because we can close them while the staff is still in Charlotte or just getting back. The real work starts Sunday for us.

We also are bringing in Jayson Jenkins, FSU DL, for a visit at some point in the next 5-7 days. This is an Arnett connection. I would expect us on more than a few FSU guys.
