Pretty disheartening to read today that there are well over 2,000 D-1 players already in the portal on the first day. Georgia State's QB, playing for his sixth team in six years, is now in the portal again and petitioning for a seventh year of eligibility. So stupid, so pointless.

And I'm sure I read there are over 3400 that declared before today? It really is crazy. I've heard several say that congress needs to get involved, Colter and others. Such a weird thought that the government should interfere with college football, but clearly the NCAA isn't doing a thing to manage it, so someone needs to step in. It's a runaway train.

For each one that transfers out just makes bobby’s job that much more difficult.

I am betting down to about 6 returning from the 2 deep.
And that will include kickers. He has to have a punter next year.

Looks to be almost as bad as Iowa State portal transfers.

Could mean that Gilman is likely coming back and he wants to start.

What can they do? They have no actual authority and the laws are all against anything that could regulate it.

Also, I see that Malachi Nelson is in the portal for the 3rd time... wonder if he'll end up at the FCS level.

This screams UIW.

That said a bunch of people are saying he still acts like he's a five star. Thinks it should be handed to him, makes business decisions instead of taking a hit, yells at WRs because they didn't make a catch that he missed on etc etc. Might be some truth to it based on all the transfers.

Looks like Jareb will have to stand over and mock injured players in a different conference.

Hopefully he can find some teammates who lead with the crown so he can pretend to be tough while the LOS gets reset five yards.

Yeah this can't be a move up type of situation or there are some really bad film evaluators out there. Which there are I guess.

There are a couple possibilities that occur to me:

1) UM has told him they're going to replace him this off-season for performance. Griz fans almost always say of deporting transfers "he knew he wasn't going to start next year" as a way of coping with the revolving door that their program has become, but it may be true in some cases.

2) Talent evaluators feel Ramos could be much better in a real defense that doesn't run a gimmicky scheme.

I'd be REALLY curious to know just exactly how much he's getting paid, like for sure legit getting paid - and if there are any stipulations. I don't know how any of this works.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!
