Jaharie Martin in Portal

[AFCAT]

I saw him walk out with the team at the basketball game. I bet that was tough for him. I really hope he changes his mind as I think he could see some more time this year on special teams and maybe as a fullback. Time will tell.

Can you actually come back after entering the portal? Would the players and coaches be willing to bring back someone that entered the portal?

Sure, a player can withdraw his name from the Transfer Portal and return to his original school if the school still has a spot open and wants the player back. No clue how Vigen and staff feel about this though or if they would entertain the thought of bringing someone like Martin or Ifanse back.

This question was asked Vigen recently at one of their alumni meet and greets. My take is that his position is that once a player enters the portal they are gone and that he is against players just testing the waters. Navigating the portal waters appears to be a work in progress for most coaching staffs.

That seems like the right answer. Maybe if the player makes a good enough argument for why he entered and why he should return he can come back as a PWO but testing the waters should cost him his scholarship at a minimum.

I can definitely see the schools position. The coaches can’t wait and hope a player changes his mind and comes back. The coaches have to start recruiting a replacement once a player decides to enter the portal.

I'm guessing if Troy Andersen tried the portal his Senior year, didn't get quite the love he thought, asked to come back..... Vigen says YEP. lol

Ok, two standards. One for guys that deserve to have their number retired and one for everyone else. We'll call it the Troy Andersen rule (and then retire the rule).

Are the Black Bears Maine?

Yes, and the Bobcats are playing Maine next season in Bozeman.

I saw that Maine played a decent game against FBS Florida International, losing 14-12. Since Maine is playing the Bobcats next season, I thought I’d see how Jaharie did. I didn’t see any stats with his name so I checked their roster and didn’t see him listed. I wonder what happened there.
