Baylor just picked up a HS RB from HD Davis from Wolfe City HS. Had signed with K State but must have been let out with the coaching change. 6-0 205 10.7

Guess we aren't the only fan base with portal impatience...I think he's talking about Colton Price at the end

On the other side of the coin is putting the UNT team in OSU uniforms and playing a XII schedule really going to work out with the same result? It seems that is all the new HC is doing.

Also has it been confirmed other than a tweet that LSU is the culprit behind UW's ordeal? I had also seen speculation on twitter that it might be their rival Oregon. 5-6 million for one player for a season seems unsustainable for literally everyone except 6 or so blue bloods and maybe Cody Campbell if his priorities in life remain rather foolish.

Nebraska just picked up the UNLV QB, so that's another team out of the DJ Lagway market.

IDK who the other big time visit is today...but if we land both then I think the clouds will finally start to part for most fans - Lagway's talent + legacy narrative should create a hype machine and recruiting momentum.

I think a receiver from Colorado is coming in today also. SEE POST ABOVE

I know there is a receiver from Colorado visiting today that we have supposedly been targeting for a while. I think he might be the other one.

I agree about Lagway. I know one good player can't fix everything… but the current BU portal experience will definitely feel more positive/hopeful if we end up picking up a QB that's ranked in the top 10 of portal QBs.

Right now nothing excites me about watching BU football next year expect maybe seeing if the defense looks any better...but if we have Lagway that will definitely build some interest for me.

yeah given he's a former "Top 85" guy that makes sense, just wasn't sure it was him given the lack of specificity on the timing of his visit.

Leavitt is extremely overrated. I e said that from the get go. Not surprised to see teams pass on him. That said Tech spending 5 million on Sorsby is hilarious. He's not good enough to win them games in the playoffs next year

I imagine we will see this type of sentiment continue to grow in the donor base.

Something obviously is gonna have to change… it's just going to be a matter of how long we are in this strange middle ground.



I think you'll just see a big difference between schools that have boosters that feel this was and the ones like Tech who don't care and will buy everyone.




At some point there will not be enough fools with enough money to continue to fund a zero ROI game like NIL. Hell, you can't even write it off in most cases.

I'm just not sure how sustainable this present system is

It's not sustainable. At some point, these programs will have to run like a business, meaning they'll have to generate the money to make payroll.

Will be interesting to see how many people try the Utah / PE model. Turning donors into owners might work for a temporary bump.

May be more unsustainable if some of these get injured early on. Wonder if these megadonors buy insurance on their "investment"?

Since this thread was created to talk about our portal activity, will our QB next season be good enough to win us games in regular season play?

No QB will with our O-line of truck drivers.

Not sure if BU has anything equivalent. I know we are not comparable in dollar figures… but just wondering if we are doing similar type partnerships at a lower level.

If he can fly. I mean like sprout wings and just hover above the defense.

He may be overrated for a guy who single-handily kicked the pig shyte out of us this season?

Every QB kicked our ass. That's not saying much. Baylor made Jackson Arnold look like a mini version of Tebow.

"kicked the pig shyte out of us" lmfao ADS is very real.

Leavitt had just over 221yds @ a 6.9yd average (nice!) and 1 TD...and ASU won by 3pts.

I was actually at that game and it was closely contested by Baylor...a few plays the other way and we win.

Y'all are funny.

A loss is a loss. The whole few plays and it goes the other way argument is for losers.

I never said it was a Good Loss or that we Deserved to win, just pointed out that it was in no way an ass kicking for anyone but those who take the Ricky Bobby approach of "if you ain't first you're last"...

...but thanks for chiming in
