The Portal will be flowing over the next few days as players and their agents get the 2026/2027 NIL numbers from their current schools and (in most cases) severely overestimate their worth.
Think the playing time, personality clash and program culture Portal crowds have mostly already entered. The Pay Me people are now on the clock.
Baylor really needs the PG, shooter and stretch 4 Portal crowds to be large.
Supply and Demand is such a brutal mistress at times.
Throw in timing, as well....possibly even luck.. You may wait to get what you want, but what you want is so slow to be available that you feel that you have to take the best available while there is still something from which to choose. You take that and then two weeks later what you really want opens up because of circumstances that cannot be foreseen. Then you either have no money left to get them or you have a situation where more could have been applied to another position had you not taken the first person, but stuck with someone that is otherwise not a complete waste, but not having the ability to fill another position to the level that the money warrants.
