Any guesses??? I’m glad we have a coaching staff that is active on social media. Being antsy to see who commits is way better than constantly being in the dark.
Another boom just dropped by Powell. Rostrer could potentially be filled out today
Looks like a double boom.
The anti-boom: Stafford to Southern Illinois. That hurts.
Well that is understandable given the balmy climate in Carbondale. He left for the money. He was ungrateful for the care given during his injury and fled for the bucks. Hope we kick his a$$.
Its like coach said. Say thank you. Move on. If you want the glass half full, he should be someone who can be scouted on pretty well.
If these players weren't already richly compensated by full-ride scholarships that other students would kill to have, I would be more sympathetic about the NIL cash. But this gravy train is quickly evolving into something that will crash & burn for all but the top revenue-earning D1 schools. For the rest of us, it is an unsustainable model, completely disconnected from the serious higher ed financing challenges facing their universities.
Stafford's gone. Who are the boom(s).

Just look at the MVC. The "top portalers" are mostly a contingent of public schools. Those being ISU, Murray, and UNI. The only private school in the portal win category is Bradley. However, Bradley goes to significant lengths to keep their program at its current status. Some may argue to the detriment of their academic sector. The public schools can sit fat and happy as they dont have to worry about allocation of funding as much. It is an unsustainable model, however it is a model that, as of now, cannot be put into check. Every time there are efforts to reign in the craze. It results in another lawsuit, another injunction, and another additional case added onto the House settlement. We can only pray that the settlement allows for the NCAA to be given the ability to actually make rules rather than have the rules they try to make get broken up in court.

Nothing right now. Will have to wait another day. There are rumors circulating the internet, but until I see it on Paul or Powell's pages, I wouldn't give it any mind
