2025-2026 Portal Updates

I don’t want to give Matt and his good old GM buddy pat Stewart too much credit for having big brains, but is it possible we are strategically keeping some cash in the bill fold for some of these CFP guys that are still playing?

Like an old man saving all his 1$ for when the best dancers come out at the end of the night?

Just checking the numbers shown on 247 for each team (probably not up to the minute), here's how many each Big Ten team has leaving to the portal.

Penn State 40
Michigan State 38
Minnesota 21
Illinois 22
Michigan 20
Ohio State 20
UCLA 20
USC 19
Purdue 19
Wisconsin 19
Nebraska 16
Rutgers 14
Oregon 13
Washington 12
Maryland 11
Indiana 7
Iowa 7
Northwestern 5

So it looks like we're less aggressive than average in updating our roster.
Would be nice if we could land a few of these Penn State guys. Many were fundamentally sound and pretty athletic.
 

I want guys who don't smile a lot.

Time to quit hittin the Tues lunch buffet show and hit Friday nite lights. Spend that cash Rhule...Make it raaaaaiiiiiinnnnnn!!!
 
Tech just grabbed another d-linemen. Damn.

I think what we have learned from Indiana is that landing talent is only half the challenge. You really need good coaching and development to become an elite program. I would say that we have not had many great developers in the Rhule era but am hoping the new DC can bring in guys who know how to develop players.
