Personally I've always shied away from commitments. They make me nervous.Someone? Anyone?
I have been checking every 20 minutes, I'm with you.....Someone? Anyone?
Ha that’s funny as I have checking a lot as well.
I got to admit. I’m trying really hard to be patient and I’m struggling also. Lol. I really thought our amazing season would have a greater impact than I’m seeing right now, and hearing Cig say in his PC 80% of the best players in the portal are already committed was kind of a downer because right now it doesn’t feel like we will be getting any significant upgrades or depth at the positions of greatest need. i admire your patience though. I’m really trying to be because I know Cig can coach and after the miracle season he just pulled off I feel guilty even questioning what’s going on. So, I’m doing my best to just let the process play out.Patience.
They're coming in the next couple days.
Well….this is a byproduct of being in the college football playoffs. I wouldn’t trade reaching that achievement for a non-CFP spot in a lower bowl but for teams participating in the CFP and trying to prepare for their matchup and focus entirely on the game, it leaves no time to work the portal. And, James Franklin talked about this and was on point where he related the case with Beau Pribula and the kid having to make a decision and start taking visits in the middle of preparing for a Dec 21 game. It’s just way too tight of a window between game prep, portal visits and kids needing to be at their new campus by the time the semester starts. That part of all of it is haywire right now. And all the teams in the CFP are dealing with it. Those like Indiana that are now out (SMU, Clemson and Tennessee) now focus their attention on the portal before the dead period and the 8 schools left are prepping for their matchup next round. The schools in the other bowl games and those that didn’t make bowls all have a much larger time window to work the portal. We shut all of the portal work down on Dec 14. Dead period begins tomorrow until Jan 5. That means no direct contact with portal guys by the programs. We essentially did what we could after the Bucket up until Dec 14 and then had 2 days this weekend to try and close some deals.I got to admit.
