Transfer Portal

[trueblue]

Is Thue going to be ready to go right away ? If I remember correctly, he injured a knee in one of the NDSU games.

Just to give an idea of the volume of players that will be available when teams have to get to 105, saw a tweet that Nebraska currently has 130 in the program.

The Bullock WR transfer was a former walk-on at Nebraska. He was a ways down the depth chart and he could be a great find for the Jackrabbits. He bailed early as another portal WR player joined the Huskers. P4 teams with 20% extra players could be a flood of players searching for spots.

MN Gophers have to release 19 players still. I love this rule of limiting the big schools to 105 players and they cannot hide/stash players on POW teams. This will open up a bunch more talented players straight from high school to programs like SDSU.

I didn't research it but I'm assuming SDSU does NOT have a limit of roster players?

FCS teams, such as the Jacks, also are limited by the 105-player roster limit. Scholarship limits, at least at the FBS level, are being increased at the same time. So, beyond this transitional year, I don’t see any biig, ongoing benefits for the Jacks.

I believe that is not true. Each school has the option to opt into the settlement/revenue sharing or not. If you opt into revenue sharing, then you are capped at 105 players on the roster. If you don't opt in then you can have as many football players on the roster you want. This applies to all sports, no roster cap on any sport if you don't opt in.

For Montana St., they opted into revenue sharing and they will be capped at 105. SDSU, NDSU,USD did not opt in and therefore no limit on roster size.

At least that is the way it was explained to me by one of the head coaches at SDSU.

I don't think this is the panacea some think it will be. We didn't win national championships with the likes of 130th best player from Nebraska or Minnesota. Can we develop some of those guys into quality players? Sure, maybe. But we don't lose AA caliber players to the portal and expect we'll back fill with former middling P4 walk-ons. The walk-on programs aren't what they use to be. Some folks in Vermillion have the delusion that somehow they'll get better players than all their recent departures. We shouldn't kids ourselves likewise.

The Jacks seem to be in the market for a safety. Offered two yesterday - Jaden Whaley from Hampton and Jason Thome from Colorado Mesa. Both have a number of FCS offers.

I am a little surprised there hasn't been more news on the portal front. For instance there still has been no announcement of the RB Jackson referenced during the spring game. There has also been a couple players I had heard rumors we had a good chance of getting that have still not announced. Maybe we are their fall back plan, and there are waiting as long as possible to see if a better option comes up. I see Jackson's most recent follows on twitter are quarterbacks, so it appears getting a solid backup is on his list of priorities.

Are we still in need of a kicker and punter too?

Good question. The portal closes tomorrow.

It sounds like the new roster limits are not yet set in stone. Saw a rumor that current rosters may be grandfathered in, even if they are over 105. That might have an effect on whether some of those borderline players enter the portal.

[Jacked_Up]

Last I read, there were more than 10,000 college football players in the portal, and there will be more of them available after FBS teams cut their rosters to comply with new limits. SDSU's staff has a whole lot of evaluation and recruiting work to do. A lot of the available players probably aren't good enough to help the Jacks, but this is a good year to have to significantly restock the team.

You just need to be in the portal by tomorrow...you can sign anytime thereafter.

That makes sense. You are just declaring that you are exiting your current school and available to others. I imagine most of the desirable recruits are picked off quickly though.
