Transfer Portal

I'm over the portal. Lets get some guys who want to be Jackrabbits and start rebuilding this thing. Washington State literally had 17,000 people at their last home game. When SDSU posted their coach announcement it got 434 retweets and 668K views. When WSU posted their coach announcement it got 241 retweets and 116K views. There is a reason their prior coach left for a 4-8 ACC job and no conference wants them. UCONN's coach just publicly called out Jimmy and their staff on twitter for trying to poach a recruit.

It'll be disheartening to see former Jacks leave, but Jackson can mine the portal for some gems too, like Stalbird was years ago

It sounds like perhaps this is simply a reboot from last year's aborted collective attempt. Suggestions that there'll be some decent seed money. But at this point, what realistically will we have to spend?

In McKnight I trust.

WSU social media expects a "number" of SDSU players to commit to WSU this weekend. It's disheartening to see the portal list now include some guys who initially were committed to the "Brotherhood." Reeder and Durrance have already committed. Does that increase the chances Tucker stays home?

Grandma Stoffel said Davin wasn't going anywhere but is now in the portal.

I would be surprised if Large is back.

A lot of the local players on there puzzle me. Saw a post that WSU has $ 3 million of NIL money. That needs to get spread out over the entire roster. And they need a QB - that's going to take 25% of that to get a good one. And a few other skill position players will get a bigger chunk. What does that leave for o-linemen and rotational defensive players ? Maybe $ 25,000 ? Nothing to sneeze at, but what will it cost to get their family members to Pullman to watch their games like they do in Brookings ? It's a 19 hour drive one way. Plane tickets are close to $ 1,000, with a minimum of two connecting flights which means a full day of travel to get there and a full day back. Do that for 6 home games. And a lot of the road games for SDSU were within driving distance. Maybe my math skills aren't that good, but it doesn't seem to pencil out quite so favorably as you might originally think.
