As much as we complain about people leaving (like our all American punter or Toure), I’d say overall the portal has been “bery bery good to us”….this year, for example, we’ve traded our punter for an offensive lineman, a CB, an ILB, a new starting QB, and a 3-star WR.
I know there’s a rumor or reporting that there’s a 2nd player of ours in the portal, but is there a single player on the squad that we’d go “[#]f###, we’re screwed next year if we lose him”, and that we wouldn’t trade for those we’ve gained?
Overall, I’d say that year in and year out, we get more out of the portal than it gets out of the Griz. We can be thankful that we aren’t a school like UNC, that has 8-10+ enter the portal every damned year to GTFO of Greeley.
Would love to see an analysis of the “comings and goings” over the past 4-5 years to compare exiting players with those we gained….Sask? Alabama? Either one of you up to the challenge?
