All the people clamoring to run off all of our FBS talent and replace it with FCS talent are going to be getting their way.
Congrats all!
Ive been gravitating more and more towards soccer. Think it’s about time for my fandom to enter the transfer portal.
Who’s clamoring for that? I’m clamoring for a season with 6 wins or more… not sure which bucket that puts me in… #badfans
I find myself in the same bucket of “Just F’ing Win Already”.
We don’t know if these transfers were going to stick around with or without Biff. However, if they had planned to stay if Biff stayed, then I’m not sure I want players that are completely intent on being coached to losing records YoY. This will be an issue moving forward for Charlotte even if our coach was Saban or Lombardi.
We are now in an environment where $$ rules and trumps all other factors including coaching, facilities, university, fanbase, etc. I’m certain that Rusnak was unconcerned with losing his kicking job or have a worse season moving forward. This is based on him having a pretty decent season and see the opportunity to jump in the portal for a better gig or potentially pay to play.
I’m going to delay my response and bashing until I see our new coaching staff and who they bring in as new recruits.
If this season is an example of what can happen, there are still possibilities for future seasons with these players leaving. At the end of last season, no one would had thought that we could had replaced so many players with actually better quality ones. If our coaches would had been at least par, we would be bowling this year.
Let’s see what it looks like next year and then we can bash.
Need to mentally prepare as if every single player on this roster isn’t here next year. Transfer portal is already crazy plus a coaching change. New coach is gonna wanna bring in his own guys
Who is clamoring for that? Who is clamoring to run off purdie, blake, norton, balfour, conley, etc?
AAC Special Teams Player of the Week
Already in the Portal:
Clearly was playing for Team Rusnak this weekend. I can’t even blame the kid.
Some players are gonna portal. No matter the situation.
Expect it and adapt to it. That’s all we have to do.
clt asks who is going to kick saturday?
Purdie would be making a huge mistake to portal now.
He still needs a ton of reps and he is a deadlock starter here next year.
He could portal into an heated competition and get beat out and not even play at a P4. Or he could get hurt and do you think it’s going to be a priority to get him back on the field if there are other equals in the QB room.
He needs to stay here and get his reps in. If he wants to make the NFL he needs the game time.
Not sure who he’s taking advice from, but a lot of these young men and their families clearly aren’t playing the long game with their transfer decisions. Cash out is the name of the Portal Game.
Why are we even supporting minor league sports?
Greed, on all levels. That’s why.
Colleges have been doing it forever, mostly de facto but certainly so as concerns football. MLB has its full blown minor league system and now the NBA has the G League. Plus all the athletes who use college for the so-called Olympic sports. Just the way it is.
Clearly for team Rusnak and not his current 49er team. Not sure why entering the portal now versus one week from now makes much difference. I can’t blame him for trying to go somewhere he might get more visibility but I have no respect for someone who quits the “team” one week before the season is over.
I can see why they want to get their name out there. The early bird gets the worm.
I would like them to play to keep their commitment to the team.
Apparently, according to his X account, he is playing this weekend.
Purdie definitely needs to play the long game.
He has an NFL arm. We all see it.
He needs development time.
If he is playing this week, I retract my prior comment.
Interesting article about how the new roster limit will impact the transfer portal.
