CU had their center enter the portal (second OL in the last couple days), one of the better lineman on a bad offensive line with 3 years to play and this guy just decommitted from UCLA. A guy we offered from the San Diego area. Login to view embedded media

Quick story on a big (and yes, pun intended) recruiting visit weekend at ASU. Will post any updates on this thread

Slow period but ASU ends the 1st on top 1-0.

From what I gather there are a couple of ways to watch the game live.

1. Through NCHC TV. It's a pay-per-view for $16.95 per game or $30.95 for a "month" which is the way to go if you plan on watching both games.

2. The other way, and this is new for me as well, is through the MTNtv app, which is available via Roku, Firetv and Appletv, BUT it may only be for those in Colorado. I'm not sure how all of that works but I have added it to my Roku and it looks great. Fingers crossed the game is indeed on and people can get this outside of Colorado. They also stream it free via their website, so maybe a VPN in Colorado would work? I have no idea on all of that.

"We had the stops that we were able to get some baskets of transition. It was fun to watch the guys play that way tonight.” Many of ASU's 23 wins last season were a stout defensive effort fueling an offense that struggled with its perimeter shooting. Tonight that formula worked like a charm again

Hod, i know you have posted some names here and there, but do you believe KD has whittled the OC candidates down to a short list yet? With recruiting going on, guessing he would love to knock this out ASAP (if right candidate is available) in hopes might impact recruiting and even more so the portal

We had a running list last year, figured it would be good to get another going. This list excludes Arizona HS alums from ASU that will transfer.

OL Cade Bennett (Notre Dame Prep/San Diego State)
QB Ben Finley (Paradise Valley HS/Cal)
RB Stevie Rocker (Canyon del Oro HS/Arizona)
OL Brayden Rohme (Perry HS/Cal)
RB Eli Sanders (Chandler HS/Iowa State)
QB Tyler Shough (Hamilton HS/Texas Tech)
QB E.J. Warner (Brophy/Temple)

Per The Athletic.

Word on the street is 4* RB will be visiting this weekend......most evaluators have him picked for Oregon or Washington, but lets see what KD/S Aguano can game plan to make him think about Tempe

I never hear people say much about AJ Cooper and Vince Amey ? I doubt he lets Rangle go as they are buds.

Starts at the 21:36 mark, summing up the 2023 seaosn, NIL talk, and more

Did Isaia Glass enter the portal?

Good evening Huddle members,

First of a three-game homestand that I think will tell us a lot about this team after a hot and cold performance in Las Vegas last week.

That is what Dillingham said in the radio postgame was the amount needed in order to build the team in an effective way, both retaining its star players and attracting quality ones from the portal. This is why he said that he can devote as much time to recruiting on the road in the next two weeks.

Reality at ASU in a nut shell.

Don't know how close to coming to ASU he is or not, but is the son of Brad Johnson he is a grad transfer eligible immediately. Obviously with a coaching change at TAMU looking for stability

Badger not playing. Guessing he, Rashada and Conyers are going to hit the portal after the season ends. Have been hearing that they've never bought into what D has been preaching.

The current CFB recruiting scheme offers three potential pay day milestones to prospective recruits - freshman recruiting, 1st transfer, grad transfer. Each of those are opportunities where the player has increased leverage to negotiate NIL deals with their current and/or prospective schools because these are the times they are essentially free agents.

This could incentivize a prep school model for football recruits. My theory goes like this (assuming 120 credits to graduate from undergrad program):

1. Graduate HS, preferably with as many college credits as the student can manage to earn at their HS. (0-12 credits)

2. Go to a prep HS instead of college for the post-graduation academic year and Fall after HS graduation. This prep school will have a college style S&C program for football players. The prep school will also offer college credit courses via the high school so the student does not enroll in a college and doesn't start their college eligibility yet. (30-42 credits)

3. FIRST PAYDAY: Enroll at the college of the student's choice to play football for the following Spring. Also take full summer school at this institution. (57-69 credits)

4. Continue taking courses at this college for the following academic year, hopefully earning playing time on the field. Also attend summer school at this school. (99-112 credits, 1/5 eligibility used)

5. Attend school and play at initial institution for Fall semester. (114 credits-graduate, 2/5 eligibility used)

6. SECOND PAYDAY: Enter transfer portal after season. Transfer to new school or stay at current school with larger NIL deal. Take spring courses and participate in spring practices. (graduate-graduated)

7. Play football under new NIL deal that Fall. (graduate - graduated, 3/5 eligibility used)

8. THIRD PAYDAY: Enter transfer portal after season. Transfer to new school or stay at current school with larger NIL deal. Take spring courses and participate in spring practices (graduated-graduated)

9. Play football under new NIL deal that Fall. (graduated - graduated, 4/5 eligibility used)

10. FOURTH PAYDAY: Enter transfer portal after season. Transfer to new school or stay at current school with larger NIL deal. Take spring courses and participate in spring practices (graduated-graduated)

11. Use last year of college eligibility under newest NIL deal. (graduated-graduated, 5/5 eligibility used)

This opens up the possibility for four paydays instead of three. Obviously, there is risk of NIL lowering after transfer. But under the current scenario, getting to graduation as early as possible but using one transfer pre-graduation and then unlimited transfers after looks to provide the most leverage for the players.
