To have the number 1 class at one point couldn’t have been cheap.

I hope the money we throw at Stewart has performance contingencies in it because I'm concerned about him being a bust. He is physical specimen and seems to have tremendous potential but IMO he still has to prove he is a football player at the next level.

Why would he take performance contingencies when usc is willing to not have them?

The portal is way more expensive. Maybe this is enough of a beating that it will spur donations, but you guys shouldn't hold your breath. There are three types of players in the portal.

1. G5 3 stars who are future NFL players. Ideally you get these guys, but they're not very common.

2. Great players going for the highest bidder. We will never be consistently the highest bidder. Especially for non QBs where people will gladly roster multiple elite players. Texas, A&M, UGA, Oregon, and Ohio State simply have more money than we do. We can maybe overpay for singular guys here vs them, but we're never building a team out of them.

3. Players who were pushed off their team for one reason or another. This is the vast majority of portal players. They don't usually work out and were not getting the playing time "they deserve" for a reason.
