re: What was the logic behind the entire OLine going to the portal?

Did all of their NIL deals get cancelled?

I think their NIL were reduced and told they should explore better deals. Their NIL's were probably based upon last year's performance?

logic

With this many players, there's little logic applied. It's more like the wild west. When you compare it to something like say.. the NFL, there's only 2208 spots (32 teams, 53 active players/16 practice squad players) and a limited amount of agents and GM's making deals. But only 600-750 unrestricted free agents at a time.

Now with college, there's tens of thousands of kids moving around. It's complete chaos.

Logic is tough to come by when there's this crazy amount of money flowing, correspondence, tampering, etc.

You want guys that want to be here
Plus fair pay

The days of program loyalty are gone with very few exceptions

Kirby said it best “we want kids that want to work”

Curne and Adams are the ones I would’ve definitely liked to keep. Word is Curne is kind of a knucklehead and is tweeting that lsu wasn’t entering the portal turned them off from fighting to keep him. In reality, Curne messed up his own paperwork which was the reason for the slight delay lol.
Not totally sure on why adams left. Haven’t heard much.
The staff has fought to keep Moore and Davis which should definitely tell you something on Davis’s potential.

This is under rated imho. When healthy he was one of the bright spots and center is usually a very important assignment along oline (Usually responsible for pre snap adjustments ie blitzing identifying and protection adjustments). Most centers, especially at the next level are very cerebral and require high football IQ

They got away with egregious holding all night long.

Two words. Brad Davis. He was petty asf on the way out. He’s been posting on Twitter lately multiple posts about his o line from 2023 and 2024 as finalists for the Joe Moore award. He feels we ruined his reputation and ability to get a future job by pinning the failure of this year’s offense mostly on him. He told multiple players to leave and been working to make it harder for us to get traction with portal kids he personally recruited.

The read tigerdroppings. Tired of being shite on. But they were not good

Thanks

It’s just the way college football is now. It’s no longer about loyalty. It’s all about trying to milk out as much money as they can. Some might return. Some may be told they’re getting replaced.
