If both end up at PSU in the end, PSU will have added 2 very nice WR transfers to supplement the WR corps. Looking good.

He signed without seeing the money. Dummy.

The entire thing - and everyone (at least nearly everyone) involved in it in any way is contemptible. For crying out loud, you've got young women (who happen to be "student-athletes") selling "soft core porn" (for lack of a more precise term - although SCP is apt enough, at least vav intent) and people calling it "NIL". Laugh, or cry?
Please include the link for this SCP. Asking for Bob.

Some just never develop into D1 players. Nothing wrong with playing at a smaller school. If they develop down there, they can still get drafted. I wish him well but like the others that hit the portal. Their time here ran out. You get 2 years, if you’re not playing then you need to move on.

Not quite in the portal (yet), but here's an interesting and mind-numbing story that I fear may become more common. Florida Gator's newly signed QB recruit wants out of his national letter of intent that he signed last month because the Gator NIL collective he signed a contract with can not get the financial backing to make it happen. The deal was supposed to be worth $13m.

Even worse:


NIL is coming along with an ever-growing assortment of complications.
Wait, you're telling me that the programs actually have to come up with the money that they promise recruits?
Well, now if that don't beat all

Dean Engram just announced he is in the transfer portal at Wisconsin as a WR... Does he come to PSU because his father is next WR coach at PSU?

Are you sure about that? I know he's interviewing with the Patriots and may get the job, but that's not the same as being fired.

I thought DE Townley decided to stay at PSU so shouldn’t he come off the outgoing list?

Is Nebraska becoming Georgia Midwest? They landed their third transfer portal recruit from Georgia in massive OT Jacob Hood. He joins another former 4* LB and 5* TE from Georgia to bolster Rhule’s roster. Lots of upside here it seems…

what tends to happen to players who enter the portal and do not get a scholarship somewhere else? Tom M posted above that about 50% of those who entered portal have committed to another college.

It’s a hard luck life. Some keep looking and contacting schools and hopefully a few find a scholarship. Others if they can pay, enroll somewhere in hopes getting a scholarship. A narrow path to follow. Some if they can pay, just pack in football and concentrate on a degree. Unfortunately many of the others enter the workforce, often in menial jobs from which they never escape. And some end up as problems for society.
