I’m actually rooting for all of them to lose…just don’t want to see a Big Ten team or an SEC team win.

Well Texas Tech isn't SEC or Big Ten so you have to be rooting for them and/or Miami...both live in the portal

I’m not really rooting for anyone. It’s like choosing between cancer and a heart attack.

10%...by far the least of any playoff team. The data was posted here recently. Only Oklahoma and Ohio State were close

It’s not some righteous stance taken by Smart, it’s that most of the guys he has on the roster are better than the guys in the portal. It’s not like he’s going out on a limb to stand for what he believes in…if he had a couple of down recruiting years, he’d be filling up on portal players just like the other teams. That’s no reason to root for him.

Like an Ohio State/Michigan game.

SIAP - didn’t he go to like four high schools? Must have been asked to explore options - seemed like a big reach to me.

He's apparently a gifted athlete, but not particularly good at the QB position.
A prototypical player (i.e. sacrificial lamb) perfect for BGJ's and @Ludd 's preferred offensive philosophy.

I refer to it as watching ISIS vs the Taliban

Might it be easier to list the players who aren't jumping into the portal?

I don't know if that's fair but it's definitely not a major loss.

We need a defensive line coach.

 

[DaytonRickster]

Kinda bummed about that. Thought he'd stick around. He got plenty of PT. Oh well, portal work to be done for DTs.

 

[DaytonRickster]

No surprise there. Unfortunately was always injured.

We need a defensive line coach.

Truth.

What does Austin Peay know about defense?

 

[Bison13]

Ohio kid, would be a big get for someone
