NCAA Football Transfer Thread: Enter The Portal

Heard Caleb Williams signed with USC this morning

We’ve felt good about Dart but apparently there is some issue with one of Triggs classes.
He’s the one that got us in the door with Dart.

 

He's already got the dick snake ready to go

 

We would’ve preferred to keep him to see what he had but he was also 5th string behind the likes of a 5’9” 160 lb scat back and a guy who was a backup RB in high school.

 

Ucf fans are so weird

 

Even racer thinks this is embarrassing

 

what a fuckin dork

 

sononsense that is

 

Wait wut

 

He heard Caleb Williams signed with USC this morning

 

Do you actually sign when leaving the transfer portal or is it a more I declare bankruptcy thing?

 

You just enroll but you could technically have a grant in aid signed, but you can sign multiple of those.

 

I meant to delete that portion.

Committed? Whatever you want to call it.

 

You should see what Stagger Lee posted in the bama thread

 

That's a big one

 

Are the days of “we’ll ‘release’ you to anywhere except x rival schools” over? Can they block kids from transferring to certain schools

 

Yeah that’s done, could maybe do it with NLI as it’s binding for a year I think or until you enroll

 

"Hated on by most fans"

2% of the fanbase even knows who Trey is and I'm not in that 2%

 

Only thing a school can do is claim tampering which is happening at every school.

State did it to us last year with two defensive players that wound up at FSU.

 

Literally the only reason CW isn't already at USC is trying to avoid tampering, though we all know it happened, but whatever.

 

Well...I agree with the very last bit of that sentence at least

 

If you don't think there were conversations before he went into the portal... yikes

**EDIT: Let me rephrase. I do not think USC did any tampering at all, and is probably the one telling everyone to take their time, take visits, etc, which they should. I 100% believe LR had conversations with CW before he entered the portal, and there's some speculation that it was even done using his OU phone, there's evidence, he's a state employee blah blah blah. I also 100% believe everyone is doing it (tampering), so this is not a unique situation.

 

Sounds like something a hater would say.

 

Yeah you can transfer anywhere.

Love the takes from Josh Pate types that kids being able to attend and play for whatever college they want, needs to be reeled in.

 

If you think that's any different than other recruits going into the portal...yikes.

At the end of the day he had his choice between staying and leaving and he made it. Sooner fans are just living up to the stereotype of still being obsessed with Riley by bringing up tampering

 

No issues at all with the decision, and I'll be rooting for the kid no matter where he goes.

You say "still" like this happened 2 seasons ago. At least I got a good laugh at that part.

 

Found Emma on Twitter

 

Just thought it was weird to throw out the tampering thing and then say it's whatever, and then continue talking about how it supposedly happened, and then say it happens everywhere. Not sure when the cutoff point is for acceptable obsession with your old coach, "but whatever."

 

What is the penalty for "tampering"?

 

There isn't one

 

A commitment

 

USF should use this to their advantage. #TamperBay

 

Looking like a bitch crying on a message board

 

Dart to OM appears official

 

Here is how you legally tamper.

HC at school ABC calls HS coach/Handler/whatever of player X who is enrolled at school XYZ.

HC-"Hey HS coach. We could really use someone like player X. If he ends up in the portal, he'd have a guaranteed starting spot at ABC. We even got 300k in NIL money lined up for him."

HS Coach to player X- "Here's the offer from ABC if you want to leave XYZ.

Player X enters the portal and 24 hours later announces he is heading to ABC.

This shit isn't complicated.

 

Or the HC at Oklahoma accepts the job at USC and tells Player X, “Hey I got the job at USC, come with me.” And then Player X enters the portal.

 

The athletic did a big article last week on the portal in basketball. The tampering there is a little more clear. Guys are promising spots to kids that aren't even in the portal yet and have months left on current season.

 

correct. But to prevent the "tampering" accusation, all the contact goes through a runner.

 

Or he just says it behind closed doors face-to-face. Simple.

 

because on the 1% chance it can be proven he did it, Lincoln Riley is looking at NCAA sanctions.

 

That would be a fun twist. Basically, can they outbid NIL potential?

 

Coaches have been doing illegal shit they could be caught doing for a long time because they’re narcissistic shitheads and because it pays off

 

Immediately changes expectations for next year.
