Anyone seen any new portal entries today?
I haven't, but some of the guys haven't mentioned Furman in the post (just the graphic) so I could have missed some.

I saw Colton Hinton was offered by Missouri State and Charles Ingram was offered by EKU but that's all I've seen today.

WCU RB Branson Adams offered

Good player. No idea if he”s a good citizen or not, but he can tote the rock quite well.

I'll say it again. Where does academic standing/progress play into all this? It is COLLEGE football. At least for now.
For now but…..Just wait, getting an education/going to class will become optional not required if its not already at some schools.

and the 5 years to play 4 rule is gonna die too.

Why would any business FIRE their most productive employees and force them to go work somewhere else after 5 years on the payroll?

Absolutely no sense at all in Colleges doing that. Players will only choose to go to the NFL when they think they can make more there than in college...and as long as they can freely sell themselves each year to the highest bidder, college will be where the BIG KWAN is...they can't do that in the NFL. Y'know ... contracts and CBA's ... none of that foolishness in the College Cash Grab.

Wait and see....

The Blutarsky 7 year plan is a reality.

Not sure but I don’t think FU has ever hit the portal this hard. I guess the coaches know we need help and are making the effort.

Certainly are being more open about those efforts this year. Perhaps trying to drive scarcity with more public offers.

I think at the core, Furman wants to build through development of high school players. At the same time, the fundamentals of the sport are changing.
