Re: Portal time 25-26
I think that mainly shows 2 things. If you had a coaching change recently then you can reload with the portal for players that better fit that coach and go on to win. The second thing is that if you are one of the top 5 premier programs you dont have to portal for players all the time as you get the cream of the crop HS right out the gate. They don't need to play somewhere to get experience. They are just ready.

When you’re at the top, you don’t have teams above you poaching your best players

You’d be suprised. Georgia has had plenty of guys poached and transfer out. Even suing one of them for not paying his buyout back.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Sat Dec 20, 2025 12:22 pmWhen you’re at the top, you don’t have teams above you poaching your best players
I recall a freshman DL in the national championship with 2 sacks that transferred to USC for more money. Started in the natty and won, then transfers for money. (Bear Alexander)

I hope UGA wins that suit. Not sure everyone realizes the basis of it:311neers wrote: ↑Sat Dec 20, 2025 12:25 pmYou’d be suprised. Georgia has had plenty of guys poached and transfer out.

Contract was from Dec 1, 2024 - Jan 31, 2026 for $500,000.
UGa paid $30,000 on Christmas Day ‘24 as 1st installment.
Player entered portal on Jan 6, 2025 after cashing said check. Contract clearly stated buyout.

Re: Portal time 25-26
Shut your mouth, the kid is terrible, can't help any other team. And Boone sucks also, so no need to go see what it's like. Just stay off the mountain, none of our players can help.
