Duke QB- Loftis to UNCC. Spellman also returning to UNCC. New coach might be making an impression. But, they still live in Harrisburg.

Re: SunBelt and other interesting 25 portal happenings
Think he signed with Oregon State. Imagine being a really good qb and going to a bad team in Oregon State or Iowa, who scores like 13 points a game. Chasing the money.

That was posted as of 12:27pm today that he hadn't signed. Not sure what's going on with that. Hadn't really noticed someone commit then hold out from the TP.

Re: SunBelt and other interesting 25 portal happenings
Western Carolina QB commits to Oklahoma. Wow. I would have liked for him to end up on the mountain after watching a few of their games.
Re: SunBelt and other interesting 25 portal happenings
Why would he do that (WCU QB)! They already signed a 95 grade QB from Wash State.

Re: SunBelt and other interesting 25 portal happenings
Yep. P4 teams like Oklahoma will spend more on backups than most team can on starters. It happens every cycle. The productive FCS QB who went to Miami after Ward committed last year is in the portal again. Gonzales will ride the pine but will likely make more money than you and I combined doing so.

Re: SunBelt and other interesting 25 portal happenings
If you asked every kid 20,30,40 or 50 years ago what they wanted from a football scholarship how many would honestly have said a degree, a chance to be on a championship team and a shot at the NFL? The farther back you go the more would answer yes to the first one and the second with understandably several on the NFL (even with the odds against them). Now it’s more likely getting paid over the degree and championship answer. Young people have many different reasons to move around but to leave Duke and move across the country to play at a school basically not in a conference has to be completely money based. It makes you wonder what the percentage of players ever completing a degree and actually graduating will be going forward. How on earth does a guy on his 4th school actually graduate?

Again the salient point. What is the purpose of a college or university?

Obviously, they liked their coach more than their administration did.
