I don't know if that's true or not, but if so, it's another reason to question whether players should be selecting captains (or whether they are even needed for that matter). Many of us have been around long enough to recall when our players made some questionable picks, and the fact that it was necessary for the HC to overrule them did not reflect well on the program.

Is our portal window closed now that the spring semester has started?
I’ve been crying so much there’s no salt left in my tears. Something tells me we will survive.

Hey everyone, new guy here! I didn't read all the posts (who has time for that, right?), but I have one burning question: is the portal closed & are they another one in the spring? Asking for a friend... who happens to be an Armchair coach! 🛋️🏀 Ready to share my expert opinions and questionable strategies. Let's do this! 😄

Portal is currently closed but we still have to weather one more transfer window in the spring.

LU players entering the portal is like a reality show where NIL deals are the golden tickets, and coaches are the quirky judges. Some players are chasing those sweet endorsement deals, hoping to become the next big influencer. Others are looking for a coach who promises more playing time or a better shot at the pros. It's a whirlwind of decisions, with players weighing their options like they're picking toppings at an all-you-can-eat sundae bar. 🍨🏈 Who knew the transfer portal could be so dramatic and deliciously entertaining? 😄

At LU do we, decide who gets what NIL deal like a high-stakes game of "Who's Got the Golden Ticket?" 🍫 President Costin, Chancellor Falwell, AD McCaw, and HCJC might set the stage, but does the collective play Willy Wonka, handing out those sweet deals? Or do they work their magic behind the scenes, making sure the players get their fair share of the chocolate factory—er, I mean, endorsement opportunities. Is it all about striking the right balance between talent, potential, and a dash of LU spirit? 🏈✨

Is LU Football going to be losing players in the spring portal? Or are they planning to keep everyone locked up tighter than a drum? 🥁 With the way the transfer portal has been lately, it feels like a game of musical chairs—except the music never stops and the chairs keep disappearing! 🎶💺

What do you think? Are we in for a surprise exodus, or will the team hold strong?

It feels like the players that transfer in the spring are guys that aren’t in the 2 deep after spring practices and want to find playing time somewhere else. We’ll lose some depth but I’d be surprised if we lose many starters. This is also another opportunity to get P4 guys looking for playing time.

Hey lil flame, does HCJC have his guys in place now, or is he still playing musical chairs with the roster? 🎶💺

And what about HCHF's players? With the last portal departures, are we looking at a whole new lineup, or did they manage to keep some of the old crew? It's like trying to keep track of a soap opera plot! 😅

What do you think? Are we in for some surprises this season? 😄

There were 108 players on the spring roster. This doesn’t include 5 more that were part of this years signing class that were not here for the spring. So that’s 113. Have to be to 105 when the season starts and this obviously doesn’t include any new additions through the portal which there will be some. At least 8 will go in the portal, likely more.

This is the new normal.
Hard for fans to balance the desire to chase talent in the portal and then be bitter when the back door swings open.

TJ Bush is expected to stay, right? Right? ;(

Also, any news on the corner position? Thanks for the work, Jon.

I'm sure it's because they hate wearing those sissy blue uniforms.
