I am loving seeing all of these old school FlameFans posters coming back out fo thr woodwork. Welcome back!

[thepostman]

They're really coming out of the woodwork! Great to see. The power of a NY6 bowl game.

I’m glad posters are coming back, but when I read this I was hoping it was about a bunch of defensive transfer prospects.

[Sly Fox]

Since the portal opened up, we have been offering a slew of kids from top tier programs on both sides of the ball.

[paradox]

This is a massive opportunity for growth.

NCAA should get rid of portal. As for NIL, If needed because of uninformed judges, politicans, etc, players should only use NIL for what it was intended for. It wasn't intended for rogue schools or sleezy street agents to buy players from other schools.

What are they uninformed on? And what is the intended purpose of NIL? I know you won’t answer because you never do but just thought I’d ask

[LUOrange]

Has anyone heard if our players who have entered the portal are still going to play in the Fiesta Bowl? I'd imagine Chadwll will let them, especially since it's Jimmerson and some of our 2 nd string DL.

[JK37]

If I were them, I wouldn’t want to.

And if I were Jamey I wouldn’t want them to. But maybe on a case-by-case basis there would be an exception.

[Liberty22]

Reminder. Be careful what you say about players on these boards. Marshall just lost their QB due to fan speak on their message boards

[LUOrange]

Kendy Charles just enetered, probably as a grad transfer. Anyone know if he was going to be healthy enough to play in PHX?

[Tnobes]

Kendy Charles transferring surprises me, he loves the university, seemed very appreciative of the new staff and missed games because of injuries. Maybe being a graduate transfer he just thought his time here was done and looking forward to the next chapter. Great young man and great representative for the flames. I don't think he's transferring because of the school, coaches, playing time or looking for a "bigger stage" or $$$$

I just looked back at his transfer announcement and he posted, "still one more to finish w/ brothers". I'm guessing as it stands right now he is a go for the bowl. We can sure use him, that's for sure.

Why don't NCAA wait until January to open transfer portal ? Opening it first week in December is the worst possible time

Most athletes are in college to play school and the spring semester starts in January. It makes the most sense to open it up from the time the season ends until spring semester starts and against after spring semester ends. I'm not sure when a better time would be.

[thepostman]

Yeah, it's a tough one. I love the portal and think it's what is best for the athletes but the timing is pretty awful. But coaches are also leaving their teams before bowl games so here we are.

[LUOrange]

IMO, athletes should not be able to enter the portal while their team is still playing. In the same manner, schools should not be able to contact Head Coaches about employment while their teams are still playing. Eliminating the December Signing Period would also help alleviate things as well.

[ballcoach15]

I like the December signing period for high school recruits. Waiting until February allows the rogue schools more time to pay recruits to decommit

[Ill flame]

I'm not against them making a rule that players are only allowed to transfer in December if their coach leaves, otherwise they have to wait until summer. There will still be a lot of transfers in December but it would make the summer transfer window the primary transfer window when players and coaches have more time to make informed decisions.

I thought Freeze had the best idea to do away with Sprig practice and add them onto fall camp. Then replace the spring games with exhibitions in late summer. I think that along with what I suggested above would greatly improve the college game. Of course, what will it matter if this semi-pro subdivision comes into fruition.
