    I'm not hating Jimmys portal pickups, dealing with 4* kids who haven't proven shit and alot flame out, the portal is where it's at. We still need to set the stage with quality 3 and 4* with an occasional homerun 5*

    Thing is, the portal gets you guys that are trying to avoid the flameout label after they see it coming. It's going to be hit or miss unless Lake et al are really good at evaluating these players.

    Except we are getting guys that were starting?

    Only Martin looks like a possible flameout.

    Yeah most of these dudes were starters (bookie, giles, polk, and pat). Be on the look out for at least one more transfer

    Giles is a weird one. I'm not sure why he's transferring or why he wants to go to UW. I'm just glad.

    The receiver may have just wanted to get the fuck out of arm pit Texas. He definitely looked to be on a good trajectory there.

    Yeah maybe I'm off. There are players out there who are doing well but still want out. Seems like they'd be fairly rare though and there would be stiff competition for them most of the time. If Lake can get impact players from the portal consistently I'll call it genius. My expectation has been that we'd be getting guys like Martin, who still have potential but haven't performed.
    Giles was probably freezing his ass off and he was playing for a goofball that hasn’t had a good offense in years. We haven’t either, but still.
