I don't think this rattles kids as much as we might think. Coaches have always had "the portal" and movement has always been common for them. Notre Dame is now looking for it's third OC in just the past three years...

This comment made me think. Koi is just an average recruit for OSU. If you're a high level, but not out of this world prospect, do you have to be careful about going to a blue blood program where they have so much depth, you might not even see the field or, if you do, you might be a Jr or Sr...

Ha! From the podcast. They got to know Rossi over the years and thought he was a great guy and family man. Big loss for us, but they seemed to think it was inevitable. We have been at parity or better than MSU on the field lately which is awesome, but they still have more upside when things...

Pair spare podcast said he left for almost $1.5 million guaranteed for 3 years. Michigan recruiting footprint is far superior to ours as is their NIL. He almost left last year, but came up 2nd for the Notre Dame DC job. He left for a better job. It is what it is.

Listen to them all the time, but missed the most recent one until now. That and Gopher Gridiron are excellent!!!

Just listened to Pair & a Spare podcast. Those guys do a really good job! Very interesting views on losing Joe Rossi. They said all around great guy leveled up in pay and program. Unfortunate loss, but not surprising. They also mentioned our four portal gets so far and like them. This...

He got bumped to 89! you called it!

Interesting thought! Something more fair is coming eventually like the NFL and NBA. It drives up general interest and the value of the league if more teams are competitive. And something that restricts player movement. I wish I had a time machine to see how this looks five years from now!

Can we join the PAC-2?:)

I guess time will tell. Let’s see if he ever gets off the bench. He may be back anyway!;) Of course, we may no longer want him then. Recruiting is very imprecise. Glad he’s excited to catch some SoCal rays.

Or it got late in the cycle and USC had to fill holes in its recruiting class by taking lower ranked guys. Or…. None of us really know.

Isn’t almost every coach a year or two from losing their job in modern college football?:oops:

Even if AK does well at Rutgers, it's not necessarily better coaching. Maybe he just needed more time to develop. A lot of quarterbacks just take time even at the NFL level. It's the most important and complex position in all of sports. Unfortunately, he decided to take his development...

He took a dead program that no one else could revive and did so. He and Rutgers are a good match. All the easy wins in the B1G are going away slow but sure.

Dang it! You're right.

I'm just trying to use some objective data. We're losing a net of 4 players to the portal and they are losing a net of 9. They have no players committed to going their right now. I'm sure that will change, but they don't appear to be anyone's first choice. I don't see any evidence that going...

Well, at least nine players on their team disagree with you and they have zero transfers in at the moment. Minnesota has eight portal transfers out to compare apples to apples and four transfers coming in...

My general point was it's not hard to believe some guys are getting late interest and we are losing them.

What? Kids are leaving Michigan State too?:p

I'm sure he'll be plenty motivated at Rutgers to compete and improve! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... Rutgers is willing to give him a shot because they aren't just handing him the keys to the car like we did. I think PJ will be very careful not to do that again.
