Players in the Portal [Official "They Gone" Thread]

That is a huge loss. Nate was a playmaker. I fear that if we don’t hire Key and I think we would have by now, we will lose the best players we have returning as they enter the portal. This is why you are ready to name your coach the day after the season ends - to give the new coach a chance to impress the better players and keep them on board.

No this is why you fire Collins sooner and have the next head coach named before hate week if possible. If not then immediately after the mutt game.

No. Apparently Jason has been sitting on his ass this whole time and is completely unprepared to hire anyone

That will happen as soon as schools are allowed to pay players directly and the sport will be better off for it. Right now we kind of have the worst of both worlds: NIL means the game is essentially semipro, but schools hanging on to not paying players directly prevents them from doing things like this.

I don't think it does prevent them. It isn't like scholarships are zero cost to the school, and it is not like a buyout clause is limited by what funds are exchanged anyway. It would be reasonable to make the buyout $50+K for each year the player attended with the buyout going to zero if they graduate or run out of eligibility. It would basically be recouping what GT has invested in the player.

@LambdaChiGT and @ThomsonJacket so will he play in the NFL??? What is he transferring for? Another moment of glory on the bench or some division 2 program? Another soft representation of the Collin era. Go ahead and say best wishes if you want but your god damn dollars helped pay for the scholarships and pads the kids used.

If you believe it’s a business decision and not a life decision you really should feel the same way I do. Cause the kids didn’t give a öööö about the school if they leave when they are getting all the targets and a bomb degree.

I don't think he will play in the NFL; but he might. More likely he doesn't like losing and wants to play for a winner.
 
Its going to take a special group of kids to want to come to North Ave next year to play considering all of the instability going on... Wish u the best Nate! THWG Go Jackets!!!

Being a winner for the rest of his life>playing for a winner 1 or 2 seasons.

Kid has everything to lose. I’ll eat crow and start my own thread if wrong.
