Whoa. A RS-Freshman has already had 2 years in the weight room, film room and at practice to decide if they "Stack Up" or not.Aggieair said:Bonzer103 said:
It's a lot, but still explainable. When half your team are freshmen and playing exclusively for starting limited positions, the less fortunate will go elsewhere. Half our team are Freshmen, unheard of. So half of those young players (half the Freshmen) would move on. Math says that's more than 20 people. Show me another school with as many freshmen high school stars that want to start, and I'll show you the math that the also supports why they have so many portal particupants.
We've only had 4 true freshmen enter the portal. The majority are upperclassmen.
I suspect a whole lot of those RS-Fish, Soph's & and Jr's that only got PT on Special Teams know where they "Stack Up."
The fact that many True Freshman, that had "Less Time" in the film room, and less time at Practice, but still got plenty of playing time, tells me that their talent is far better than those that already had 1 year to further mature and get acclimated.
I would doubt they got more Playing Time, because they were a bigger risk of transferring. Now IF that's the case, it's a sad state of affairs, because you are coaching from behind.
