The portal opens soon Some guys will come out of spring practice knowing they are a backups at best and will leave. Coaches at every school better understand this and stay in the portal or depth can become a problem. Also the coaching staff may honestly tell guys their chance to play here is small. Could be a number of things.Buyout Financier said:
Wonder if we are expecting to lose a major talent upfront on defense…
We aren't going to lose either of those guys and I highly doubt we lose anyone in the two-deep. A fringe 2nd/3rd teamer will probably leave but that is how it goes nation wide. A guy leaving A&M after spring is because he wasn't going to play to much in the fall.Buyout Financier said:
I'm more concerned about serious contributors. One (or both) of the shemars for example
I have it on good account that the Shemars enjoy being blocked by one guy instead of two since we are now utilizing four down linemen.Buyout Financier said:

There is potential for that fear every spring at every school. Starter's or key depth guys dont just bounce from a program like A&M after the spring. They just learned a new scheme, they are getting good NIL money, and the fact is we have the potential to be a playoff contender. Where are they going to go where they will be a playoff contender and a start right away while making the same or better NIL? That is a short list if a list at all.Buyout Financier said:
I hope not, but there's obvious potential for serious churn in rosters this spring portal window
In this "new college football" as a fan you better not worry in advance about players leaving before they say they are. There is a portal. People from every team will leave. A&M will get some and will lose some. If you are a starter at A&M and leave you may be part of the reason this team has underperformed. Losing Nolen did not bother me at all. The guy played hard about 3 plays a game.Buyout Financier said:
There is no shortage of major programs looking for talent and depth at the line of scrimmage.
If the thread was about other programs, I'd be saying the same thing. It's not. Best case, this add increases our depth at a position we are already strong. Worst case, we are hedging for impactful losses in the next 3 weeks.

Brace yourself. Here comes the "we never rushed 3 down linemen! You were just imagining it!" crowd.
You can only dress so many players on a Saturday. Dudes aren't going to come here, not have a scholarship and not get to suit up on the weekend.SteveA said:
Do scholarship numbers even matter with NIL? Seems like we could just take walk ons, give them some NIL to make up for scholly...

Guys that leave a big school after the spring are usually either third string or are grad transfers looking for a starting spot.
