A Tale of Two Portals

It is interesting to watch that two very different groups of portal entrants. One group are the over-achievers that feel they need to enter to get their fair market value. The other is the under-achievers that feel they need a fresh start somewhere because their current situation isn't ideal or they are looking to move up in program level.

Makes for an interesting ebb and flow between programs. Programs are bidding for one group like a Sotheby's auction, while also looking for value like a thrift store with the other group. Does a program spend it's time rummaging through thrift stores, or trying to outbid the whales?

...one option might be an unattractive one and that is someone who missed the season due to injury--either in the Portal or from the HS ranks though the Portal being the safer option. That is basically what happened to Turner.

We have been blessed with deep RB room's the past two years. A track record you have to hope Brohm & Co can use in finding two more RB's.

2025 RB Room:

1 - SOPH Isaac Brown
2 - SOPH Duke Watson

3 -
Incoming freshman Jamarice Wilder
(If Brohm like's his QB's to be 6'5", his RB's can be 6'0" or shorter from Florida. FWIW, Wilder's highlights look good. He's cut from the same mold as Brown and Watson. Whether that translates as quickly as it did for Brown and Watson, time will tell.)

4 - Will need to grab one via the portal. This won't be all that easy, given the success from both Brown and Watson this past year.

5 - Maybe add a walk-on too.
