Vandeross III is a Junior WR at Toledo; his 12 receptions for 194 yards in yesterday’s win over Pitt was as impressive as any that I have seen this season. Only 5’8”, but displayed the ability to elevate on several acrobatic catches, and his ability to run elusive routes all over the field catch everything thrown at him, was reminiscent of Harry Douglass. In one 4th quarter series he alone had 4 consecutive receptions despite everyone in the stadium knowing that he was the target.
 
You really think we would “outbid” the BIG or sec for his services?

We can’t compete.

We’re a small market pro franchise.
 
Someone wrote that securing a player by the portal ends on the 28th. (midnight I presume). Anyone seen or heard anything about a new player(s)? Thanks

That someone is wrong.

Players have until 12-28 to enter the portal.

They can sign any time after they enter.

Honestly, I am not 100% sure as to who, why and how much those that support UL football would pay for any portal candidates.

I am acutely aware that UL is no where close to where most of the P5 college and Universities are in terms of how much funding is available when competing in the Portal, but somehow we have been successful attracting some talented and coveted players that I am being told were being pursued by both SEC and BIG schools.

I would like to say I hope you are right, but paying for college players rubs me wrong.

For us or anybody else.
