Hearing that the backup to Shedeur Sanders might be entering the portal. His stats Saturday against Utah: 17/24 for 195 yds, 1 TD, 0 int.

Deion on Staub in postgame:
He proved that he wants to play somewhere, whether it's here or somewhere else, and he proved that he could play.

The portal:
Reminds me some of the Cuban refugee crisis where the U.S. was conned into taking the inhabitants of Cuban prisons.
Got to wade through some of this. 5 star guy who never played in three years. Dude who can't pass up a vape shop without committing a crime. Town has a series of unsolved rapes that mysteriously end when said player goes elsewhere. Anyone who commits a nightmarish amount of turnovers.

When someone wants to go elsewhere you've got to find out why.

QB Brendan Soresby from Indiana also hitting the portal.

Damn… no shortage of guys, so absolutely zero excuses for not grabbing a couple.

There's going to be plenty of talent every single year in the portal. I'd go about 50-50 focus on hs recruiting/portal talent. There's no reason to take a flyer on an unknown HS kid when you can grab an immediate need from the portal.

Good question. Everyone is so focused on "who will we get?" but it's a lock that we'll lose someone that hurts.
I'm actually very hopeful that our key contributors are staying. I am certain that our coaches are recruiting them as hard as any high school kids. The portal market has shifted somewhat, with the most value being placed on Juniors and Seniors. Many of our most productive players are frosh, RFrosh, and Soph. kids.

I have also heard there is mutual interest between Howard and Nebraska. But he will be a tough pull, if/when he enters the portal, a lot of big-time programs will be interested.

there's no doubt he's gone from k-state. an absolutely outstanding dude and qb. somebody's getting a winner.

btw, sweet irony here if he goes N with amart having done the k-state gig. i'd love it. a ton of k-staters would be rooting gbr if this happens.

oh yeah snl GIF by Saturday Night Live



If Rhule and staff can get a Major QB Transfer I believe that will relax the fan base a bit and get everyone to the Spring Game.

Add a QB and a few other standout transfers and people will start chugging the kool-aid by January..

Probably me included.

Portal is our only chance of improving next year… but good lord is it a shitshow. Agree 1000%. Kids should be allowed this ONCE, and/or lose a year of eligibility. It’s untenable currently, and now that kids know they get paid, it’ll become Exponentially worse until the whole system is overhauled, regulated, defined.

Haven’t deviated from that. Yeah it’s our ONLY chance of being better next year (whiff like last year and we’ll be worse, for sure), but it’s a shitshow. Wish they’d never have launched NIL, either. We’d be WAY better off if it didn’t exist. I’m not being an ******* about because I like it… we need it. We need to adapt like everyone else and this fanbase is RESISTANT to it.

People smarter than me about this ****, within the AD, say things are being done. I’m sure it won’t happen tomorrow, but I’d be surprised if this DIDN’T become better defined and regulated. They need to hurry tho, because we’re being relegated to history otherwise.

Will Howard - woah. Top target indeed. Maybe AM can put in a good word for us.
I am shocked, as well

kid won them the conference title last year and went toe to toe with Bama for a quarter or so

who's going to be their QB next year? the long haired kid?

He’s the lowest valued QB in the top 25, or was as of 2 weeks ago. RANKED teams, so that’s good. He’d still be a HUGE improvement over what we’ve got (lol that’s not saying much, at all), but we can afford better. IMHO.

Some of the young producers might be sniffing around for cash. Take Lloyd for example, hope the collective takes care of him.

Maybe he was the player to be named later in the AM deal.
