    There's one transfer DL in the boat

     

    So with Norton on board and UT still out there looking at others, what exactly is the depth chart/rotation going to be at DT? With Morre and Burke, it is unlikely anyone we bring in will get significant play as a SDE. So are we trying to move Collins to second string behind Norton and whoever else they get? Is Collins most likely one of the starters and we are looking to rotate 4 DT a ton?

    I don't think it really matters he's going to get all the same benefits regardless. The way it was phrased and worded leads me to believe the quiet part doesn't need to be said out loud with regards to not counting. 

    My guess is that hes a guy who was cool with not getting a schollie knowing he was going to get paid and also someone who would not necessarily cause too much ire as trying to flaut the scholarship system being a specialist, knowing that it  UT gave them one more scholarship so a guy didn't get asked to transfer

    Seems like this is the big week. I’m wondering how much action we’ll hear about today versus like Wednesday/Thursday because of paperwork and coaches trying to talk players out of leaving. 

    With schools having 48 hours to officially process and put in portal requests, I do wonder if we will get to a point of having specific teams being tagged as “not portal friendly” due to their consistent slow walking of paperwork?

    In truth, is there any benefit to me from a schools perspective not to make it my policy to wait the full time frame before processing a portal request?
     

    The students has limited power here and if it leads to even one case of the school being to persuade a student to pull their name and stay due to the extra time to try and come to some form of agreement, why would any school process anything sooner?

     

    I personally don’t believe that dragging it out has much impact for the star or starter level caliber player, as many of those have offers in hand before entering the portal, but how does this hurt the lower tier transfer depth or development guys wanting to move on? Does adding 48 more hours impact how has spots left enough for this to really matter?

     

    Interesting question that has enough facets to it that it could have some interesting unintended consequences that could be studied…
