Tons of offers now including Arizona State, Texas Tech, UCF, BYU, UMass, Boston College. All these schools I'm sure have deep NIL coffers.

Re: Omar in the portal
And new offers now from Memphis, and Arkansas which is SEC and I'm sure has huge NIL money.

If 8M is their annual budget he would likely get a portion of that but obviously not the entire thing.

MSU loses players to the Big 12, Big 10, and ACC this off-season. Maybe someday I'll get used to the idea of Washington being in the Big 10 and Cal in the ACC. Hopefully the coaches can use this as a recruiting tool to get some players to look at MSU who might not have previously.

Re: Omar in the portal - Chose Baylor.
Would we rather have great players like Omar and Rush who stay for 2 or 3 years, or mediocre ones who stay for 4 or 5? I'll take the former option especially when most of the great players are sticking it out for their whole careers.AFCAT wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:13 pmYeah!

Re: Omar in the portal - Chose Baylor.
I want them to stay the whole four year playing career but I'll take what I can get. Not sure I'd sell it as the place to leave after a couple of years. I'd be surprised if that is in the selling brochure but you never know these days.MSU01 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:15 pmWould we rather have great players like Omar and Rush who stay for 2 or 3 years, or mediocre ones who stay for 4 or 5?

Re: Omar in the portal - Chose Baylor.
That's a good point I never thought about.

I hate pretty much everything about NIL and the transfer portal, but given that it isn't going away, it is true that the fact that our guys are transferring to Power 5 schools certainly helps us.MSU01 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 10:48 pmMSU loses players to the Big 12, Big 10, and ACC this off-season.

Any recruit who does a bit of homework can see that if they do well here, they will have opportunities to move up if their hearts are set on it. And I would definitely rather have 3 years of Seabass or Reimer (especially if they leave with their degrees) than four years of a mediocre player.

Vigen shot that downing his presser. Said they do promote you can get to NFL but doesn't think promoting being a stepping stone is good to do.CelticCat wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 1:03 amThat's what I've been saying MSU should be pitching to OL in particular.

Re: Omar in the portal - Chose Baylor.
We need some local businesses to start putting up some REAL MONEY!!!! Do we want to start losing all of our best players to bullcrap NIL deals?!?!?
I think the Grizzzz has their own thing like this. They are trying to buy out the Cats! Probably offered Tommy half a million to play for them
