Re: Any Portal News Yet
Money or playing time. That will be the decision many have to choose. Rare ones will be starters at power 4, some will start at mid level. Most will be high paid backups and insurance plans.MSU01 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 7:42 amI'll be pleasantly surprised if MSU doesn't lose at least one or two big names in the next week.

I will say, the Dakota schools barely, if at all, lost anyone in the first portal window. We, on the other hand, got hit fairly hard.MSU01 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 8:05 amNo clue, but with all these other players transferring from other schools it seems safe to assume that our guys are also getting offers to do the same...TomCat88 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 7:58 amWho do you think might leave?MSU01 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 7:42 amI'll be pleasantly surprised if MSU doesn't lose at least one or two big names in the next week.

Okay. Seems like the first round we had a good idea who was going. Humphrey, Moore…now it’s not obvious.

Re: Any Portal News Yet
Agreed, it's not as obvious this time but there are still guys who I'm sure some other programs have their eyes on. Particularly the more local players who are just as good as the out of staters that have already left.TomCat88 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 8:24 amOkay.

Re: Any Portal News Yet
Even though nothing should shock me anymore, I'd be very surprised if Eiden left his senior year with all the local love he has been getting. I know Dowler has gotten other offers and I'm sure Jones has as well. Dowler is pretty entrenched in the local/Montana community and his brother is on the team, but if he was offered millions, then I would be less surprised if he moved on. Adam Jones is also a pretty hard core Bobcat now, but I'd also be less surprised if he left for big money. I'm pretty certain none of those guys would leave for a New Mexico, Reno, or UNLV though. I would hope it would have to be a much better program.TomCat88 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 8:43 amYeah, Dowler Eiden IV and Jones for sure.

Re: Any Portal News Yet
Tom made a comment that the Dakota schools and us were reloading each year after getting hit by the portal. I said that NDSU's strategy was to just have more money than the teams that were trying to steal their players(slightly tongue in cheek) and almost immediately Brown was in the portal.SparkCat wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 9:25 amOh no, now I’m confused and its probably because my poor reading comprehension.technoCat wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 9:02 amIt was like they saw my comment to Tom and said "I'll show you!".SparkCat wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 8:18 amI will say, the Dakota schools barely, if at all, lost anyone in the first portal window.

Leaves Idaho a star, plays 1/2 games, goes to Texas State and only lasts spring ball. Can't imagine that is for a better offer, seems more like didn't win job at Texas State.
