Interesting to me, that we have some quality dudes in the portal, but none have signed with a new team yet. What does this tell us? They are shopping for the best deal?, they aren't in the bag for MSU? Chile is supposedly looking at MSU and UW. So, nothing done yet. |

They are shopping for the best deal?, they aren't in the bag for MSU? I assume that several are just seeing what is out there. Several may just be trying to negotiate with Oregon State's NIL collectives to stay. Just because they entered the portal does not mean that they are gone. |

You are right it doesn't guarantee it, but returning to the school is the exception, not the rule for sure. |

Akili Arnold and Mascarenus Arnold flew the coop tonight . At this rate we may have to forfeit the Sun Bowl due to lack of players available

None of those players are coming back. |

Did anyone tell them this? Those are one offs....Look at the guys in our portal..There are MANY guys who are starters. Sure everybody loses a few key guys. Almost all of ours are key guys... |

I hate when I see players saying good bye on twitter who were with the program maybe a year and claim to always be Beavers , no if your going to stay one season and bail and leave your teammates and coaches in a bad way before the bowl game you will not always be a Beaver , you didnt stay long enough to forever be a Beaver

Some of you guys do realize that we will also be signing players presently in the portal. Starters from existing teams. The portal is taking away at the moment. It will giveth at a future date.

They are shopping for the best deal?, they aren't in the bag for MSU? It's slower now as it's more like free agency for high end portal players. There tends to be visits, meetings with NIL groups and sometimes representatives are involved since college students can't have agents. |

Did anyone tell them this? ftd is right. We are getting scalped of top talent pretty bad. That's not something we are used too. Good G5 programs are though. |

The guys who want to play for a rookie coaching staff, that has no real conference, no schedule publicly released, no TV deal, and minimal NIL opps? Those guys? I like your optimism, but we are screwed |
