Thoughts on the portal class so far?

Gotta admit I'm pretty disappointed at this point (big surprise, I know). I've said for weeks that we need a Top 5 portal class (or Top 10, at the very least) to get where we want to be. Right now we sit at #28 in the portal rankings. I was really optimistic when Rhule said he had the resources he needed and we'd be able to compete with anyone and get any player we wanted. Hasn't happened and it seems like we're getting more second-rate guys again. The portal window closes a week from tomorrow - we really need to hit some home runs down the stretch. GBR

Anyone who goes by numbers of players have forgotten the 105 roster limit.
The talent level is much more telling

Doing so you find us at 16tth, ballpark with AtM, Utah, PSU, Fla etc. And not far behind TT.

It just closes for players entering the portal. They can sign after it closes, but I'm guessing the a school calendar could become problematic if you want to be here for spring.

Time to move to the quarters system.

Last I saw we were 18. Average 87.67 with 7 players. Ped St was 1st...with 24 players. Their average...87.90. So you are dead on
 
No way to tell how good our portal class is until we see them play in the fall. I’m not stoked nor disappointed in the class. Presumably, the staff thinks these players will provide either upgrades to what we currently have or depth. That’s good enough for me for now. I’m hoping the coaches are figuring out what they need and these guys fit the bill.
