free agency in the NFL typically means you are professional caliber.
most of the portal is 3 star or lower kids. very few 4 and 5 star kids and they likely already know where they want to go before they even hit the portal.
You have to stay in contact with these kids while they are on some other team.. I don't think that is Dabo's MO.
I guess while he is recruiting we could just plant the ear worm. "Sorry to hear you wont be commiting to Clemson.. but if you ever decide to transfer give us a call 1st, let's talk"

Sure most are 3 * and below. But there's 2300 players in the portal. Even if 95% were 3 or below that means 100+ are 4* and higher. The portal will be just as important as high school recruiting and any coach that doesn't embrace that will fall behind within the next 3-4 years.

"You have to stay in contact with these kids while they are on some other team.. I don't think that is Dabo's MO."
That's where the adaptation comes in. There are a LOT of things regarding the portal & NIL that aren't Dabo's "MO"...........but as the poster said "adapt or die"...........in harsh terms pretty much sums it up.

Someone with as much influence as Dabo can work to get some of the rules changed, just to make it all make a little sense again.
He doesn’t have to just sit back and accept the sport of college football being ruined. I’ll bet he’s talking with a lot of people about what can be done about the situation.
I think it’s clear that Dabo believes the players can have choices and compensation, but it doesn’t have to be the “Wild West” and completely destroy the sport.

in this. We're already seeing those who will do any and everything; Riley, Texas, standing out right now. Others I'm sure are being more covert. But you reap what you sow. When the rules are modified, and they will be, they'll be even more exposed for what they are.
There are certainly kids where money will be a deciding factor. For others however, that word culture will have even more appeal. Your kid is not just an asset to be bought and sold, but family. Recruiting evaluation will entail more than just stars. Thankfully, we already do that

There is no draft for college football.
It's all free agency.
High school kids and portal players all get to choose where they want to go to school.
