Dabo went from no portal to top 25 in portal rankings pretty quick

Need to get that up in the top 10.

He didn't have a choice. He had to adapt and I applaud him for doing so.

He has always said he would use the portal when it was necessary to do so...

When you're able to retain a lot of players, there's only so much room for high school recruits and portal players.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

***THIS***

He won't, and he shouldn't, CUT players like the sec and other schools have always done. ESPN should make a new graphic showing how many players didn't enter the portal. My second love Marshall, has had over 40 portal players the past 2 years and will have to do so again for 2025. It makes it hard as a fan to buy in.

Roster limits go to 105 in Juky

Any walk ons above that limit will be gone.

The only problem with that is the last two years

He chose to take late high school lower ranked fall backs where many of them had connections to the program. He could have easily taken 4 portal players each year the last two years and not those fall back guys. I applaud what he has done now with this and the coaching changes the last two years.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agreed.

Better late than never. Stay tuned for the results.

We're 69th

Calm down.

247 only ranks incoming transfers not net of outgoing; on3 is a lot better


Jan 8, 2025, 4:09 PM

Still we're only 36 in their rankings so not top 25

Honestly, 36 with only 3 portal additions is pretty darn good considering most of the top 25 are in double digits.

It’s all about perspective & plus 36th is a lot better than *N/A* ranking by far

Jan 8, 2025, 4:39 PM

Agree with that. It’s progress.

It's quality not quantity while keeping the locker room.

Unfortunately it's primarily due to a corresponding drop in our recruiting rankings. Worse HS class in over a decade means he's gotta do something.
