I thought we had battled the portal to a draw or better until this. It's hard to say at this point. We don't really know what we have in QB Annexstad and the others. It's also not over for the '22 season. There are still a lot of players in the portal and many of them are just now coming to the realization that they may not get the type of offers they want so it's time to look at safety schools.This is brutal. Losing your best players every year will cause chronic mediocrity. NDSU and then everyone else in one big scrum. Doesn't help either when former coaches recruit players to where they go, SMU, NM State. You will also lose young talent, ie freshmen/sophs when you keep bringing in 24 year old grad students for one year. People say the portal giveth and taketh but its more taketh when you're FCS
I thought the entries to the portal would stop once the 2nd semester got underway. They slowed but they didn't stop. I'm expecting another uptick of entries when spring practices are completed. If you're working with the 3rd team in practice, it's an indication that you might not be getting a lot of playing time in the fall. Also some grad transfers will enter as they graduate in May. Bottom line - This ain't over. Remain Relentless.
