Playing football is probably the thing he is best at and loves the most.
'24 CFB Portal
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Looking for the best NIL salary he can get, because he is never going to get an NFL salary.
I’m 52, haven’t played in 5 years and I’m still hoping for a call out of the blue to play for another church league softball team. Why give it up if somebody wants you to play?
2 things I expected to come true just happened. As soon as Mack hit the portal I thought he realized he made a mistake and was coming back. Also, after not getting more playing time and having the horrible slip up in the Orange Bowl, I figured Miller would hit the portal.
Wasn’t he the one that PSU was recruiting his younger brother recently and he went somewhere else? Kindof sucks for depth. Even though Cam had his moments, he was a player familiar with the system and had game experience.
Think Tracy and Washington were catching/passing him. With Harris back, playing time is competitive
Oh, the days where players stayed and competed for a starting position. Stayed and made the most of his opportunity when it came.
Those days ended a long time ago.
We need to find a happy medium. Players need to have the opportunity to transfer if their original choice doesn't work out. Players didn't transfer back in the day because they couldn't many times. It doesn't mean that many more wouldn't have done so if they had the opportunity.
PS I used the Transfer Portal frequently myself.
1. Slippery Rock
2. RACC - AA
3. PSU Berks
4. Albright - BS
5. Villanova - Cert Program
6. Kutztown - Grad School
The staff intentionally went and got Harris and Kimber after that Peach Bowl performance. Shocked he stayed after spring ball.
No doubt, but he seemed to become more of a Nickel or even the Lion defender than the main CB on either side generally.
Couple of interesting points/Questions that I will use this thread to communicate
1. Does NIL allw for Defer payments? So, can a player get some up front money and then get deferred payments over a period of time even after their playing time is complete? This would ensure the player gets an income over a period of time, benefitting the player as well as the NIL collective manage cash. I would imagine putting the money into an escrow would be the safest way to do it.
Heard this on a Steve Jones podcast - Mike Poorman was the guest and he said how he had dinner with Matt Millen, and Millen told the story of his contract with the Raiders, which involved $250,000 deferred payments per year over 35 years. He got his last check this past year.
2. The average for non athlete college students to transfer is 1.5 (obviously difficult to only transfer 0.5). I was not aware that this was the number - frankly figured it would be a lot lower than that. So, an athlete transferring once or even twice is not out of the realm of consistency with non athlete college students.
Tom, if this needs to be moved to a different thread - please do.

Somewhat frustrating. He visited PSU this weekend, and spent good bit of time with DC Tom Allen. Reports were that he was pretty close to committing, but when he reports of Allen to Clemson started appearing, he indicated that he was going to take a little bit of time to consider things.
PSU was in discussions with him, and tried to get him to visit. Rumblings were that NIL was becoming a big factor in his decision; hard to know for sure.
He and Poindexter are really good friends. Fasten your seatbelts.... things could get a bit bumpy before it all settles.
Yeah but Dex is smart enough to know how the business works
I believe Tuesday was the last day they could submit paperwork to enter. PSU then has 2 days to process the paperwork, so it's possible that some have entered that we won't learn of until Thursday.
Another caveat is that graduate students can enter at any time
