I just checked the transfer portal. If I am looking at it right, we have 20 players in the portal. Am I wrong? I knew we had a few but, 20 wow,

After that stellar 2-10 season, I figured there would be more. There should be, and we should be happy about that.

MVB and Craver gone. Better hope JA signs.

ETA craver gone looks like MVB gone if reports are true.

Is this money MVB wants, or money he is actually being offered from other schools?
My one real source told me mid-season Van Buren was getting offered crazy money from "big time" schools. I didn't ask how much or which schools. He told me today Van Buren is asking for $1M.

You're looking at this wrong, total number mean nothing. Number of contributors is what is important. Most of the players in the portal weren't going to get much PT. It's more of situation of them going to places that are better "fits."

How many current/potential contributors do we have in the portal, 4 or 5?

I didn’t realize Auburn was “Big Time”?
The barn has billionaires boosters who are want to throw money into athletics, among them are:

Jimmy Rane
Louder family
Harbert family

Additional they have Tim (Rim) Cook, CEO of Apple, (although he may not be as involved as others) and Charles Barkley/Bo Jackson (not sure of their financial commitment).

No one is "gone" until they sign transfer papers to another school. They can always stay....we just have to re-recruit them.
I read that Sark's philiospy is once a player enters the portal, that player is gone from Texas forever. I wonder how many other coaches have the same thought?

It's not that I disagree, but I do see quite a few underclassmen in this group that we were very happy to sign once upon a time, and how much faith should we have in this staff being able to actually land better talent?

Between this season's results, our inability to spend like other schools, and the coaching staff itself, my magic 8 ball is telling me that we are going to be very underwhelmed with our portal haul

We lost two players that were decent. The rest aren't worth talking about except to say they weren't good and we misevaled them.

The 2 you are thinking about are likely Brice Pollack and Mario Craver?

As I understand it, a player has to formally declare that he’s in the portal. Within minutes of that happening On3 has an article posted shouting from the rooftops that “PLAYER X Has Entered the Portal!!”

Unless I’ve missed it, I haven’t seen that article posted regarding MVB. If the article isn’t posted, the ones who are claiming “We’re losing MVB” look like nothing more than Chicken Littles (or perhaps UMiss trolls).

That’s true, lots of hearsay. Our own media people are the ones reporting he’s asking an outrageous amount though. Who knows.

Well he’s in the portal now.
