And they’re playing a game… Coach Cig is really impressive.

To the point where it’d just be nice if he went to Alabama for a crap ton of money.

He’s just killing it.

One of the biggest decision that Cig doesn’t have to make is the one Ohio State is struggling with: Where do you invest the time and money?

That’s what this has come down to for the bluest blue bloods. Do you keep going after stud high school recruits with NIL bags (hoping they don’t leave in 2 years), do you just keep hitting the portal hard and tailor off on recruiting, or do you (impossibly) try to do both? It’s becoming clear that college football has changed and Cig has comfortably settled on spending their cash mostly in the portal. But for how long is this sustainable year after year?

Great point. I think it’ll workout for Cig. Looks at the remaining top 4 they’re all heavy portal teams.

Cig and others who go this route get two things. First, they skip the developmental part of a kids career. They’re getting kids who can contribute from day one. Then two, they’re spending money on players who have been there done that and often times ones who have produced.

At this point you should take note of who is committing and try to figure out what they’re doing. It seems the going rate for teams is 50-65% transfers
