If you are going to get your hands dirty, rather than bagmen and playing with that fire for a HS kid with no production, why not work the system to get the word out to highly productive D1 talent at programs with less exposure that you want em?
Technically the player has to enter the portal of his own volition and a program can’t reach out to them until so…but come on. There are ways and you know it’s happening.
For example, Colorado State University WR Tory Horton. Came with Norvell from Nevada (yes, smart coaches bring their players with them) and he is about to pass 1,000 yds receiving.
Have seen him live and he’s a DUDE.

Ran a punt return back for TD against 7-3 wyoming this weekend.

If i’m going to cross the line and re-load my program, I’m working the system this way.

Hell, bama’s best LB and best RB are portal guys..and they were thriving at legit programs already.

If you have the brand, like OU does, the portal rules equal free agency.. so do it a little dirty.
