Stu Smith picked up a Purdue offer , good luck to him, strange he didn't quick snap it up?? Cause it’s a PWO. You don’t even have to go back to the 20th century to find a time when someone intentionally conflating a PWO and scholarship offer would be laughed out of a room…at least at parties.

If HC players graduate from HC, enter the portal and get to play w/ an FBS team while receiving big NIL money, what could be better than that? Sign me up. I'd sign on the dotted line to the highest bidder in a NY minute. Great to see HC players in the big time. Entertainment, "schmesertainment." Show me the money. It's big time professional, college football. Makes me proud & they get a good head start on a financially successful career. Great for future HC recruits. They indeed can have it all by playing for HC.

That destination accompanied the very first indication Brosmer was going into the portal. Shouldn’t shock anyone that some prudent kids (and schools) know precisely where they are going before they hit the portal.

Can’t get it myself but from the NYTimes today:
“Transfer portal: More than 1,000 college football players entered the portal yesterday, the highest one-day total since its inception.”

These next few weeks will be very interesting for Sluka - the portal opened yday and a slew of high FBS qb’s hit the portal - I fear that Matt is going to slide down and ranks of availability qb’s

Perhaps his best chance at continued national exposure next season will be back at HC.

I imagine Matt will go to JMU if Chesney goes there.
JMU fans seem all but assured the new coach will be announced today, so we shouldn't have to wait long at this point.

I’m not sure you’ll see Sluka follow Ches. I could be dead wrong but I don’t see that happening.

Yeah, purely my speculation. I've been trying to peruse the boards of bigger schools needing a QB. Most seem to not like Matt's throwing mechanics or don't trust him to come in a be a day 1 starter and they'd want him to come in and have to fight for the job with another portal QB.
I was just thinking those things might push him down to the G5 schools, and at that point, sticking with Chesney may be a better option.
I'm going to keep poking around to see if I can find any schools meeting with him, etc. but so far he's done a good job staying quiet about it.

Had an interesting interaction with a die-hard FSU fan yesterday on Twitter. He wanted to see Sluka come to Tallahassee because he thinks the offense from Jordan Travis fits him and they have other offensive pieces returning. There are big fish P5 QB's hitting the portal, who will garner more NIL money and attention (think the OSU QB), but there are many others who were G5 as well as some P5 backups. Matt is a stronger replacement than that group of portal players. If BC went to JMU, I think he only follows him there if, a.) no P5 offers him playing time, b.) the amount of NIL money is better than he would see at other G5 schools. The Sun Belt is stronger than the CUSA right now, but perhaps not as strong as the American. I think Matt needs the right fit both in terms of playing time and offense. Nebraska and, actually, FSU are good fits offensively.

It just felt better than my desired post about his parents' delight in giving it up at hc so they can pay his way big time to likely not play much.

Aside from Smith and Rosenberg, any other underclassmen enter the portal?
