The Portal, 2025 Style

They'll (players) bounce outta there like bugs starting Monday.

Cute story while it lasted.

Maybe. Maybe not. QB Ostrowsky is on the Spring Roster. So is RB Damir Green. Should be interesting to see what happens. It's not like Mulrooney is taking these guys to Brown with him. They will do an authentic national search. We'll see what comes out of it. Mulrooney had strong coordinators. I think the DC who came with him from New England probably has the same connections to recruit in NE and NY.

It could go either way. I wouldn't write them off just yet.

A family member of mine once visited Minot to see her then-BF who was stationed at the AFB up there. Said it was a very dreary place in October. I can only imagine those late-season Saturdays are going to be rough for a pair of dudes from the Sun Belt. And agreed on Diaz especially with the potential increase in the scholarship cap. You’d think that one of the crap tier FCS teams in this state at least would have given them a call even if none of the big FCS teams wanted him.

Coaches get too enamored with height and weight. The LB is small (despite being a tackling machine). The DL is on the smaller side, too (by DL standards).

That's the only thing I can think of ... both are tough players. I was hoping Tort was going to grab both.

They have a nice stadium. But two guys from Florida trading Edinboro, PA for Minot, ND is a little comical. I'm really surprised that Diaz wasn't scooped up by a quality program or FCS team.

That’s like moving to a different planet. For a short time I lived in Bismarck, ND and have been in Minot, ND several times. Why anyone would go there on purpose is beyond me.

Minot State has more one-win seasons than winning seasons since moving up from NAIA. Hopefully they’re getting some serious scholly money to transfer to an abysmal program.

Gonna post this here because it seems like it fits. Dan Mulrooney goes to Brown as their new Defensive Coordinator. He used the Transfer Portal to get himself a D-1 coaching position! good luck Coach Mulrooney.

That's what young(ish) coaches mostly do.

We're a stepping stone league for them. It happens constantly. Keep angling for the big coin. He was making peanuts at Lock Haven.

Well Lock Haven sucks again!

Ms. Taylor is laughing somewhere.

Edinboro's Wilfredo Diaz and Zach Malpica both transfer to Minot State in North Dakota.

Wow. That's quite a leap.

Who does Lock Haven get as a new coach?

Interesting recruiting battles going on for several FCS transfers.

There's a couple WRs, DL and OL ... all with offers from IUP, SRU and Cal.

IUP does have an FCS RB in the mix (I'll drop the name when confirmed signed).

Tort is also in heavy on several PSAC transfers (aside from the two already signed).

It's interesting to watch this chaos manifest ... even at this level.

That's wonderful. So let's use all that extra time and educate yourself by taking a class or two at a local Community College 🤓

I’m sure I can teach them a few things🤩
