The Portal, 2025 Style

[Boro33]

There's not much of anything that's going to be said to convince you that he's quality, is there?

Big school all-state in Pennsylvania, which isn't exactly like all-state in West Virginia. Two-year starter for one of the state's elite programs. 71 percent completion rate as a HS senior. His completion percentage this year has already been documented.

Yardage per pass under 10? Maybe that's worth a look at his supporting cast, and their YAC numbers. He obviously got the ball there.

You are correct "Rampride" seems to have an axe to grind against Powell. Really can't reason with this kind of a person. Probably was bullied all his life.

Lek Powell in Portal, read those leaves..

Those leaves look like a D1 offer just 48 hours after he entered the portal.

Yes I’m sure to compete for starter at low end D1 school or compete at Shepherd. His choice, good luck to him. This is the start of making smart big boy decisions..

Powell wants to walk on and start without competition which is coming in Shepherdstown. Didn’t pass Ernie’s eye test…

He's throwing his eligibility out there. It went four yards

Appears Powell has just collected an offer from D1 Charleston Southern.

Would like to see Lek come to Ship. I realize he has not received good reviews on this platform.

Lek lost his confidence, he's got ability. I think he can be a winning qb as long as the rest of the offense around him is in good shape. He is not a program lifter, as in he isn't going to make a ton of off scripted plays that would make a sportscenter highlight. And that is ok, there aren't many of those guys walking around anyway.

Good luck to him!

I’m not sure we’ll see as huge a flood of D2 drop-downs as some are predicting. Not every FBS school has been at the 128 player limit and it’s not clear that all the G5 schools (or even some of the lesser P4 schools) are going to be spending up to the new scholarship cap. Don’t get me wrong, I do think we’ll see some good players trickle down from walk-on status at FBS/FCS programs and maybe even some FCS depth player cuts but the numbers I’ve seen people throwing around on here, mostly in the general thread, seem too optimistic.

Yeah I don't think we'll see drop downs but we'll gain those high school kids who were on the margin and took a flyer on FBS walk on

Would like to see some good o-linemen and receivers come in to to Ship to help out our QBs. My main hope now is that they can keep most of this year's recruiting class on campus so they can build something.

[TheBigCat2192]

Kind of. Roster limit goes down from 128 to 105 and the scholarship cap goes up to 105.

This will help FCS and D2 in recruiting because this effectively ends walking on. Basically its scholarship roster spot or NARP. Can't tell you how many times I've seen kids turn down what is most likely free college at a PSAC school only to chase D1 dreams by walking on at a MAC school, which also means out of state tuition because they're all publics.
