The dominoes are starting to fall with LR players hitting the portal

[Bearhof]

Very disrespectful comment on LR Eagle 74. Doesn’t really surprise me though for you have always liked to stir the pot.

[Eagle74]

I'm just curious where we can get 2.14 hot dogs in this economy!

For years they were $2.14 but they've had a slight price increase (like everything else in the past few years), they're now $2.69 at Shake-N-Dog, not to far from LR's campus. Even at $2.69 they're pretty good.

That LR 'Hall of Fame' recognition, aside from appeasing a hand full of people will get you a hotdog from Shake-n-Dog for $2.14. Now, meeting your ultimate true aspirations will be priceless.

JR if true is making a huge mistake. Need to check that self centered ego that’s messing up your legacy of three years. No future Hall of Fame.

Kelin Parsons committed to Mercer

That's great for him, glad to see he was able to make the jump up. Would be interested to know what kind of financial aid he will be getting and also how much playing time he gets.

At that level it is all or nothing. I am assuming it is a full ride since he had so many full scholarship offers. It will be interesting to see if he plays or not. He is a very talented corner. Probably one of the best in D2. We will see if it translates to the ACC!

How scholarships work per level...

D1 FBS - 85 scholarships. (full ride or nothing. Can not be broken up). Pre season roster limit 105. No more than 130 on a team.
D1 FCS - 63 equivalency's. (Can be broken up but most players are on full. Some are on half). Pre season roster limit 105. No more than 125 on a team.
D2 - 36 equivalency's. (Can be broken up however the coaches want. Only top players receive full rides. The majority owe at least the Stafford loan of $5,500 per year. Combines Academic and need based scholarship with athletic scholarship). No roster limit.
D3 - No athletic scholarship. No roster limit.
NAIA - 24 equivalency's. Wild West. No rules. Do whatever you want

JR if true is making a huge mistake. Need to check that self centered ego that’s messing up your legacy of three years. No future Hall of Fame no homecoming letting your teammates down and coaches and fans. That’s not the Maye I know and definitely not something you will be proud of later in life. I sure hope this news is fake news.

What players do not realize is the first thing a HOF committee looks at is who had record- breaking seasons. If you are on the verge of breaking a school record or conference record, you should consider staying and breaking it. Otherwise you'll drop in the HOF voting. Coming from someone who has been on those committees.

Also, speaking of the portal, I just saw Mooresville stand out Jawarn Howell entered the portal from SC State and committed to the University of South Carolina. He was on campus at Lenoir Rhyne for an official visit out of high school. Potential D2 player who made it to the SEC. Crazy how recruiting works with the portal

I haven't seen any with commitments so far but have seen some post of offers, most are FCS but I did see JRM posted offer from Coastal and one guy said offer from Wake. Don't recall any SAC schools being shown as offer.

[BearFan1]

Can anyone provide an update on the LR Portal Guys? Where they have committed, offers, etc?
Any news from other SAC schools also would be interesting.
