Portal Movement in the NSIC

[Matt Witwicki]

I'm putting this topic in here to better track that kinda movement. I will not be slaving over twitter hours at a time trying to sniff this out, but for those that are inclined to..feel free to post info. Thanks.

Will Berry from NSU was another one who was getting interest.

Minot's freshman QB, Cole Hentges jumped into the portal and quickly accepted a PWO with UND in Grand Forks. Here are a few from the Fargo Forum. I know some of the team specific threads here have players listed. Interesting to see who moves around, moves on, or stays put (and where they end up going)

DI offers now coming in for Martinez with East Tennessee and East Kentucky. Also offered by Davenport.

I think I say every time that I don't really care where these guys land and probably shouldn't spend the time I do looking at their offers, but I am also a little curious to see where these folks go.

Hopefully not jinxing anything but I haven't heard any USF players hitting the portal. Which is a good thing after last years mass exodus.

Not a transfer, but NSU's Jake Oliphant declared for the NFL draft

I too haven't heard of any portal movement at USF. Although most of my info comes from this site, so it's not like I have any inside information that anyone else doesn't have.

Saw Ian Marshall “declared” for the draft as well.

Is this like when Michael Scott declared bankruptcy? Can I declare for the draft too?

Yes, actually. That's a good analogy haha.

Not sure why D2 guys feel the need to announce they are "in the draft." Seems like a relatively new thing too. IMO, not that anyone pays that close of attention, but it looks awkward to declare for the draft, then not get drafted.

Heard the punter is in the portal. FWIW.

Yes....we've noticed this trend since COVID...."declaring".which to most people would imply you are foregoing your final year to head into the draft. It feels like it's being done as a celebratory moment for the player as their college career ends and they hope that due to the success of it....they get a shot in the league.
