Look to the Transfer Portal: Discussion thread

[DC3]

As a coach, how the f*** do you keep track of all of this? Are you just running a dashboard with position groups by PFF grades? Like, you have a few days to make assessment and then offer someone.

Some use Salesforce and other CRMs to track players. You’d attach film, personal and health info, anything you had on him from recruiting etc. it would be their own grades not pff.

Some schools have it for every team in the conference plus common opponents while they are scouting for the season, on top of what they are hearing/tampering with during season.

Thought it changed to Portal being able to sign same Financial Aid as HS signees??

They can sign all that but it’s not binding for the athletes.

Only binds the school to honor their financial aid

Will trust your knowledge but could have sworn it all changed after they eliminated NLI signing.

Miami, and many other school, pay for access to a firm’s database that tracks the portal entries and has basically compiled all available data on the player already over their career and scores or rates them. Goes back to HS ratings, offers, testing numbers, draft projections, height, weight, etc.

3 of my friends from when I was coaching have now gone into this field. Also they’re analyzing coaches and staffers and have that data, scouting data on other teams, metrics, tendencies, etc.

Portal players never signed a letter of intent. That is HS only

They’ll sign rev share. Still not binding

Mensah not even mentioned in the link in the tweet, in case anyone was wondering.

I mean it changed. They can and always have been able to sign financial aid.

There’s nothing anyone signs anymore that’s binding. Technically. As you can just enter back into the portal as many times as you want

It's just a little weird that they don't have one in-house already developed by now.

This is their 4th recruiting class & they don't & haven't had a single HS recruited C play starter snaps at all for us.

QB, WR & other positions I understand, because that's not what they do, that's not their specialty. But OL, is literally what they care about more than anything. It's their primary focus & everything they do revolves around it.

You'd think they would've found one & built him up by now, but I guess not.

It's just a little odd is all I'm saying.

He went to Auburn and they’ve never recovered from the breakup…

He played like 5 snaps this season.

Well, he was hurt all year. I guess the question is if he had been healthy this year and played, would he be the starting center next year?

My clients use it and sometimes I've come across using it internally, and it's top 3 on my platform hitlist.

Hard to give a spot to someone with no game film. I would anticipate that he has to compete for a spot, but I'm old school.

And I can’t imagine it’s a platform that intuitive to most coaches.

Bane of my existence anytime an audit or consultation touches SalesForce.

It can do a ton of things, but you have to be able to spend for the features, if you don’t, it’s ****. I’ve been at companies where it’s awesome because they spend a ton to get what they want. Other spots where it’s awful because they go cheap for the CRM.
