Thread is proof positive that PORTALing ain’t for the weak
Are the optimistic insiders in the room with us?It is not the same situation and we sure seem to be further behind the eight ball this year. But I am going to withhold judgment until this has played out in its entirety.
This time last year this board was panicking because Ward had announced for the draft and it looked like we were screwed.
I get it, the situation is completely different, but if the insiders are "optimistic", I'll refrain from getting worked up until the dust has settled.

Gaby said he was "optimistic" about the direction yesterday. I refuse to believe that the staff doesn't have a plan. Could that plan blow up in their face? Absolutely. But I have to believe the plan is better than Matthew SupaFly Sluka.Who are these optimistic insiders that you’re referring to?
If we don’t hear anything about a qb hitting the portal today tube sock sales will hit all time high on cis. Maybe a cis tube sock in the cis store?Think it’s time to grab that sock @Cribby
I say we go the high end route…Nike elite sock will doIf we don’t hear anything about a qb hitting the portal today tube sock sales will hit all time high on cis. Maybe a cis tube sock in the cis store?

Why? Because Gaby is preaching patience? He just pushes out the message the staff wants out there.

He is also plugged in. Things change quickly so maybe we will end up looking stupid.Why? Because Gaby is preaching patience? He just pushes out the message the staff wants out there.
Would be way too easy to just go after Mark Gronowski, who is actually in the portal, than to keep pushing for a bum that’s worse than he is lol
But nah. Let’s just ride it out and whiff on the rest of the guys we’re pursuing to make it all more difficult
Not like we open with ND in less than 9 months. No need for urgency.
Sure, I just don’t actually buy the message he was pushing out yesterday.Lmao he just said nothing changed from his quote yesterday
But okay man
I'm not commenting about what is happening now.
And the "seeing the part of the iceberg above water" stuff about Mateer is not nearly the full picture. If message board posters want to give up hope based on one school hiring an OC, that's up to them. We were definitely close to getting Mateer to visit, though.
Yesterday was probably about Maiava, now that that ship has sailed he obviously can't say "we are ****ed".Sure, I just don’t actually buy the message he was pushing out yesterday.
Ehhhh that doesnt sound too confident?
I think the fact that Mario put ALL his eggs in the Mateer basket and couldn't get him to VISIT is actually sad and an indictment on Mario... At least Cam Ward visited us immediately...
If he couldn't get a commitment from Mateer to even visit, he should have pivoted to other QBs immediately... or at least concurrently...
