Had coffee this morn and got in a frigid front 9. Pal's son is an "agent" for numerous kids, male mostly, who go into portal. His comment to me was not profound.
"Many players I deal with would go over to Notre Dame. Very fair with NIL. The issue is that many have no academic record or coursework that can adapt to anything at ND. Boston College and schools in BIG and SEC will take anyone if they see a need. I had one player in MAC who was taking coursework in 'recreation and playground design'." He's heading to a Texas school. I cannot make this up. He told me that in men's bball, Micha is looking IVY or academic venues like Vandy.
