Still true. 

Thought that I may have seen it posted in a Gen X group (1) on Facebook (2).

Last year we were spoiled because the Saban retirement right around this time cascaded the coaching carousel and we saw a flurry of portal activity. I think even the Spring window will be kinda stale for a team like Texas.

As for the Spring game coaches are worried about a breakout backup being poached before the window opens, it is one thing to have 4 star backups, but have one show tape playing lights out is not something they want to deal with.

Well, we still definitely are in the market for a DT, IOL, and K, and we'll probably sniff around most best-player-available types as well. I'm sure we'll have some fun.

Tell me more about these DQ coupons. We talking those metal coins from that got you a free sundae??

I wasn't aware that Akina was back. Guess I better check out the coaches thread.

(Sam Khan Jr.) Transfer portal confidential: What’s the going rate for Power 4 starters?

Quote

We’re a month removed from the national championship game, and the players who transferred from Notre Dame and Ohio State have found homes. So that’s given us a good bit of separation from the winter transfer portal window. Now that there has been time to assess all the roster movement, The Athletic spoke to 13 coaches and personnel staffers across the sport to get their insight on how much it costs to land transfers and build rosters. Coaches and staffers were granted anonymity for their unfiltered thoughts.

Based off what you know, what’s the going rate for a starting-caliber player at the position you coach?

Coach 1: Probably $250,000 or higher (at linebacker).

Coach 2: I’d say it’s at least $300,000 (for receiver).

Coach 3: A normal, average P4 (starting quarterback) is about $900,000. Your better ones, top five or six in the conference, will be about $1.3 to $1.4 million range. You can get average for pretty good price. We didn’t go above $750k for (our guy) but I do believe in him and what he can do.

Coach 5: There were (receivers) late in the stretch who were going for $800,000 to $1 million at some places. At the low end, maybe $200,000 to $300,000. For a starter, $250,000 to $300,000. For some of those elite guys, probably $800,000 to $1 million or even more, which is nuts.

Coach 6: I would say the floor (at cornerback) is $200,000.

Coach 7: $400,000 for a top-tier running back, to me, is enough (to get a guy). Your best pass rusher, your great three-technique, they’re probably getting $700,000 to $800,000. They’re not getting that from us but they are from (richer schools).

Coach 8: A tackle is at or over $1 million. Boundary receivers are about $1 million-plus.

Coach 10: At the premium positions, you’re getting a legit six figures at the G5 level, especially at quarterback. (G5) tackles and edge rushers are probably clearing six figures as well. Once you kinda get past that, I don’t think it’s as high as people think. Probably in the tens of thousands for (G5) running backs, receivers.

Coach 11: A (Power 4) starting quarterback, you’re looking at about $1 million. Running back, depending on what you’re doing, probably $200,000 to $250,000. Receivers … anywhere from $600,000 to $800,000 for a really good one. There were tight ends who went for $650,000 this cycle. Tackles, you’re looking at $750,000-plus — one of them got $1.5 million. Interior O-line, $250,000 to $400,000 range. Edge rushers, I would say $250,000 or $300,000. Interior D-linemen, much more, probably talking $500,000. Linebackers, $150,000 to $300,000, depending on age and experience. You can get some good ones for $150,000. You can probably get an elite one for $300,000. All the defensive back positions, corner, safety, under $400,000. If you’re touching half a million for them, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Coach 12: You can get a good offensive tackle for $500,000. But depending on the situation, it was usually a little bit more. And then, as teams got desperate, it was like $1 million. If you have $300,000 to $500,000 for a receiver, you’re going to get a really good player. We really weren’t in the pass-rusher market, but that was nearing $1 million from what I heard.

Coach 13: Tight ends, anywhere from $300,000 to $750,000. Quarterback, minimum $1 million if you’re an Auburn, a Miami or an LSU looking for the right one. Group of 5 starters (at quarterback), mid-six figures; it wouldn’t surprise me if you got to $800,000 for the right one.

What’s the boldest request you received from a transfer recruit or representatives this cycle?

Coach 1: $300,000 and a guarantee of 90% of the snaps. Or $400,000 from a guy who made 30 tackles. I said that’s too rich for my blood.

Coach 4: There was a (Power 4) backup offensive lineman who wanted us to guarantee him $300,000, and he played like 19 snaps last year. I’m like “Hell no.” I’d rather retain a good young player on my roster who I already know who he is.

Coach 7: An agent — I wasn’t even sure I was going to take this guy — but he said, “Now you need to think outside the box like crypto and gold bars.” I was thinking, “What the f—? What the hell is crypto?”

Coach 8: Babysitting.

Coach 13: An offensive tackle told us if we gave him $715,000 and a car that he would sign with us. I think housing was involved in that, too.

How much total money do you think your school needs to build a competitive roster in your league?

Coach 1: I would say $10 million.

Coach 2: Now we’re going into revenue share so you’ll be at that $21 million cap. So as long as your school is hitting your total revenue share, you’ll be OK.

Coach 3: I would say probably about $13 million to $14 million to be competitive for the conference title.

Coach 4: The goal is to always be in the top three (NIL-wise in our G5 conference). Next year I think that’s $4 million or $5 million. You’re looking at $5 million for G5s moving forward like, “Hey, if you want to be in the game, this is where you’ve got to be.”

Coach 5: If you truly want to compete every year, you better be at $15 million-plus.

Coach 7: We’ve got the numbers at $15 million. We won’t quite be at that. But from a football standpoint, with rev share you’ve got to be somewhere between $13 million and $15 million and also have the ability to get legit NIL for some guys. Another $3 million to $4 million of that will put you in the ballpark.

Coach 8: $40-50 million. That’s where I think it’s going to go.

Coach 9: If you’re talking championship level, elite eight-, final four-level, you need a $20 million roster for that. If you’re talking just competitive, winning eight or nine games, $10-$15 million. The people who spend the most are gonna have the best roster. That’s just what it is.

Coach 10: In a post-House settlement world, the floor to being competitive in our (G5) league is probably in the $3-5 million range. Some schools will be higher, but in our conference, most of the schools will be in that range on an annual basis.

Coach 11: If you actually want a chance to win it, you need $20 million. Anything less than that — unless you’re just a genuinely great X’s and O’s guy or developer — is going to get you just an OK team.

Coach 12: Like, $13 million to $15 million. As long as everyone’s working within the rules and not going outside the cap, it’s hard to get much more than that. You can allocate more to football and go to $16 million or $17 million, I guess, but I don’t think everyone in our conference is at that number, either.

Coach 13: I would say $17 million. To sign high school kids, pay your own kids and get players in the portal, $17 million is a good middle ground.

Does this affect his SEC transfer-ability?  Was he really a part of the aggy team so he can't transfer in the spring window to another SEC team and play next year?
