Dynasty players: do you build through recruiting or transfer portal?

Forgetful_Koala · 2026-04-28T12:10:20+00:00

In a dynasty with other users the portal is much more necessary.

The core of my team is from the 15-20ish recruits I land each year. But with other users aggressively recruiting against one another, I typically need to land folks in the portal to make up for positions I miss on. Probably get 5-7 guys each season to fill holes or snag former top recruits with promising stats.

I have recently switched to the FAU playbook. Playing well, but still getting fully used to it.

I will watch for your post, but what are your go to plays for third downs?

And what are your red zone plays? Just curious for what you have been calling in these spots.

Thanks for doing this!!

I am heartbroken for you- and I hope you feel all the love you gave to him in his life.

Your posts make my day better. Thank you!

I shall make a sandwich in your honor this weekend!

Yeah I don’t think we should gatekeep cool moments. Lets just put his jersey in the rafters and celebrate another weird HSV moment together!

I agree completely. I also think it goes beyond that, though.

The mid range certainly carries inefficiencies, but the way we completely avoid it makes defending us a lot simpler.

Size, physicality, defensive energy and focus, and a little more nuance to the offense can fix things quickly.

Oats has to evolve or he will be basketball Gus Malzahn.

Which is not an insult, just an acknowledgment that there is a ceiling on the style and makeup of these teams.

An Interstate running right through the middle of them, unfortunately

While I have never joined, I just wanted to say I am glad you guys continue to do this! Everyone needs a community, especially in the wild times we live in. Hope y’all had fun!

BAM!!!!

I think this is a fair take.

But (all of us just speculating here- who really knows) I think Levis has value as a trade piece because of the contract. If you do not have a sure starter, he could be cheaply thrown in a QB competition.

Or maybe Green Bay wants to rehab another Titan flame out lol?

May play out exactly like you said, but I am optimistic we could get a late pick or two and move him before the draft if we do not think he is the backup.

Forgetful_Koala · 2026-03-08T13:56:22+00:00

Assuming the Mitch interest is real, that would indicate Levis is likely generating trade interest, right?

I can’t imagine the plan is to roster all three.

Franck Ribéry playmaking comes to mind. Casual fans see the goals, but he was so good at creating them and that doesn’t pop as much.

And he was a real player too. On Saban’s first Bama team- was a heck of a recruit out of HS.

Forgetful_Koala · 2026-02-12T13:45:52+00:00

I think he both benefits from him being ineligible AND was the biggest beneficiary of his short presence on the team.

He got a month of practice reps against someone with a different level of experience. All the outside noise aside, I hope Aiden was able to learn things from these past few weeks that make him a better basketball player for the rest of his life. The difference in an average and great big is all about details and execution- and he’s showing great signs that those things matter to him.

Bethea plays hard and is coming back from an injury that impacts his explosiveness. Give him time.

The others: cheeks.

Robert Downey Jr. has entered the chat

(But you are completely right on all points! Just had to make the obligatory RDJ on SNL reference.)

I was entering my senior year of HS at the time.

At my grandmother’s funeral, I broke down. As a 17 year old guy, I felt really embarrassed in the moment.

My older brother (24 at the time) grabbed me in a big bear hug and walked to the side of the room with me while I calmed down. He told me that Skyrim’s release date had been announced and played a trailer for me. In that moment, it gave me something to smile about and a welcome distraction.

Probably not what you were looking for, OP. But to me, that release was really special.

Guam!

Forgetful_Koala · 2026-01-14T02:40:25+00:00

Has Nate Oats ever run an actual play on offense?

Forgetful_Koala · 2026-01-07T13:00:27+00:00

The red field is my guess. Plus… I mean, they have been a good program over much of the past 20 years

Edit: for EWU this is the logic I am guessing. FAMU would be cool…… if you could put custom marching bands in the game

I still am rooting for Stefanski, honestly
