A good analysis in the NYTimes Athletic on the soaring NIL valuations for top players - position by position. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6939168/2026/01/05/transfer-portal-nil-revenue-sharing-pay/

I don't understand a fair amount of this portling, so I just looked it up myself.

The Ferrelli departure bugs me more than Cade's. We burned a rs year on him and helped feature him to make ACC freshman of the year on defense. Plus he's a California kid. I suspect Cade is uneasy moving into Tosh's scheme in a very make or break year for him.

We didn't burn his RS year. He was awarded RS year in his first season

RS = Redshirt year.

Outside of coaching college football, McGilvra is also known for his training of NFL talent. McGilvra hosts some of the top tier talent every off-season including: Khalil Mack, Aidan Hutchinson, Quennin Williams, Kenny Clark, Laitau Latu & more. McGilvra has a roster of over 50 active players that train with him over the off season periods as well as 16 first round draft picks. McGilvra has been known to develop some of the top talent for every NFL Draft cycle & All Star Games (Senior Bowl, Shrine Bowl) and will have another first rounder in Mason Graham (Michigan) for the 2025 Draft. During his bowl game prep McGilvra has had three players win MVP honors at the Senior Bowl. McGilvra has worked hand and hand with NFL teams to help them develop young undrafted free agents on their rosters, such as; LA Rams, LA Chargers, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans.

Thanks really good intel - excellent value prop for a 3-4* trying to increase and properly position his value, especially an upperclassman or grad transfer.

The portal gives, the portal takes. All hail the mighty portal!

Losing both Cade and Ferrelli is a huge bummer, hopefully we find suitable replacements.

We never got much in the way of pressure on any opposing QB, so I am hard pressed to cry any tears over Bush.

Oh well, next Bear up!

I absolutely do not worry about losing Bush, but McCulloch is a tough loss on the outside.

Suggestion for Tosh. Hire a linebackers coach.

And a full OLine coach or make Anae official.

It looks like Anae is still recruiting for us, so he's retained?

Really wondering if Tosh's choice might not be able to announce publicly. Maybe they're still with a playoff team and they don't want to trigger portal activity right now?

But, yes, we do need at least one (with teams often specializing with ILB and OLB).

If Tosh can't find any coach, he should hire Wilcox. He might have some connection with Uluave already.
