So it looks likes it's up to ASU alums since the athletic department is not interested in NIL.

ASU gets another transfer, OL Joey Ramos.

The 6-foot-5, 305-pounder played in all 13 games for the Cyclones last year, primarily on special teams.
But in 2020 he played in eight games, starting five of those. That season the Iowa State group was named one of 11 semifinalists for the Joe Moore Award which is presented annually to the nation's top offensive lines. That year the team set a school record for rushing touchdowns (31) and posted the second-best scoring offense (32.9) in school history.
This portal stuff is crazy. https://247sports.com/college/arizo...Football/TransferPortal/?institutionkey=24088
I mean, Gentry had a bright future, hate seeing him go, but our D is pretty deep and the new corners transferring in are a huge help. I loved Pearsall, he will be missed, but lots of good players in the WR room that will hopefully be ready to step up. Wouldn't be surprised if we add someone else through the portal. Silvera, Valladay, Swinson should be bigtime contributors next year.
5 more days left before the portal closes, I'll bet we will see more players coming on board and some moving on, should be fun to watch.
I haven't seen anything more about the quarterback from Florida. I wonder if this means he is not coming.
A starting quarterback and running back depth seems to be a problem.
Valliday is the transfer RB, he should be pretty tough teaming up with Ngata, but you are right we seem pretty thin there.
QB is a big unknown, but the fact that they were looking to add someone could be based on no one standing out in the pack. There is some good talent there, but if no one is distinguishing themselves yet as the standout candidate that may be a concern. Hopefully, one of them will come on strong in the Fall.
They’ve never really committed to being anything other than a second rate program. Rise up every few seasons and then back to meh. Just enough to not lose all support, never enough to sustain anything. Talking modern era not kush/cooper years.The world is full of good intentions. Why are other schools ahead of ASU in regard to NIL?

You're losing another key player today or tomorrow, but I'm surprised more havent defected.
ASU's baggage and reluctance to embrace the NIL circuit will be its detriment. Weird because Herm embraced the professional model when he began.

And the transfer portal as currently constructed.I hate NIL.
I hate NIL.
And the transfer portal as currently constructed.
And I am not saying that just because ASU has been decimated via the portal.
SCOTUS says the schools can't.Some college football players are reportedly getting paid millions of dollars. It's becoming professional sports.
The NCAA needs to implement something like a salary cap and supervision over payments to athletes.
It almost makes the violations ASU is accused of look frivolous.
