Spring games are an interesting look at next year.  Bowl games are the guys buried far enough down the depth chart who don't have a shot at a better NIL deal leaving.

The portal shouldn't open til after the bowls
To echo what Fearless said, no signing day until after bowls, no portal until after bowls, more recruiting dead period from the end of the season until bowls. 

I want newly hired coaches to be antsy because of how little they can do until bowls end.

Penn State aka Peter Principle State U - from Wiki:

"The Peter Principle states that a person who is competent at their job will earn a promotion to a position that requires different skills. If the promoted person lacks the skills required for the new role, they will be incompetent at the new level, and will not be promoted again. If the person is competent in the new role, they will be promoted again and will continue to be promoted until reaching a level at which they are incompetent. Being incompetent, the individual will not qualify for promotion again, and so will remain stuck at this final placement or Peter's plateau."

James Franklin wins 10 games without stretching himself too much by feeding off of Maryland, Rutgers, Illinois, etc. But James Franklin is incompetent at the level of hoping to beat Ohio State, Michigan, and anyone else in the Top 15.

Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss are working P(P)SU in the Peach Bowl right now - 38-17 in the 4th.

Yup, signing day and portal movement is related.   Roster management.

But won't somebody think of the poor children student-athletes?

So almost everyone winds up in a job they're incompetent at?  

That explains a lot.
