Seems very late for these kids to be entering the portal. School starts next week for most colleges. Once classes start, you can’t enroll in school and expect to pass your classes. I figure these kids that are entering the portal now or reentering the portal now have a deal with some coaches under the table and know they will be picked up this week. Not playing by the rules but how can it be policed.

Furman will open the football season in 2022 against North Greenville in the Paladin Stadium.
It's been quite a while since the Paladin have played a non-DI opponent during the season, and with only 11 games being played, it will not allow much wiggle room for the Paladins for an at large bid unless they win the conference championship. Clemson is also on the schedule, so most likely that's a loss, and then the N. Greenville will not count, places the Paladins with only 9 games to get 7 wins.
Furman went 6-5 last season, dropping games to NC State, Mercer, ETSU, Chattanooga, & WCU. Replacing NC State with Clemson, I don't see one or two wins out of last season's opponents to give Furman the 7 or 8 wins needed for an at large bid.

Like WCU, Furman was in a number of SoCon games they “coulda/shoulda” won. The Paladins don’t seem to be entirely upset that Quarles left for ETSU because they have not been as efficient on offense the last few seasons. They lost some key players to the portal and graduation, but have a lot coming back (including Blackshear who went into the portal but ended up staying). They have a couple of outstanding RBs so I would say if they get better QB play they will be pretty good. Does that mean 6 or more wins in the league - I honestly don’t know. But my guess is they will be picked in the top 3 or 4 in preseason polls.
But I agree with you, and we have seen this at WCU in the past and especially at Mercer last year. Schedules matter.

I'm not really one to go around feeling sorry for a Paladin, but it seems like Furman belongs in that NIT field. They had a pretty nice team. SoCon deserves more respect than it gets, hoops-wise, and this is an example

this goes to show the Socon will never get that love from the NCAA. They rather put the 4-7 place teams in the ACC and SEC than the 2nd or god forbid 3rd best team in the Socon
