assured us that Adams was not in the portal (which while technically true he was in the portal a couple of days later). He told us we had a real shot with Chandler if we hired Burgess only to see Chandler leave before we could even hire anyone.

Coug Connect has access to many of the current players, but I wouldn't put too much stock into other things. He has reason to float information out there, it is what he has at least partially sold his NIL on. He is a great guy and is doing a lot of good, just not a great insider on matters like coaching.
