Portal Watch

Yeah, kind of feel for some of these kids, because a lot of these guys leaving are either going to find themselves watching on TV next year or from the sideline. We have some hitting the portal that probably won't get picked up.

These guys are going to be buried on the depth chart.

Agree

Yea, some will not find a home. The ones at a D-1 school that shouldn't be.

Even some who are d1 talent. The better ones will be fine but the portal can leave a lot of kids on the outside with no home.

These kids will be situational and back ups, find somewhere you can start and play a lot of snaps

I’m a little surprised Marley Cook is picking up those offers. He had a good year last year but was average this year. I’m not sure why the blue bloods are offering. Maybe, and probably, Stock wasn’t getting enough out of him. I thought he was a great player for a G5 maybe lower P5 school.

I think we will be surprised at some of the talent we had but due to poor coaching they did not develop.

Of note in the photo, 2 - 5*, 83 - 4*, & 686 - 3* players.

With good recruiting and some $$$, you can completely transform your roster.

There's several I've seen that have posted received offers since Monday. Glad to see the existing staff still putting in some work.

I wonder how many of those big time offers are really commit-able.

Schools throw out offers on Twitter all the time. But when it comes down to taking a spot…..they get a lot more picky.

 

[JLVBLUERAIDER]

Yup. Good luck spending the rest of your career on the bench.

Just looked at the portal website and saw several names in there I had not seen posted here yet: Dunnigan (DE), Kinley (DE), Metcalf (WR), Rutledge (OL), Bailey (WR), Peasant (RB), and Toney (WR), Drew Francis (LB)

Steven Losoya (OL) who left us via the portal last year, i think, is back in the portal now leaving MS St.

I thought they are only supposed to get one free transfer ? Gotta sit out after that one free transfer ?

Please tell me they can't just change teams every year now

The rules I just looked up state that without a waiver or grad transfer, you can only transfer once. A 2nd time to another 4yr college means sitting out a year.

Losoya was listed as a senior this year so it's possible he's a grad transfer.

Not in portal but declared for draft.
