How many are we expecting to commit tommorow? Hopefully Arnold does if he is coming. Having him on the boat early could help sway some other players that may be on the fence.

How good is Kitler?
As of now, he is #1 IOL in the portal according to On3Quote:

However, taking bigbub50's comment in the Jackson Arnold thread as accurate, it would seem players from teams that lose their coach (e.g., Malzahn at UCF) can enter the portal early. This could explain Kitler.Quote:

ETA: this would also explain why we've already got Jayven Williams from Kennesaw State in the boat.
Ah that makes sense then. If JA was doing the same tonight would be an issue, but ok with Kitler cause HC change. ThanksQuote:

Have heard that UGA has gotten in his ear along with a couple of other SEC programs.
How many of those are we telling to find somewhere else? Obviously, Pollock is not one of those. We would like to keep him.Quote:

He's on the list. He's going to command a ton of money. I would look out for Auburn, Ole Miss, USCe, State, and a few more. We're obviously an in state school so we have a built in advantage there, but we have other needs besides RB that need to be handled first. DL, OL, and DB are our TOP priorities with this class.Quote:

Auburn WR Cam Coleman entered the portal. He supposed to be a star. This is probably a leverage move.
It is. Leverage move to either make Auburn overpay or he'll go to Georgia. Everyone is recruiting those stud Auburn WRs and recruiting off the basis that they have no QB. My guess is Auburn will have a QB by Thursday.Quote:
