Going all over looking for nuts. May bypass the Magnolia state looking for them as well. He will take a lot of visits but don't think he visits us, I know some had confidence but I didn't have as much confidence he would visit.

I do still think we get a visit. I know he wants to play closer to home. He's hoping Bama or Auburn will bite. However, I think Auburn is probably done at WR for what he is looking for, and I don't think he's a take at Bama. Now, does that mean he ends up in Maroon and White? No. I know we made him a really good offer. We're still casting a wide net.
I would not be surprised to see a couple of OM WRs jump in the portal. There's also been a ton of rumors that Bama and LSU have thrown an absolute bag at Suntarine Perkins to get in the portal. The next 5 days will be interesting to watch from their perspective.
If I had to handicap the guys right now that we're hearing a bunch about I'd probably be at:
Denver Harris-85%
Stephen Hall-50%
Michael Coats-20%, but 90% if we offer
Squirrel White-40%
Cam Thompson-75%
Markus Allen-60%
Cam Vaughn-55%
Dazmin James-55%
Just an update on our transfers out. Out of the 25 that we had transfer out:
9 went to another P4 school (4 SEC, 2 ACC, 2 Big 12, 1 Big 10)
4 went G5
3 went FCS
And 9 are still out there uncommitted
Good for Hudson I guess. funny that he couldn’t get on the field here. And for all the praise that Pavia got this season, and props to him, realistically he averaged less than 175 passing yards per game. Hudson gonna have a hard time getting touches there either.
And we may not get one. I know our offer is very good. If it's true that he wants to branch out and play in a different system then I doubt we get a visit. I've said this since the beginning of him entering the portal, I don't see how he looks at the WR room at Auburn or Bama(neither of which he is a take at his price) or look at the scheme that Malzahn runs, and will run, at FSU and come to the conclusion he wouldn't be better off here. Also, he talked about wanting to be closer to home......FSU is further than Knoxville from his hometown.
Nebraska WR Jaylen Lloyd is set to visit.
One thing is clear, Lebby wants speed
King Mack, CB from Bama, entering the portal. Would not be surprised to see us make a move for him as well. I think he'd probably be behind a couple of guys but he is originally from Miami and Corey Bell is very highly thought of in the Miami area.
I'm ready for this dead period to be over so we can finish off our team.
Ready to see what WR's we add and see who Loadholt can add to the o-line.
Come on Todd, the portal is the gift that keeps on giving(or takes away). We’ve got the spring portal to negotiate too and hopefully our 2 deep doesn’t get shattered because some think they won’t start. But I get what you’re saying. I’m ready to see what we go into spring with too.
Stephen Hall commits to Mizzou. I would expect we will put the full court press on Michael Coats Jr now.
I think the Coleman thing has jaded our view of that. Coleman was going to Mizzou whether they paid him $0 or 500K. He wanted to go there out of HS, out of Jackson St, and out of Louisville. He finally got to this year because Burden left. He is not going to like it because they are not going to use him like we used him. He thinks they are going to use him like Luther Burden. Unfortunately he still fails to realize he is not Luther Burden and he never will be.
As expected, Aydin Williams in the portal. I would expect us to be involved. Do not know to what extent though.
Apparently, Denver Harris isn?t visiting. State is going in a different direction.
Tried to tell y'all on Denver Harris. He isn't a 5 star talent.
My dream scenario to close on WR recruiting.
-Jaylen Lloyd, Nebraska
-Traylon Ray, West Virginia
-Pick one between Ayden Williams and Dazmin James; either one works
Perkins hasn't been the drama queen like judkins was but golly wonkers , LSU and BAMA are offering him bank.
Probably zero shot here but Elijah Pritchett in the portal.
