I don't think he's on campus visiting with our coaches. I think he's just there. We didn't ask him to come. The drop/add date has already passed. Even if we wanted him, which we don't, he'd have til summer.Quote:

That?s totally different.Quote:

Great question. You would have to ask the person who brought it in the thread.Quote:

Just think of players from all over that would have developed and had longer term careers in this sport who will now end up out on their asses because the portal/NIL changing the trajectories of their lives. That remains an untold story to this ridiculous business.
That’s why having a good group of adults around you is a positive thing. An adult telling you to chase a bag so they can get a piece of it are no better than kids.Quote:

That we are still bringing in OL is worrisome. Doesn't say much positive about our recruiting or portal the last few cycles.Quote:

I?m not too big on any guy coming from the FCS but it?s slim pickings in the spring portal.He will be depth piece at most.Quote:

Be aware for spring portal we are expecting roughly 20 kids to be ?cut?. We will be eyeing OL, TE, and WR as well as more DL. Kennedys Portal Haul and recruiting has been described as ?laughable?.
I say all this to say, lot of comments out of camp of how much more organized and athletic we look on the defensive side of the ball compared to last year. Actually being able to rotate guys in, practice longer, etc. Just shows you how much of a hole we were in last year on that side.
Jesse Ramil, OL who transferred from James Madison in December, is transferring out. I would imagine that this is he was processed situation.
Jacorey Whitted, TE, and Donterry Russell, DE, also transferring out.
I thought this thread would have some action right now. Only four days left, right?
I mean the thread is 160 pages long. Most of the action is in the first portal window.Quote:

We have already gotten Jaekwon Bouldin in the boat and are trying to wrap up Blake Steen from Virginia. We have TJ Ferguson from FSU coming in for a visit this week as well. We also will make a run at Cash Cleveland from Colorado and will probably get a visit.
We'll try to get one more DB and with Lebby I would never count out a WR.
We need to overpay for that corner, Wilson. Major need.Quote:

Blake Steen is wrapped up. Big commitment along the OL. He will push for a starting spot. Loadholt doing work.
Sam West, Indiana TE transfer, also in the boat. Will have some nice depth at TE. Gone are the days of Ryland Goede starting.
Good start. He is on a couple of the guys from Colorado and a guard from Florida State. Really wants to improve the whole roomQuote:

So I guess Steen and Bouldin are the likely tackles? Maybe Jimothy Lewis?Quote:

I don't know that Bouldin will be a starter next year. I think Jimothy Lewis or even Luke Work might beat him out. Lee could also shift to Guard if Cleveland committed.Quote:

Nice! Much better group there than before. And we have Jocoby Jackson still around for depth.Quote:

I'm so checked out on football news, who is Mayberry?Quote:
