The portal is just another recruiting effort to burden the staff, albeit with less games and malfeasance. Still, to get difference makers in the portal, or even good depth players, 3-4 spots won't be easy for us.

Leach apparently has had enough of waiting around on Perkins, per Steve. He will use the scholly on a portal DB. I have zero issue with this. Ridiculous
It's a big miss if we don't replace him with a comparable replacement. He would've gotten backup reps, but that's a extremely valuable player given this depth chart:
Martin Emerson/Decamerion Richardson/Jay Jimison (walk on)/Malik Sanders (walk on)
Emmanuel Forbes/Esaias Furdge/Jaylon Reed (should be a walk on)/Cameron Threatt (not an SEC player)
That's really, really bad. Now if we go through the portal and get a solid player, then it's no big deal. But until that happens, Perkins is a big miss because we currently don't have anyone lined up.
Gene Swindoll with a crystal ball to Oregon.
Well if Oregon is also indeed dropping him it must be very telling on how he handled himself these past few days. Both teams I’m sure did their homework on his personality and kept recruiting him. So something must have gone off the deep end since it seemed it was a MSU-Oregon battle and now both seem to deny wanting him anymore. I can’t see Mizzou just showing up last minute with more to sell.
