2025 Transfer Portal Thread

[StarkVegasSteve]

It’s been pretty damn entertaining so far. Are Arnold and the FSU QB going to be here together now? That could be interesting.

Possibly. I also don't know if the FSU QB ends up visiting. There's so much ebb and flow to these things. It would blow your mind how many of these visits are cancelled last second by both sides. We had a couple of visits last year where we had staffers waiting for kids at the airport and the kid didn't tell us they were coming. We also had a kid change his mind like 30 minutes outside of Starkville.

You and I don't agree on a whole lot Preacher....but we are lock step on this one. I couldn't agree more. They're not kids because they're paid but I mean we're talking about people with not fully developed frontal cortexes. I look at some of the stuff I did when I was 20 in Starkville. I mean dumb doesn't begin to describe it. Now, give me 1.5 million dollars.......it would end badly.

You agreed but then gave the right answer. Of course they are still kids at 20, no matter how much cash you make. That makes you a pro and not an amateur but maturity doesn't come with money.

C34 is going to get jealous that you are praising SVS so much.

Well when they?re right they?re right, no matter what the crowd thinks.

Most are certainly immature, but they have also stepped into the big boy world with their hand out and should treated as a full grown man when entering into these agreements

Seems like we haven?t heard much about inside d lineman. I know we have gotten some edges. Are we on any d lineman?

I think there's a lot of wait and see at that position in the portal. Oatis wanted a BAG and people were trying to see if he would get it to see what the DL market would be set at. I think we'll start to see DL visits pick up over the weekend and into next week. Remember.....they just have to be IN THE PORTAL by Dec. 28th. They don't technically have to decide on a school until the add/drop date of classes.

Expect Bingle jones, Dinkins, and Trevion back?

I thought Trevion was in the portal?

[StarkVegasSteve]

I thought Trevion was in the portal?

He is not as of 3:45 PM CST on 12/13/2024.

[bigbub50]

I think McClendon the freshman could be a sec d tackle in a year or two.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I do expect them back. I think Dinkins and KBG are probably going to be depth pieces. We need Trevion to pull a Preston Smith and get his head out of his ass and play to his potential. It would also help if he could stay healthy.

[Chuck3124]

Uhhh anybody got some info on this Craver coming back tweet?

I think all 3 of those guys can help you. None are stars. But they can help for sure.

Bring all of the Wr's and Qb's back

[StarkVegasSteve]

Yea I saw they tweet. Still think there's a some fences to mend there. I mean the guy almost got kicked off the team a couple of times this year for attitude and immaturity. Him entering the portal just because his buddy was kicked to the curb for the pursuit of a better player just adds to that immaturity. I would be ok with him coming back because the kid has immense talent, but he needs to grow up if he wants to be on our sideline next September.

[confucius say]

Who tweeted he was coming back?

[bulldawg28]

It would be a great decision for Craver to come back. He would have the opportunity to be the #1 WR on an SEC team. That's NFL guaranteed.

He may not have a spot to return to if there is any truth to the rumor that Nic Anderson committed.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Craver tweeted the pin emoji letting people know he was in Starkville. Some people took that as his announcement he's withdrawing from the portal. I wouldn't jump that far ahead yet though.

Ehh....you take a kid like Mario Craver. He's got NFL speed. He's just gotta grow up. If he does that, he has the ability to be one of the best receivers we've ever had.
