2025 Transfer Portal Thread

[Coursesuper]

Well of course it's deeper than that, but a horrible hire after Leach's passing is the root of it.

Taking 3 guys in the portal with MS ties isn't the reason we're where we're at, which was the post I was responding to.

What! Some of you people need to see things god what they are. This disaster didn?t happen in two years this is 3 coaches and 1.5 dumbass AD?s and a boat load of idiotic boosters in the making. Your argument about not taking a kid that might can play is laughable. If you can?t tell what is going on this is open tryouts when you get here, you cut it or yo ass is gone. We have no choice we are that far behind due to our own dumbassery.

BINGO. We will have multiple players "transfer" after spring ball. But it will be because they were cut.

You've completely misunderstood what I was saying, but I'm tired of arguing with the 4 people left on this message board, so I'll just say okay and move on. Jesus.

Squirrel White just entered the portal. Remember what I said about those receivers still in the playoffs........


Also, his damn name is Squirrel. He was meant to play at Mississippi State. I can tell you though, Kiffin will try to get him solely because of the squirrel that ran on the field this year, my bad they released on the field.

Where's he entering the portal from?

[StarkVegasSteve]

I'm just gonna circle back to Squirrel White, I would not be surprised if we were a player there.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Tennessee. He wants to be closer to home, which is Clay-Chalkville. I imagine in a perfect world he'd go to Auburn or Bama, but I don't believe either of those rooms would take him at the moment. He'd be the Coleman replacement everyone is clamoring for here. He's a player and even at his height can play outside. Our offer is gonna be good.

Commit incoming. Would be blown away if it's not Raishein Thomas from Northern Illinois.


Update: It was him.

Still don't believe we have a legitimate DL?

[KOdawg1]

Thomas is a good get. He and Red Hibbler at DE is a good combo.

I'd like to see us move to a 4 man front next year.

DE- Raishein Thomas... Red Hibbler... Deonte Anderson... Terrance Hibbler
DT- Will Whitson (hopefully)... Trevion Williams... Kendrick Bingley-Jones... Jaray Bledsoe
DT/NG- Kalvin Dinkins... Kai McClendon... Derron Reed... (Need another starting level portal player)
DE/Edge- Mi'Quise Grace (Hopefully)... Malick Sylla... Donterry Russell... Lakendrick James... Nevaeh Sanders

[StarkVegasSteve]

I never said we were not getting legit DL. Actually quite the opposite. I said we were having to bring in so many because our DL was crap last year.

We have gotten tons better at EDGE. Still worried about DT though.

No, many were the root of it. Leach and His ridiculous approach to recruiting killed us, along with Cohen's approach to NIL. Throw in Arnett, it's it's been a problem for years with many irons in that dumpster fire.

[bigbub50]

Neck beard said we were aiming at 15ish out of the portal. We are now at 17? How many do we end up with?

[Cooterpoot]

We still have one of the worst DL in the SEC regardless of who we sign at this point. But it's better than we had last year by a mile. It's enough to help out the guys behind it anyway.

Y'all are still missing the main point of what I'm saying, but whatever.

22ish

Stop it

I'll jump in if you feel like fightin' someone new, KO****

[Goldendawg]

I have been reading this thread with great interest since post #1. It seems like about 90% of the analysis of everyone we have signed or hope to sign is that "or he will at least be a depth piece". Are we getting anyone that we think can be a day one starter or dare say a difference maker in the SEC? I have as little hope in our situation than I have had since predicting Tech and Ten. I don't want maroon colored glasses, but we need more talent than a depth piece or a big guy to practice against on the Scout Team.

I don?t think all of those players will end up as Jack backers in this scheme. Sanders and James will probably be SLBs in the base defense, high they won?t be in a lot. They will find ways to get Sanders on the field in pass rush situations. We could see some nascar packages that have Sanders, Grace, Hibbler, and Sylla as your defensive line.
