2025 Transfer Portal Thread

[DEDawg]

Are we planning to be a player with Mike Matthews?

[confucius say]

Don't these players get a chance to enter the portal after the spring games !! So what is there to get excited about now ??

Which is why I'd no longer do a public spring game

That's a smart move. No free advertising

Which is what a lot of programs will start doing in the next year or so. Kiffin was ahead of the game with the stuff he did last year. Just make it 7 on 7 with mini games if you are letting the public attend. Have your actual spring game closed to the public.

The spring game is pretty dumb. In general.

But at the same time I don't know that I want our guys participating in a slam dunk contest. That's probably even more dumb.

[Todd4State]

Anyhow- anyone that we can pick up from Colorado in the portal?

[HoopsDawg]

It?s kind of ridiculous that you can transfer twice in a year.

spring portal is not very strong. usually players that are buried on the depth chart or cut. there are a few exceptions of course.

There's always a backup that was competing for a starting job that for whatever reason didn't go the way they anticipated.

I don't know about the portal but they have wayyyy more talented WR's than they can use.

Yeah, that would be dumb as hell

I believe that. No doubt Prime can recruit. Time for us to go hunting. Prime can?t keep them all happy!

I guess it will be tomorrow again when Whitson announces?

I'm beginning to think someone got into his ear and he is pushing it back to get a better offer. Just my guess. No inside knowledge, but just kind of reading the tea leaves. Kind of sounds like a Jadarrius Perkins situation.

[BigDawg81]

I keep hearing that he has already signed the paperwork but I keep reminding myself that this is the Wild Wild West and there are not any rules really. Can?t he get back in the portal in the spring?

He can. And he's apparently signed the FAA paperwork but that just means he can't go to another SEC school. And even then there's a workaround to that. Rashad Amos did the same thing. He signed with us and OM wanted him. He decommits to commit to Colorado so he has a place in a class and gets off the FAA stuff with us so he can commit to OM.

Yeah, I can be sold on a kid delaying his announcement once, but when it happens twice, he obviously doesn't want to come out with it yet.

Still might land with us, but something is up.

Agreed. My uninformed guess, there's a team trying to get in the race for My'Quis Grace, who is close with Whitson, and they are offering Whitson, and tying to get him to delay things or backtrack to get in the game with Grace.

[KOdawg1]

According to PJ, the rules have changed. Once you sign financial documents, you're locked in with that school and you can't go to any (not just SEC schools).

Idk why he just doesn't come out and announce but he's signed and he can't go anywhere else.
