2025 Transfer Portal Thread

I imagine we will have to lose a guy before he commits. Would not be shocked to see it be the kid from EMU.

Can we drop a guy that signs a FAA with us?

Well we could tell him to decommit. The OL coach he signed with is no longer here so he could go back into the portal without penalty.

Not worth it to keep him?

[DownwardDawg]

i'd love to see how some of the turkeys posting on here would fare coaching college football********

Probably go 2-10 or something like that. *******
Lol

I do not know that. I just do not know what our numbers look like. We do not need to keep an extra OL at the expense of getting a WR or CB

I mean, except you. surely you are smarter than the actual coaches and fans combined?

Cam Vaughn to West Virginia

Cam Vaughn to West Virginia

That's a big loss. No way around that. Bumphis is currently getting worked on the recruiting trail. It's time to start to have that conversation. Now, maybe he pulls a couple out of his hat, but we're at the point now where you're taking potential over production and that's a scary place to be. You could still get Markus Allen and he was a pretty good production guy last year, but you've missed on some big ones for one reason or the other. It's weird, last year we could get them to visit, but couldn't get commits. This year we can't even get visits. If it was on the defensive side I would understand because they were atrocious, but we actually put some good numbers up on offense.

And yes, I understand he played for Rich Rod at Jax State so he's probably just following him there, but this is a guy that was supposed to visit and we were told by him and his reps that he just was going to push it to when the visits opened up, and he didn't.

I wouldn?t be surprised if the 2 receivers were Cam Thompson and Ayden Williams

Well we need 3. Thompson is not going to get it done. We still do not have a true X receiver. And as much as I do love Ayden Williams, I think he just got buried at OM, you still are taking potential over production. Now the good news is that there will be receivers pop open in the Spring Portal. I know of about 4 right now that if I had to place a bet, will be at a different school when Fall Camp begins. Squirrel White is one of them.

After only a couple months at FSU????

No receiver will want to play in that offense. Gus is running a sped up version of Mullen's offense. He always has and always will. Find me the receivers that Gus Malzahn has put in the NFL. It's 1. Darius Slayton. That offense is not a WR friendly offense. Now I'm sure Norvell sold him on he's going to blend his offense with Malzahn, but I can guarantee you, it will be Malzahn's offense. Also, Thomas Castellanos is the odds on favorite to be the starter. That's a running QB. He's a sawed off version of Nick Marshall.

It?s baffling that Bumphis is struggling to recruit the portal. That is a guy I would have said would be one of the best.

He is, last year he was as well. Recruiting ebbs and flows. Nobody is perfect year in and year out.

I am not saying that those are the receivers that I want but I think that is who commits especially Cam Thompson. We have a visit set up with Williams and been talking to him since or before he hit the portal.

Before. Well before. Not him directly obviously because that would be illegal and we don't ever do anything illegal.

Carter Miller committed to UCF.

I feel your sarcasm there or maybe it is just gas. If you ain?t cheating, you ain?t trying.

Yea looks like the national guys jumped the gun on that one. I just find it hard to believe they jumped the gun and were that wrong. My guess, the kid told those guys he was following Loadholt and then Loadholt told him we didn't have a spot or didn't know if we would and he couldn't just hang out there without a landing spot.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Well since I don't really know what cheating is, or if it's even a thing anymore, I just say if you ain't tampering you ain't trying.
