2025 Transfer Portal Thread

[Dawgology]

So we are going to finish with a transfer portal class outside of the Top 10 and possibly even further than that after the dust clears? 2 4 star transfers after being told we have big things planned in the transfer portal and we have a competitive NIL war chest to lure top talent?

We don't get this many transfers at this talent level without having a competitive NIL war chest. We are 11th nationally with 22 transfers, last year we were 45th with 20 transfers. That is spending a lot more than we were able to last year.

After spring signing, we won't be in the top 20, probably, because the price to play the game has gone up. We will sign a similar transfer class as last year. Maybe 5-10 spots better.

Still waiting on UGA WR to commit to either State or SMU or somebody else. Who knows when though

Dude, you are off on your thinking. How much you wanna go that we finish better than 35th nationally after the spring portal as well?

[CaptainObvious]

How many SEC teams would that put ahead of STATE?

[Pancho]

portal class only?

Sorry misread that thought we finished 35th last season. No I figure we might finish 25-30 range. Still terrible though. That will be 9th-10th ranked transfer class in the SEC…smh

Book and mark.

Go for it. I’d love to be wrong.

As list of worries go, bump is way down the list. His group was the best position on the team last year.

Also, Espy has been better since he got on staff at MRA. Hopefully that continues.

Agree. Bump has done a better job than Mullen did at WR in his entire tenure save 1 year.

That was all Brewster too

If you thought we were going to bring in top guys, then you are either naive or have maroon colored glasses. Our class is actually better than I thought we would do.

[Pancho]

we have done better than most assumed we would be able to. just gotta hope the guys can play SEC level ball for 8 games

Any coach coming to our program will know he has to do more with less. I think Lebby can do that with the wr position. Add that to the fact he probably learned so much as a first year head coach. Half our starters will have experience in the current system. Last year Lebby and hultz and their players had zero experience. We could still win 6 and surprise some folks.

I saw Cunningham not only at Toledo, but a couple of other games. No doubt he didn't like what he saw. Who did at 2-10 & 0-8 in SEC. Many players have no desire to play for a big time losing program (at this point) and be part of a total rebuild. NIL $ will be really big and comparable at best for us and most want to play for championships and national exposure in a winning program. We have a "longn row to hoe" in this NIL/Portal crazy world, l;ike it or not.

I never thought we would but there are some mouthpieces on here that did…big time. Think the propaganda people have been exposed.

The mystery with Evans is nearing its end. SMU folks expect he signs with us today.

Awesome news!

Regardless, we now have an SEC team. We have an identity on offense (running the ball) and we now have talent on defense. I believe we head into bowling season with 7 wins.
