2025 Transfer Portal Thread

Unless, it hasn't been updated, looks like Raydar Jones and Chris Keys haven't found a landing spot. Any chance they come back and work hard to get some playing time?

Outside of 4 or 5 guys, the ones who left were asked to leave.

Anybody else find it odd/strange that Norrel White is on campus right now?

Nothing that kid does can surprise anymore.

Is he a take for us?

No

[StateDawg44]

No

That makes zero sense. Then what?s the point of him being on campus?

Not saying otherwise. But why would the coaches even waste the time?

I don't think he's on campus visiting with our coaches. I think he's just there. We didn't ask him to come. The drop/add date has already passed. Even if we wanted him, which we don't, he'd have til summer.

This is going to shock some people, but State and Ole Miss students do visit the other's towns quite frequently. It's not some foreign thing for kids from State to go to Oxford for the weekend to see friends or kids from Ole Miss to do the same.

That?s totally different.

Not directed at you but why even mention it in this thread then?

Great question. You would have to ask the person who brought it in the thread.

Probably took a wrong turn in Meridian when he was trying to go to Hattiesburg and ended up in Starkville.

[BigDawg81]

I thought he was going to UNLV

Just think of players from all over that would have developed and had longer term careers in this sport who will now end up out on their asses because the portal/NIL changing the trajectories of their lives. That remains an untold story to this ridiculous business.

That’s why having a good group of adults around you is a positive thing. An adult telling you to chase a bag so they can get a piece of it are no better than kids.

In general and maybe this is a Mississippi thing- but it does seem like you have more high school players worried about getting money in college than what they could make in the NFL. And it was that way before NIL and the portal.

I guess I will open this back up. Hearing that State could get a commitment from a North Alabama OL this weekend. What are the names to look out for this spring portal?

That we are still bringing in OL is worrisome. Doesn't say much positive about our recruiting or portal the last few cycles.

Not necessarily. The dude could be a stud that fits the program.

He might be a stud, I honestly don't know, but we're bringing in more OL because the ones we have ain't cutting it.

That much is clear. This dude won't be the last one we bring in either.

I?m not too big on any guy coming from the FCS but it?s slim pickings in the spring portal.He will be depth piece at most.

May say more about Kennedy.

I think Loadholt will be a big improvement. Our o-line was pretty bad.
