Football Transfer Portal Thread

[Goldendawg]

We have 3 OL committed so far:

LJ Prudhomme
Ja'Elyne Matthews
Marion Nash JR.

Matthews and Nash didn't see the field and Prudhomme apparently played 4 games on FG unit.

These are facts.

If we are looking to sign these guys so we can start developing guys for the future, I'm here for it. But we need to sign at least 4 dudes for next season, and so far we have not signed a single kid on the OL that we know can start in the SEC. None.

I'm tired of people posting "Just signed another 4 star DL from...." and then check the kids profile and realize he redshirted his freshman year and then barely played is RS freshman year, and so two years into his career and zero production, and yet we are like "4 star - BOOM!!!!"

I'm not sure what we can do as fans, but I'm not going to sit here and eat a shit sandwich and have other posters tell me its a gosh dang ribeye.

Doesn't say much at all about our evaluation and development of our recent OL signees, who we have told to look elsewhere when we sign these types of players from a program like Arkansas, which was even worse than us. These types of players are like starting over based on their HS potential. I will admit that their HS offer lists were much better than our OL signees of the last couple of years, but that's no big surprise at all. JMO.

I mean both can be true. Yeah we need starters. But yeah we also would have been thrilled to get Mario out of HS and now we get him with one year in a college program and conditioning

Sounds good - as long as we are paying him HS OL money where we aren't expecting much next year. As long as we are paying these guys very little I'm here for it.

My concern is that we are paying them transfer portal OL money, where we are expecting them to start next year.

Look, we still have another week of the portal. The goal is 4 OL with starting P4 experience. Obviously a high level G5 player that was All Conference or something, of course that would work as well.

Technically dont we have a bit more than that? I know players must be in within the next week, but they dont have to decide. or are you saying most will have made decisions by then?

ETA: im hoping for more production > potential in the trenches too...just clarifying

What?s up with Mario Nash? He committed Tuesday and now he?s visiting LSU?

A man?s got to do what he?s got to do to earn the equivalent of ?lifetime? of income in 3 years of college football.

Meanwhile many hard workers who have earned about $2,000,000 Total over 50 years of working full time are asked to pony up and pay NIL. Cannot blame them for saying NO!

He doesn't want to be here. His parents want him here. It's plainly obvious. He's done this now twice. It's not even driving the price up. He just doesn't want to be here.

Let’s be honest. State is his fall back.

Then drop him, go get Carde Smith, spend the rest of the OL pool on 3(ish) veterans and go shore up other positions

1000%.

Carde is a guy I've wanted for 2 years. Now if Phat Phil will get off his ass and maybe recruit, we'd probably get him.

The deadline to enter the portal is the 16th. We have until February 2nd to sign guys.

Excuse my stupidity, but how do you embed a tweet on here? I haven't been able to in years.

[KOdawg1]

Young and inexperienced is cool as long as you bring in production and experience to go along with it.

So far we haven't, and we're quickly running out of time to do so.

Post the link, then replace the "x" with "twitter", then highlight link and click the blue Twitter bird button on the left. And post.

Somebody explain to me why you would ever pay money to a kid in the portal that didn't touch the field this year. I mean I get it if they are a backup. But if you didn't touch the field? Color me underwhelmed.

They actually just talked about this in the IU/OR game regarding Cignetti and transfers. He said he doesnt look at how many stars you were coming out of high school. He wants to see how productive you were and your stats. What a novel concept. Oh well, one more year of this charade on our end.
