Some of their best defensive guys are in the portal. Of course they may just be looking for a better deal from OM and not actually leaving.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out for them.
Sanders and Kiffin obviously think he can win the job or he wouldn't be coming in as a 5th year guy.

Kiffin probably told him that he had the job if he would come to OM. It's going to be interesting and see if this whole QB situation blows up in Kiffin's face and if there becomes any locker room issue(s) develops due to it.

If you have 3 that means you dont have 1 good one

And if I'm Spencer Sanders, why in the hell would he transfer there? He's not beating out Dart and I doubt he could beat out Howard. THE ONLY THING I can think that Lane could have sold him on is a massive NIL deal and the chance to be a package/gadget QB.
The flip side of this is amazing though. They have committed AT MINIMUM probably 2+mil in NIL to their offensive backfield and they're hemorrhaging defensive players. They won't have the NIL to build their defense back up. They better hope they can score 50+ every game next year because they won't be able to stop ANYONE
I see it the same way.

They have lost more to the portal than any SEC school. If they are not number 1 they are close. The portal is so OM it makes perfect sense for them to use it. They have really found a coach and a system that is just like them

Remember last year when everyone on here was freaking out about all those awesome portal guys they got? Got em all the way to 8-5 with a fairly easy schedule. When our poor little team couldn't do any better than 9-4 and a top 20 ranking. They've always been about flash and splash.

Locker room problems.
And I doubt all 3 are on the roster come September

If Lane wants Dart out of there then we need to be back channeling him this second. Dart, Marks, Price, and Davis in the backfield together with Tulu taking jet sweeps would be a rolling ball of butcher knives.

Concur, hopefully he can take a bunch of sop classes and graduate early and have a grad transfer opportunity.

Howard has to realize this ain't gonna work out....

Rumor going around over on their boards is that Dart has enough credits to graduate early and would be done by this summer.
