Hittin' The Portal

Lol…Based on what? What is going downhill now?

You do realize that this portal shit is happening everywhere right? Literally 90% of schools are going though get same thing.

Maybe he likes TCU and it’s the right price?

Who’s our qb next season?

Right now it looks like Emory Williams. I think the issue is that we got spoiled with Cam Ward and expect a Cam Ward to be in the portal each year. What are we supposed to do, not recruit any QB and just hit the portal each year? I do think we should add a portal guy for depth purposes though. Personally, I like Williams.

As for the portal, we have less that 10 players that have left. Pretty darn good.

Emory Williams is the front runner

Also…It’s 12/28

And also…What if Emory Williams ends up being a good QB? There was really 1 QB POSSIBLY comparable to Cam Ward in the portal this offseason. Who did you think we HAD to have from the portal besides Mateer?

Jerking around on 24/7 I saw that Jaleel Skinner entered the portal on 12/3 and then just withdrew today to stay at Louisville. These kids are crazy.

KC Concepcion to TAMU. Think UM was sniffing around him, no? Too many names floating in the ether.

The remainder pile at QB seems full. Slim pickin’. See what shakes out in the spring…

Perhaps I was ahead of myself, South Dakota State QB Mark Gronowski supposedly to enter transfer portal. As part of “keeping his options open” vis-a-vis the NFL. Suitable get?

Jacolby George?

And in the “that’s strange, who would want him?” department Jaden Harris hits the portal.

Mario sit him down and say you’ll be lucky to play special teams here going forward?

We really have to start hitting on guys at the DB level when recruiting. Too many misses and/or lack of player development

On that note. Defensive back Isaiah Thomas to the portal.

Yeah, the DB’s are leaving. Not a bad thing but for each one that leaves we have to replace either as a starter or for depth. Looks like our frosh will play alot this year.

Dyoni Hill gone

Flashed first few games including a huge pass breakup a play or two earlier than the VT Hail Mary to help preserve that win.

Then his play fell off the rest of the season.

For a running tab of portal, scroll up to about the 4th or 5th message at the top of this thread

Edit: WR Shemar Kirk too

Well…

Ajay Allen to FIU.

Robby Washington to Coastal Carolina.

I guess there’s something to be said for playing time.

Yeah, playing time matters. Kids can go to a “lesser” school, make waves and get to the NFL.

Welcome to the stupid portal season. I’m going to keep saying it…NO WINTER PORTAL!! Have your window in the spring and that’s it.

Just wanted to add… I (we) somehow missed Isaiah Thomas S from Clearwater (I believe Canada originally) in early January? Added him to the list.

I think we just lost three more recently? Only “big” loss was our DE Kelly

This is what I go off of, having no insider knowledge. And barely any outsider knowledge.

No updates since 1/17/25. But that is likely because a player can verbally state his intent to coaches but not cannot as of yet officially enter the portal. Hard to say.

Per the above…

Isaiah Thomas, Frankie Tinalau, and Ronald Daragjati only UM players without a new home.

Nyjalik Kelly???

He played for UCF this past season.

Daragjati was a walk on, never heard of him…Tinilau we knew, only one I missed was Isaiah Thomas.
