Transfer Portal

[LonghornCatholic]

A transfer hype video. Weird?

 

[rick mueller]

With what, 112 Division 1 teams, he still has 108 left to sample before he makes his final pick!

If I look up "head case" in the dictionary, will I see his picture?
After watching the video, I don't think low self esteem is one of his problems.

[Joe Fan]

I'll take the over
We are going to have two relatively high picks, Cosmi (last half of R1, I hope) and Ossai (R 1 -2)
Beyond that --

Caden Sterns = rounds 2-4
Sam = rounds 3-7?
Ta'quon Graham = rounds 6-7
Tarik Black = 6th round to undrafted
Chris Brown = 7th round to undrafted
Brennan Eagles = Have to see how he tests. He was an absolute camp test monster coming out of high school. If he can repeat those performances and place himself in the same percentiles again, it will get some team's attention. So let's see how he does ​

I don't see Justin Fields at #12. That's a wasted pick

 

[Joe Fan]

Reese Leitao (on to Med School, I think)

 

[NRHorn]

If you really felt that way young man, stay at Miami and prove yourself there.

4 years in college and zero playing time so far. Kid will be in college longer than Bluto in Animal House. Maybe he’ll wind up a Senator (Democrat no doubt).

Or a Dictator (or should it be Dictater?)

Like Tuber

And I care how much?

Drop a division or go the Ron McKelvey route.

This is happening all over and will make kids wary of the enticing portal outcome.

This is happening all over and will make kids wary of the enticing portal outcome.

This year is like a big game of musical chairs and some guys left with no chair. I lean towards it being just a one year phenomena with the unique covid-portal cases. But I assume it just happens one time, which might be a bad assumption. We will see. Maybe the NCAA will make another adjustment?

Some of these guys might portal to driving a garbage truck.

Do millennials drive garbage trucks?

I think they are waiting for the self-driving models to come out.

Did this guy ever put his cleats on the field?

 

[Handler]

Did Ovie not end up transferring from Notre Dame? Sark didn't mention him in the PC.

 

[Clean]

Did this guy ever put his cleats on the field?

He got some very limited playing time running the Ohio State Wildcat formation a few times. He's a pretty good runner.

Do millennials drive garbage trucks?

Only if they’ve got automatic transmissions.

Unfortunately, many athletes will learn the hard way that it’s not just their current team’s coaches who don’t think they’re good enough to start in major college football.

 

[Joe Fan]

The Reese Moore ship has landed

 

[LonghornCatholic]

He musta wanted to play Aggy.

Ok this belongs in the Hall of Fame.

I am sure some of them are probably being pushed out the door. What percentage, who can say because very few people would want to say that their scholarship has been pulled.

This is really bad news. This is the second highly rated lineman (Javonne Shepherd) that the team has lost in the last 2 years.

Could be.

Some of the more ethical coaches might have a difficult conversation with the player that goes something like this:

"You're free to stick around on scholarship, work out, practice hard, and get your degree. But, realistically, looking at the depth chart and our projections, I don't think it's very likely that you'll be seeing the playing filed much (or ever) during games. If you want to transfer, we'll help you land at a good place as much as we're allowed to. The choice is yours. No hard feelings either way."

Then there's the Mack Brown way. When a kid went to see MB to ask what he could do to better his status and improve his chances, Mack responded, "If you want your release, you got it", and pointed at the door.
