Mike Matthews to portal? [He’s staying]

[Volfan1000]

Asked for paperwork to be submitted bc he was concerned Nico was leaving. Sounded like this might get resolved last I heard on it but I’ve slept since then. If he goes in the portal still it will likely be on Monday.

Frank Rock of the House Of Orange podcast on You Tube said that the Matthews portal paperwork can be submitted by the end of tomorrow.

I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure I heard they got him. Trying to sort through this mess and have a cold.

24/7 says not but on3 says yes. Not sure. Lots of good WR's available though

 

[thistime]

If he doesn't want to be here.......BYE. I know he has talent and could help no doubt but next year will probably be the same thing.

And another one bites the dust while we do nothing

I was interested in one Bowl/playoff game this year. The facemask call on the first series changed the direction of the game. We had them 3rd and long, they got 15 yds new life, and scored. I watched our 3 and out and knew it was not gonna be pretty. Turned it off and haven't watched ANY bowl game yet. So disappointing. WE need some changes in philosophy, and coaches or we'll lose everyone.

90/10 he stays. He was not able to meet with coaches prior to deadline due to family commitments etc. He wanted his paperwork in as a backup. They met today and made progress. He has reasonable concerns and isn’t holding anyone hostage. Let it play out.

Interesting and hopefully a good sign but I think the first photo is the "in the portal" announcement photo?

Yeah I saw that too. Who knows?

I wonder if it’s Kelsey Pope related?

I've no idea if all that stuff is tossed up "the way it was" if you bring it back or whatever, but I think it's great that there's lots of good Orange back.

So this is just him wanting to get paid? I don't see why he would leave unless it was personal issues. While I think he is a good player and will be really good in the future I also don't see any major school paying him more than us when he has not proven anything yet.

Hell he probably has some sane concerns we all do

CJH wants to be a run first team, he’s about to get his wish. Get ready for 3 yards and a cloud of dust.

So just like this year?

I agree. I feel like we’re really lagging on the portal game. Especially as our entire WR room has hit the road.

Let’s hope we’ve been tampering and have some lined up after their bowl games

I hope bags of mcds money were involved.

Good luck to Matthews in his future endeavors.

He would have seen an uptick in snaps next season.

I commend your magnanimity

 

[Manchester Vol]

I commend your monogamy

Sounds like our coaches or our system are bad. Ryan Williams and Jeremiah Smith play and dominate. Yet ours is 3rd string. We are already at a crossroads. This offense is going to be a major problem.

Very likely our guy is nowhere near the level those two guys are. He could be lazy and not putting in the work or he may not know a route tree from a pine tree..

Just because a recruiting service christened him with 5 stars, some entity paid him more money than he's worth to come here and you believe he should be playing, doesn't mean jack to the coaches.

NONE OF US know WTF is going on behind the scenes, but it sure is entertaining watching people on here get their panties in a wad over baseless speculation.... It truly is.

I heard AP say we are waiting until January to get things going. I don’t know. Just sucks seeing other teams pick up these good WRs.

That tells me they may already have some lineup. If not they are just stupid

Here’s to hoping we’ve got our eyes on bigger talent still in the hunt for a natty.

lol. You are using two absolute freaks as proof. Come on. We aren’t at a crossroads. This offense will be better next year. Calm down.
