'25 OG USC transfer Emmanuel Pregnon (Oregon)

[PlanetVolunteer]

Can he play tackle? Do we really need another guard when we have Karic and Moe's? Easiest position to fill on the o-line.

 

[MemphisVol3]

Yep

I wouldn't really count Proctor though because he signed with Bama out of high school. He transferred from Bama when Saban announced his retirement and went right back to Bama after 3 months. He never played a single down for anyone but Bama.

Yes.

Karic isn’t guaranteed to come back and he’s replaceable anyway with an above average OL from the portal

 

[Adam Sandler]

Okay McGhee Tyson, don’t let him on that plane

“Sir could you step over here with me. We’ve detected a suspicious material on your hands and are gonna need to talk to you for a minute.” Then put him in a waiting room until he misses that flight.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Kadyn Proctor to Bama

Damien Harris to Miami (1k rusher this season)

Baron transferred from LOU to Miami in spring

Dylan Edwards from COL to K St

Simeon Barrow MSU to Miami (5.5 sacks this season)

Sam Brown HOU to Miami (500+ yards receiving this season)

Derrick Harmon MSU to Oregon (5 sacks this season)

Demonic Williams TCU to OU

Keandre Lambert-Smith PSU to AUB (980 yards receiving this season)

Malik Kelly Miami to UCF (5.5 sacks this season)

Elijah Badger ASU to FL (808 yards receiving this season)

Elijah Herring had a big year for Memphis, now headed to FSU

Zahkari Franklin Ole Miss to Illinois (650+ yards receiving this season)

Henry Parrish Jr Miami to Ole Miss (678 yards rushing, 10 TDs this season)

Etc etc

Nice research

 

[T2P_Priceless]

Nice research

I will certainly give him credit for the research, but this list doesn’t make me feel any better about waiting for the Spring portal unless it’s for depth only

Agreed. If you’re lucky to get one quality spring transfer and we’ve identified we need 3-4, then yeah I don’t feel better if we see nothing before then. But he did adequately refute your claim.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Any speculation as to who the other SEC team would be? I’d rather he not take that visit. Bad enough as it is to battle Oregon and need to weather a Texas visit too.

It's mainly based on the assumption that our pass game is what it is. Nico isn't going to get much better and our WRs aren't going to create more separation. If that's true, then we'll again be relying heavily on the run game. With Sampson gone, it seems like the only way to win a playoff game is if our OL is good enough to impose their will on a playoff-caliber DL. I don't think that happens without upgrading at least a couple positions on the OL. Adding Moe and Sanders is a start, but adding Pregnon would strengthen what I presume to be our weakest link, LG. Solving the problem now would inspire a lot of confidence heading into the spring, but it's nice to know there's another window coming.

Nico better improve, as well as receivers and off. Line or running backs won’t matter.

If Nico doesn't improve, CJH rumored as a QB whisperer is a fraud. Assuming that Nico plateaued as a RSF is basically assuming just that--that CJH is a fraud.

Sam Bradford
Landry Jones
Drew Locke
Dillon Gabriel
Hendon Hooker
Joe Milton (you can make a case CJH did wonders for him)

All of those guys CJH coached and developed. What a terrible overreaction to say he might be a fraud developing QBs

 

[VolInDayton]

Maybe a handful of players there that would improve our roster and that’s debatable. Most of the good players go in the first window.

I agree that's how it has historically been but with how things are evolving I bet you could see a more active spring portal

I've not said that. Nor have I said that Nico will not improve.

You're making my point.

Agree with this

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Yeah they gonna sneak his ass to the bowl game and show him the time of his life.

Don’t let him get on the plane.

So far Texas isn’t likely getting much advantage from the bowl game.

You'd think Texas was playing in the Alamo Bowl.

Oline better improve pass blocking or well you can figure that out.

I Believe that Nico became a little shell shocked when our offensive line and running backs could not protect him for more than 2 seconds. He took a beating in almost every SEC game as well as the playoff game. Any QB will have a difficult time throwing the football with the protection he did not get. It got so he had to run for his life as the season progressed.

I would not be surprised if he is in the crowd at the Tennessee/Texas men's basketball game tomorrow night on his recruiting visit to Texas.

 

[Rushin Orange Collusion]

The OL was average at best this year. You gotta upgrade. Make a one year investment and then move on to someone else. You can't play the "we need to put the money in to HS players or players that will be here multiple years" line, because as we've seen...they may not stay more than a year anyway. It is what it is. Bring in the best players that can help you win in the current season and evaluate everything year to year. It's all you can do with the way the rules are currently. There are no guarantees you're gonna keep anyone long term.

And that should include coaches as well. The former great Dodger manager, Walt Alston, always operated under a 1-year contract.

Pregnon: getting NFL grades

Starters coming back:
- Heard, one of the worst OTs according to PFF


Argument over.

So you are admitting it was arguable. That's what I thought.

id guess ole miss, only because nakos said ole miss and colorado were his leaders pre oregon/tennessee visits

Barnes will get a word with him then on Texas’ dime

Glad he got to witness a rough 24 hours for Texas while visiting
