Buzz words to appease the masses. Most of which are stupid. You’ll never hear it in an actual conversation. But if you need to feel like you’re part of the conversation and can’t discuss it intelligently then have at it.

Whatever. If you don’t think banks got outcoached at UGA and Ohio st you’re ignorant.
If you dont think Arkansas and Ohio st coaches and players saying they new what our offense was going to run by how we lined up is being out coached.ignorant.
When the talent level is 10 miles apart , but looks like it’s 1000 miles apart in the game, you got outcoached.
If you can’t see it, I wouldn’t be calling anyone stupid!

We are way below 83 players. Can’t keep losing more than adding. Our WR room and OL room is embarrassing. Our OL development is poor with bad coaching. But our coach seems to think Elarbee is good. This roster is slowly getting worse. No imagination on offense and Heupel is one calling plays.

Way below 83? 😂

When Gaston hit the portal it put us at 83.

I’m behind but just throwing this out there. Grown men in the NFL,MLB and NBA get their feeling, pride or ego hurt when they hear so and so is making more money than them. Now imagine being 18-20 and hearing the same. This was always going to happen and these “agents“ leaking BS numbers to the media isn’t helping. Long term this is not going to work, coaches are being put behind the 8 ball every year with 20-30% roster turnover. Players are being lured into the portal with the “promise” of a big bag.
The last numbers I saw was just over 6,000 names in the portal IF this number is accurate there isn’t that many spots open, so then it becomes a game of musical chairs.
Someone smarter than me needs to figure this out and fast. All gold rushes were Boom or Bust. First the boom, everyone is making money then the gold runs out, and then no one is making money BUST.

I'd like to know what the coaches are thinking right now with so many players hitting the portal. We still have plenty of time to add bodies, if we can find guys we actually want, so I know they're not panicking or anything, but I do wonder how surprised they are by the exodus. Especially someone like Squirrel, who they've given every opportunity to. I just don't see the young man being as big a factor in another program. I could be wrong. We'll see. I just don't see him as a game breaker.

Do we know for sure the coaches are not panicking? And even if they were, would they show it publicly?

Harris seems like a fast kid as well.

Hell, Pena wouldn't be my first choice, but he produces and that includes tonight. 5 catches for 70 yards and 2 TDs, plus 2 carries for 32 yards.

So Kalib Perry is 82?

Actually after looking at it again, I think that’s right. We’ll probably have to get Bishop on scholarship imo though as well. Here is Larry’s thread in case I made a mistake or something changes. Karic and Kitselman should be back imo. I don’t think anyone we’ve lost really hurts us badly. Kitselman being back is huge.

2025 Projected Roster

Very fluid and dynamic..... :)

I think Jake is gonna keep Gmac off the field and then Brandon is gonna take over. Gmac is gonna have to beat out a bigger, stronger, older QB with a full year more experience in the system...and like Gmac, Jake is a pretty dang good athlete scrambling/running as well. Has a strong arm too. Surprised Gmac came here honestly. Regardless, if they both hang around for 2 more years then the QB1 competition for 2027 is gonna be crazy. Jake with 3 years practice, Gmac with 2, and Faizon with a full year under his belt. Our QB room is gonna be as good as any in the country for the next 3 or 4 years regardless. Even if 1 of those guys decides to leave, we are set at QB through at least 2028. Love it.

Faizon will be the one who hoists the Natty in Knoxville
