'25 Portal Thread

[csprig9]

Thought he said Perry and boo also lol

Grant and Reddick were both Class of '22. I'm not sure either has ever played. They don't appear to be in line to play.

Trevor Duncan and Jeremias Heard both came in as DL but were moved to OL. Duncan has been here two years, this was Heard's first year. Will they ever contribute at OL?

We need more scholarship space to make room for some portal help, supposedly. These 4 guys just seem to be the most obvious expendable pieces.

I will say Jeremias Heard is a large human. If he can make the switch to OT at his size, he could be a force.

Maybe they are leaving because Pope is leaving? I mean, maybe?

Who is going to hire Pope?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Damn I really wouldn’t be surprised to see Nico follow suit tbh


So depressing

 

[Ace]

Maybe Heupel is taking VN’s advice and firing Pope, so all the receivers are hitting the portal

 

[marcusluvsvols]

What a great bargaining tool, wait till the last minute after all the other receivers leave and THEN go back to the negotiating table. Smart agent there, brave new world of college sports.

IF Matthews does this...even a serious attempt...**** MIKE MATTHEWS.

Trying to hold UT hostage at THE last hour of the portal when they have already met with him and his people...bet the farm on the 5 young WRs and getting them massive playing time to set them AND the team up for 2026 and 2027...

IF he does this then feck him. He aint like Nico...didnt sign a contract 3 years ago and the market has changed. He signed his deal LAST YEAR when we paid big $$$ to get him to come here instead of our rivals.

Hear me out...Wing T

Hopefully one of our rivals lol

 

[Weezer]

Hate to bring bad news…
Mike is most likely gone.
We will see if there’s any last efforts.

That would easily be the most painful loss.

Any idea why all the WRs are bailing?

Also, it might just be time to pay the man.

And replace Pope.

 

[MarcoVol]

Thought he said Perry and boo also lol

He did say Boo was meeting with staff to try and work something out

 

[Orangeburst]

No longer WRU

What about Nico?

 

[landscapingvol]

Maybe Heupel is taking VN’s advice and firing Pope, so all the receivers are hitting the portal

This would be great news we never give the wrong advice

 

[Pawleysvol]

No longer WRU

It’s hasn’t been in 2.5 decades

Trust me brother, things are getting real crazy right now.

 

[Weezer]

Time to fire Pope. Imo

Pope and Elarbee.

 

[C-town Vol]

Portal help, positional upgrades, and scheme concerns? You mean Nico has the same questions as most of the people here who aren't just blindly believing everything will work itself out???

I guess his concerns suggest he just wants to burn the program to the ground and hates the staff, too.

I’m just glad to learn Nico reads VN and thinks our takes are legit.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Trust me brother, things are getting real crazy right now.

At this point, just keep Nico.

Lord

 

[landscapingvol]

At this point, just keep Nico.

Lord

What if the issue is Nico? I’m not saying it is but it is a possibility

 

[SPEDVoL14]

Then pay him. You have no WR room at all.

 

[Volbrando]

At this point, just keep Nico.

Lord

At this point. Whatever. Just build a team

 

[csprig9]

Trust me brother, things are getting real crazy right now.

We’ll see ya
That’s not a guy I care to see play
Money Hungry prick who has accomplished nothing so far
Hit the road bitch

 

[Jackcrevol]

Makes you wonder if there is something going on with staff.

Regression since 2022, missed on recruiting trail, unable to develop, unable to keep
the big time players they do land AFTER making the playoffs.

It doesnt add up.

Money cures a lot of problems regardless of chemistry

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Wouldn’t blame Mathew’s, he should’ve played more our starting receivers were terrible
