Pritchett from Bama is horrible, gave up 31 pressures this year. I would rather start Dayne Davis for the season than him

Maybe he’d make for a good guard.

I don't get all the need for needing OL from the transfer portal. Eventually we need to start playing our own highly regarded lineman we signed out of high school and develop them otherwise, Elarbee needs to be gone if he can't develop at all when they are 2-3 years in the program and still not playing.

We were all told how good Shav, Anderson, Warren, Ginther, Satterwhite, etc. was going to be but when will they ever play at this rate? Our LT and RT and LG were all transfers so we either have a recruiting problem or development problem on OL.

Look at Ohio State OL. All freshmen or soph's and 2nd string too and all signed out of high school. NO transfers

OSU starts RS Senior, RS Junior, 2 RS Sophomores and RS Freshman. So they have a lots of experience. Who cares if transfers or not.

Id rather push for the usc guy

Let’s hope so!

We know a couple of the targets on this list

From here, I’d expect us to go after:
1. Starter quality WR
2. Starter quality G
3. Wash St DT
4. SD St RB
5. Jefferson

Top 2 are the big questions

3 & 4 are now off the board to other schools. Are we sure 5 is in the boat?

Need some new names to target. Hope we're tampering hard with the final four in the CFP.

Now he’s a depth player I’d want to have.

Not allowed, we already have a #17

#17.5

I actually don’t care who it is.

Was just asking a question, that’s all. Per usual, the defenders (not you) , for no reason had to play superhero.

It’s not that deep.

AD keeps this stuff quiet. Just like MM. it’s just for the best for the school.

Serious question everyone, with 'patience' as a subject this morning:

When we fired the Pruit Gang, under investigation for paying players, with the mass exodus of players, leaving almost no talent...

If someone had told you we'd get three 10 win seasons in the next four years, barely missing the playoffs in one of those years and making the playoffs in another...

Would you have:

(1) Run the messenger out of the forum as a crazy person?
(2) Taken it with overflowing gratitude?
(3) Blamed the incoming staff for not giving us more?

On VN, I am assuming right answer is 1&3!!

I like this kid as the type we’d be interested in.

R-SR enrolled at Wyoming in 2020 so I assume he got his redshirt and now gets a Covid year?…

Seems like we would be less interested in 1 and dones…

Boo played at 3 HS too.

Different situations

And also went to court for knowingly spreading VD…

 

[TrippieRedd]

It’s not, but it’d be wild if the “splash” player was Wingo lol

Bond is gone, but they have two guys that will return and another in the 2 deep that’s projected 5-6 round that could also come back.

 

[Vol423]

Maybe he’d make for a good guard.

...or maybe his QB holding the ball in the pocket for about 25 seconds every time he dropped back for a pass was a contributing factor.

The large majority of those will be players that realize they likely aren’t getting the playing time they want.

You want your players now so they can participate in Spring practice.

And as noted, the picking in the Spring portal will be less.

Fingers crossed we have targets identified on the remaining playoff teams.

Im sure this staff will still be “evaluating” then as well
