'25 Portal Thread

Is he as fast as Peyton Lewis? I've never heard anything suggesting he was.

Straight line speed, I’m guessing no. But Morris is quicker and twitchier.

Regardless, he’s fast.

I expect Peyton Lewis to become RB1 and to have a really big year in 2025.

 

[Vols410]

The RB we were interested in (Tye Edwards) committed to WVU.


GO. GET. HUMPHREY. Quit worrying about feelings

Not feelings for me. I'd rather have Bishop + Lewis than Humphrey. When you look at the numbers I probably look crazy, but I'm not gonna bank on a guy's success in that system at the FCS level carrying over to the SEC. There are a bunch of 1k+, 6+ ypc FCS guys that never do anything anywhere else.

At this point I’m hoping one of the PSU receivers enters the portal.

Oh god no they couldn’t get open once last night

 

[GVol1966]

He sucks, and UT fans hate Bama. I’d be fine if we never took a Bama transfer

Well I guess we need to tell kitz. And Jefferson to leave.

Considering he’s only been here a short time we haven’t heard tons besides his speed is present in the little practices he has been in

My point is he is a potential playmaker with his speed and we have to play our younger guys sooner

Who is Humphrey?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I assume this “splash player” fizzled out lol?

No clue why everyone latched on to that comment.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

I’m sure PSU receivers aren’t that bad. But how are we clamoring for them after a game where they had zero receptions?

 

[Vol423]

No clue why everyone latched on to that comment.

Because many RF posters wanted to sign about 10 "splash players" through the portal even though we had no roster space to take that many players in the first place.

I think that had more to do with Allard than the receivers. He missed several open receivers for potential big plays. I even predicted he would throw a pick in their final drive and set up ND for the win.

probably because most are hoping for a game changer to come in and change the dynamic or add an instant upgrade to that position group, where we have several groups that certainly could use an upgrade... I was hoping we were going to go get (which we may still do once the playoffs are over) one experienced WR who could come in and add a spark and have that game changing speed to get separation like Hyatt did ... adding in Boo and Jefferson will certainly help our situation, but unfortunately along with MM, don't have the game experience yet...

Some of you guys seem genuinely miserable.

I wish we could've found a role for Seldon. I would've loved to see him play something like Princeton Fant's role.

He's one that I regret losing.

He's such an elite athlete. Will be shocked if he doesn't end up being good.

Seldon’s role was recovering from an injury. He was going to get a lot of snaps. .

 

[Orange_Crush]

You can put several kids off scholly via NIL, work around it--- see GA and AL doing it every year...

I'd be interested in names that they had contributing players off-scholarship. Not exactly doubting, but interested.

I hope so but his YPC was not great. Jaylen Wright and Sampson both had great YPC even before taking over.

Absolutely, but I also think he ultimately wanted to play WR and felt his path to the field there was clearer at VT. If he can stay healthy I look for him to have a chance to play on Sundays

He could always improve after a year of experience and another year in the program

 

[T2P_Priceless]

Of course but that is an assumption. Vision is the most inate ability RBs have. Bishop has it. I’ve heard it can be taught, we’ll see
