'25 Portal Thread

[CNeagleVolFan]

I swear we are the most bipolar fanbase yall realize our receivers SUCKED this year right? It ain’t gonna be hard to replace our production from this year. We got the talent even though it’s young. We will be FINE… BREATHE

 

[Mullins2010]

Feel like that was contingent on adding difference makers in the portal, which didn’t happen.

Lol doubtful

 

[Pawleysvol]

I’m disappointed and hope all know that our strategy was only to get someone who could truly be a huge impact.

We went so large on the offer I got too optimistic but OSU obviously had no issues approaching it.

We will keep working to find someone in the spring to help us in 2025 win big!

I get what you are saying but they can’t go into next season with only 7 receivers. A couple of injuries from having no depth.

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

Definitely how Vegas operates

It’s all projection based which is subject to change by the minute

Yes. Vegas casinos set over/unders based on fictional rosters. That’s how they pay for all those multi-billion dollar casinos. Do you even think about this stupid **** before you post it?

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

I’d love to get Jaden Greathouse from ND. We should tamper for him lol

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

There are 3-4 obvious candidates to get pushed into the Spring portal.

MORE THAN THAT! But I don’t know how to get them in the POSTER PORTAL! Addition by subtraction could reach a whole other level.

 

[Volbucky]

8-4, sorry that’s what this team looks like

No need to apologize. Doubt anyone paid much attention anyway

Yeah they totally don’t consider potential portal additions….

Certainly always subject to change based off actual changes that happen, not hypothetical changes that might happen

WR depth and experience is lacking to put it mildly. I wouldn't count on the freshman contributing since we don't play them at the position, and I'm including Jefferson in that group. And Boo will be too critical to the defense to have a huge role on offense imo. Really would've been nice to get a top tier guy, but maybe one will be available in the spring.

I was naive in thinking we would recruit and portal at the highest level once we paid Nico and brought him in the fold. I know we tried for Tate and were willing to pay, it just seems like we're still operating at the tier below the top and not willing to go all in (in totality, not referencing Tate). I would hate to waste Nico's career, and I'm assuming he takes a big jump next year.

I'm a nega and freely admit it. It's just the way I see it.

 

[thunder5]

We are absolutely cooked. No experience at WR. No true WR1. And we don’t have Dylan Sampson to carry the offense. I’m sorry but there is just no excitement or hope that we can have another great season

 

[Vol423]

Yeah they totally don’t consider potential portal additions….

Yes. After they’re announced.

 

[HawkVol2213]

Let’s put all our eggs into one basket for a guy who grew up an Ohio State fan and was never leaving. Seems pretty smart. Now we are sitting at 7 scholarship receivers and 3 are true freshman. Awesome man!

This…. He was never leaving Ohio State. The fact our staff thought they had a chance is laughable.

If you want to troll, then you should at least make an attempt to be decent at it.

? No one is trolling you clown

If it’s true that OSU gave him 2 mil, you have to ask yourself if it was worth paying Tate more than Nico.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Horrible management of the WR position in the portal cycle. Not doing enough to maximize Nico’s last year

Paid him 8M and gave him very little to throw to and a route tree with ab 3 routes. Amazing stuff.

 

[dmwvol12]

We should’ve went 2.5

Write the check big boy!

 

[VolFreakJosh]

True, already enough dumbass people on this sphere.

Speak for yourself

 

[volinexile17]

True, already enough dumbass people on this sphere.

Not exactly what I intended, though I can see why you would take it that way.

Yup, thats all I was saying. People think i’m just trying to be negative…like nah not at all, this has always been common sense

 

[NoogaVol96]

Has anyone notified @TrippieRedd?

 

[deatojl]

Yeah they totally don’t consider potential portal additions….

Yeah, they definitely hinged their over/under projection on us signing Carnell Tate.
