Wow

Can players enter portal for a coordinator leaving, or is portal still closed to them now?

I think today is the last day to enter.

Portal only extends for HC leaving

I thought it was last night for them? Hope it’s today. Maybe we can entice one of their DBs to leave.

You’re right, my bad. Thought it was Saturday today lol

OSU got any of dem safeties? If so, come on down.

Not just any, we have a OSU safety currently starting and he’s not that impressive.

Lost almost all defensive starters. Good move by Knowles imo.

I heard last night was the deadline which is why this comes out today.

Everyone talks about the players loyalty but the coaches started this lack of loyalty and their timing always screws the players….

Historic College Football Program Reportedly 'Tampering' With Ohio State Star WR Carnell Tate - Athlon Sports https://search.app/j95dnS9kGUB1LDkQ7

It's UT jr

I'm glad we didn't get Carnell Tate and that Squirrel left for FSU. I'm wanting to see the younger WRs we've got on the roster. I think we've got some real talent and we'll be better at the reciever position this season, barring injuries. Tate would have been nice, but he wasn't necessary.

*I also think our offensive line / QB will look better too. I'm expecting our offense to be more like the 2022 offense this season.

If Pope can do his job of coaching them up, our WRs should be fine.

OL will miss Cooper. Not ready to say they'll look better. Center can make or break the line. No one is stepping in to play at the level Cooper was playing at IMO. Hopefully we see better guard and tackle play to balance out the inexperience at center.

Lat night was portal deadline, but we could still see some late entries as OSU and ND have like two business days to enter the names of anyone who requested to enter the portal through last night. The lessons MM has taught us.

And regardless of what we thought about him while he was here the staff should ABSOLUTELY be crowing about him on the recruiting trail.

Absolutely! Any NFL success should definitely be used as a recruiting tool. While I agree he underperformed here, he's showing out in the NFL.

 

[volKano]

Wow

I guess he went for the money because he went from one coach with a slappable face to another one.

but it all fun and games unless they come after Banks.

No amount of money would convince me to sell my soul to the pedophiles of State Penn.

Here’s the kind of information you don’t want to hear: Three weeks ago, we felt like we had a very good shot at Xavier Watts and Tate. Both have serious agents. Each approached us. We met initial offer ranges. Watts was a big number, and we said yes. Tate was 200 over our best receiver. Three weeks later, we have neither. There are times when we meet everything they ask for and it isn’t enough. Watts is a game changer. They offered him game changer money. His draft assessment is too good to pass on. Tate found out he can make the most money by sitting still. It is what it is.

Thank you for this
All the people on here complaining about ”Tate was never coming here, we were played” well so was Texas, Oregon and every other school he was supposedly going to. It happens.

I believe it's the head coach only

@dascoop what's the scoop?

Well at least we know that our coaches are trying. And like you said, sometimes no matter how good you are or how much $ you have, it doesn't work out. Think we are gonna be just fine. Thanks for the inside info.

And I guarantee Keys is worth it

Exactly what I was thinking before I read this.

Yeah but depending on when they requested their paperwork, we could hear about players entering into early next week, similar to MM.
