'25 Portal Thread

[Vol423]

Nebraska

Yeah. I made my prediction before reading the rest of the thread.

 

[LouderVol]

I'm not sure why that isn't already the case. Do these schools and collectives not have attorneys?

NIL will settle down. But right now, it's the wild west. At some point, market forces and level-headed contract drafting will prevail. The question is, how long will that take?

danger of being passed. the first school to buck the trend is going to be DOA in recruiting until the NCAA figures out something the courts won't shut down.

There is a reason Clemson is 27th on 247 ranking for the '25 class. being the one different school turns you into a pariah.

Unfortunately i just dont think he can play

 

[rockytop25]

I would imagine it's a guarantee we go get someone now

 

[TrippieRedd]

Enjoy Belichick

So you automatically jump to the conclusion Leacock will end up at North Carolina?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

We are very thin at WR now

 

[TrippieRedd]

That “new coach excitement”


Belichick also needs to take whoever he can get right now. Kids from NC, take the home state kid.

Haven’t you heard? Belicheck is gonna take the CF world by storm because of his name. He has Super Bowl rings. So somehow that means he is a good college head coach.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

We landed our first portal commit Dec 15 last year and half of our portal guys Jan 9 or later

Maybe true but that doesn’t mean I can’t be impatient

 

[Weezer]

Damn. Does this mean we fire Kelsey Pope?

 

[NighthawkVol]

Obviously.

Well I have family that live in High Point and they graduated from UNC. I talked to them last night and they are excited but not delusional. They just would like a competitive team and maybe stumble into a ACC Championship eventually..

 

[TrippieRedd]

Wouldn’t mind taking Jalil Farooq as a 4th option guy.

Just have that feeling, he’s the WR we look at, but he might also want to be option 1.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

So, we lose Nimrod, Webb, Leacock, Bru, and Thornton from the WR room. That’s a lot of bodies.

I would hope we get a portal WR now.

Belicheck isn’t the answer. NFL and college are nowhere near the same. He isn’t good at talent evaluation and I doubt his coaching style translates.

Probably gonna have to get more than one imo. Still baffles me given Squirrels injury history that the staff isn’t going after Conception.

Either they don’t think he’s as good as you do or they don’t think he’s as good as his price tag

If he is playing at the level he was in 2023, he’s a legit threat to be the number 1 option. That a big if though.

None of the guys we’re returning have past production anywhere close to his.

 

[Weezer]

Matthews has shown he can throw a block, so maybe he takes over Bru's spot? Brazzell on the other side and Squirrel in the slot. Then Staley. But unless we plan on playing true freshmen, definitely could see us taking a couple of WRs. Or, I wonder if we would consider making Seldon a WR?

 

[NighthawkVol]

After our 3 starters next year (Matthews, White, Brazzell), our depth is 3 true freshmen and a redshirt freshman. Oh, and Nate Spillman, who might as well be a walk-on.

Yeah, I'd say we need to find a WR or two in the portal.

And that’s kinda why I go back and fourth with him. I don’t us contacting him and being like “you’re the guy”

Who knows.

Squirrel does. So does Brazzell, albeit at Tulane

Agreed. We have been banged up at WR all year. Hard to believe we’ll go an entire season without any injury issues. Considering Heupel didn’t want to play Matthews much this year because of his inexperience, I can’t imagine he wants to have 3 true freshmen backups.

We need some bodies. I hope we pursue someone.
