Recruiting will pick up. The coaches wouldn't be holding off on taking the commitments of players ready to transfer in if they didn't think they could land guys who better fit team needs. And some of the better portalers are opportunists with an inflated view of their value. Apparently, the coaches don't think a lot of them are worth the ask. Other programs might. Different strategies.

South Carolina fans are taking the news well:

Lost their two best offensive play makers to the portal and then hire in a guy that has been a bad OC everywhere he’s been… I like it. Nice work, Beamer.

God I know I'm immature because that made me laugh way too hard.

Would love to see what Marshawn Lloyd could look like in this offense.

Kelly was a 3-Star recruit for the Bulldogs in the 2019 class out of local Fresno (Calif.) San Joaquin Memorial. He was recruited late by Fresno State as a flip from his previous commitment to San Jose State.

Kelly redshirted in 2019, then immediately saw four starts in six games for the Bulldogs as a redshirt freshman in 2020. He broke out in his sophomore season in 2021 with nine starts, catching 52 passes for 778 yards and 3 touchdowns. Kelly entered the 2022 season as a starter, but suffered an injury in the Bulldogs’ third game of the season.

In all, Kelly had 17 starts with 87 catches for 1,305 yards and 4 touchdowns. He played in 26 games over four years.

With 2019 counting as a redshirt season and the 2020 COVID-19 eligibility waiver, Kelly still has two more seasons of eligibility to use.

When Coach Leach was at Texas Tech several years ago I so admired and loved to watch that offense. It was so exciting and in my heart wished we could have had that can of offense here. When rumors begin to fly that we were looking at him to hire I was hoping with everything in me that it would come true. As we know it didn't and we still got a coach whose offense is so exciting and I believe some of that came from Coach Leach's offense. As its been said already, Coach Leach was a man before his time. What a mind he had. Praying for his family and praying for Miss State family.

How come you didn't add that him surviving another full year was about 50/50?

Many of these portal players are running from something. Once in the portal, coaches call their former coaches. They find out why the player transferred. Some transfers are culture killers. We have built a great culture and I am sure our staff is trying to recruit to the culture.

Some talented portal players have a track record of immaturity and laziness. I am sure our staff is doing their best to weed out the prospects.

I find it interesting that they call the former coaches. I mean, they might get a straight answer and they might not. Not sure that Saban would tell Heup, "yeah, that dude could help you."
