Transfer portal discussion

Brent Hubbs was on the Sports Monster in the Tri-Cities doing his weekly radio spot yesterday morning and he was stating he estimated there would be between 1250-1500 players enter the Transfer Portal. If that is the case, I can't imagine how many pages this thread will be.

A lot of these guys move down in competition as well. A great amount of portal guys are there because of lack of playing time. It doesn’t mean there aren’t some very good players in it, it just means a large percentage of these guys will never get a serious look at top schools. Not all but a good chunk of the total. The portal does not open till the 5th of December through January 19th to the best of my knowledge. The other period is May 1st-15th. GBO

That's probably what Saban does with the fired coaches who become "analysts" for him. When they're not getting his coffee, they're sorting through the transfer portal for him. :D

Well, we are up to 5 offensive players entering (WR-2, RB-2 and TE-1) so far. You had to figure it would be this way.

It’s a good thing. These are all players that competed but couldn’t cut into the rotation. Time to bring in new and hopefully better competition.

It’s a numbers things…the more you bring in the better chance of hitting. Much better than having guys rot on the bench

The one that hurts is JWT. I think it actually was a detriment to him having all the fan fare in the spring from a perception standpoint. It's hard for a lot of guys to go from being THE guy in high school, to being at the bottom of the depth chart in college. I'm sure coming out of Spring practice, he thought he'd definitely be in the rotation. Sampson came in and immediately surpassed him in the fall. Some guys thrive on adversity and competition, others wither in self pity. The kid has the physical talent. I hope he matures mentally and has a great career somewhere.

I hope he does too but the odds are lower that he suddenly shoots up the depth chart than the odds of bringing in proven talent from the portal

Well he was terrible this year the two games I watched. Could be a combo of bad play calls and bad scheme. Small sample size but I wasn't impressed at all.

I doubt we shop for a QB until AFTER spring ball. I would assume we would like to evaluate our QB room first and wait and see if Tayven leaves.

No way you wait that long. A transfer will need as many reps in this system and with the WRs as he can get if he wants success next year. Top shelf guys will be off the boards by then. You identify the guy you want and have him for the spring. Everyone competes and the room works itself out. No way heupel stands pat and goes into next season with Milton, TJ and Nico. No way.

I guess we shall see. Would be telling how the staff feels about Joe if we bring in someone this year. With so many other needs for this roster, I don't think QB is an immediate need and we have limited space. This staff picked Joe to start last year without a spring so one can assume the staff may feel comfortable with him going into his 3rd year in the system. If Joe plays like crap in the bowl game then that's a different conversation.
