'24 Transfer Portal

[Ashevolle]

what smelling salts are they selling out there? They’re gonna go back to irrelevancy next season. Benefited from an extreme down year for the SEC

Kid is from STL. Wake me up when they get clout outside of the state.

I think someone else is getting our big NIL check today.

Now that would explain a lot. Hadn't thought along those lines. Now I'm excited about Seaton.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I honestly don't understand our portal philosophy. Especially on defense. We're just not aggressive enough in going after playmakers. Do our defensive coaches not tell CJH they'd like to target more high-profile guys?

I agree with this.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Strickland is really the only head turner. Other than the staff wanting Staes over Joly, but I’m starting to warm up to that, because I bet the staff sees a lot of Fant in Staes. The rest of the offers aren’t bad.

Exactly. Feel like they see Fant in Staes and Ethan Davis is Joly.

 

[CAVPUT]

That too...wasn't he the golden egg at TE though....?

Maybe we add the ND TE for less. Get a better blocker and with the savings, we sweeten the offer to secure Seaton?

I just wish they would load up on these secondary players available and DL. So many good DBs in the portal. But with Banks, Martinez and the super duper soft zone philosophy I’m sure things will never change. Could have prime Deion Sanders out there at corner and we would still play him 15 yards off the ball and he would completely forget to turn his head.

Forget who said it, but on the 247 pod, they said the staff prefers Staes.

Imagine
Will Lee - CB
Andrew Mukuba - Saftey
Oregon state guy - Safety
Syeed Gibbs - CB

Maybe we have secondary answers among the youth already on the roster? Same for LB?

AP on Swain hinted at that, also. Basically that Ethan Davis is Joly…so Staes fills a need. Disappointed…wanted both.

maybe so i dont know. As bad as they looked the last half of the yr in the secondary maybe they should have thrown them out there to see. Guess we'll find out.

We can't get portal guys for every position on the team. At some point we have to play the young kids on the roster. That has a lot to do with what positions we go after in the portal.

Sounds like they know how to eat in Missouri.

I liked Joly also. Was excited about him. But this is actually an encouraging sign about the coaches confidence in Davis going into next season.

I get that and agree with the mentality, but specifically at TE? We land Staes and complement him with Davis, then you have Davis AND Echols with a history of injuries backed by Okoye learning the position? Definition of THIN.

None of us know, but the staff clearly will. If we aren't pursuing a position, it tells me the staff is comfortable with what we have. Personally I prefer our roster guys to transfers all things being equal

Time will tell if this is lightning in a bottle or a new trend for Missouri football. They won't have a Cody Schrader fall in their lap every year, but I've gotta take my hat off to Dorkwitz for this year's turnaround.

 

[Sin City Vol]

Based on what? We don’t know if he is a good QB or not. They don’t have a RB, as you said, and their OLine is not very good. Don’t see them having a great offense.

That’s why I used the word “if”

So what youre saying is if Joly comes in, Davis is gone? So, Davis' potential for three years outweighs Joly's for 2?

No?

They will be ahead of Minnesota in the recruiting rankings in no time with this model!!!

Your boy AP and the continual procession of VQ dog and pony narrative. 'Better play these guys or else...'

then, 'roster management rant' using TE as a frame of reference. Gotta be careful who you bring in, dont want to upset the apple cart.
