Numbers.I think there is a very strong chance they don't have a coherent plan regarding the portal. Just because people are "in charge" doesn't mean they have master schemes and plans for everything. Coaches have deficiencies. They just hired the UNC guy because they very likely need help with the portal and want to improve upon that.
I may not know their inner details but we have 1 transfer while the rest of our opponents are filling important gaps with productive players. Our defense is bad. It's very bad. We need secondary and LB help in the worst ways
So let’s just make assumptions, considering no one has a clue about how many we can actually take.
My frustration is with posts on here with people forming opinions with very little information.
This. The NCAA will not exist in five years. At least when it comes to football.
Texas a 2 studs about to take over. Quinn is sick just unproven… now Murphy is the next Vince young.. just raw
Being smart with offensive scheming has nothing to do with program management, roster construction, or navigating an entirely brand new process which the portal has become.One of the best offensive minds in the country can't wrap his head around free agency? Id say thats pretty far-fetched. I seem to remember last year almost all our impact transfers came closer to spring camp. There are 1000s of players in the portal right now and Billy High is definitely here to help comb through it but Heupel is dealing with self imposed sh!t. To say he doesn't know whats going on though is ridiculous.

Yep. All of the Heupel talk came all at once. They narrowed it to one person. We’ve hired the dunce. Unbelievable

Everyone has coalesced around Heupel. AP/Hubbs/Hank/BobVols. It’s over. UT with the classic dumb ****ing move. We have the lousiest administration I’ve ever seen. Botched this in the worst way possible.

He literally took over the program that Frost built and and is devolving right in front of him. You think anyone at UCF is upset by this? Lousy ****ing start to DWs tenure here. Can’t believe we spent 2 million on an AD to hire Josh ****ing Heupel

Embarrassing look for Heupel here. Team is undisciplined as hell. Defense getting ****ing shredded and his vaunted offense can’t work because his starting QB blows

Their D is good and the big question mark on Heupel's offense is how it falls apart against good defenses. Also game 2 so probably a few kinks to work out- Vols2DaWall

Agree with this a lot. We can't aim for 90 plays per game. I think Heupel will fail here if he doesn't adjust- Vols2DaWall

He seems to be a good player but not a big loss based on the position he plays…. It doesn’t sound like we have very many spots we can fill….. we missed on two guys that we know they pursued…. Verse and Neyor…. I will wait to see who we end up with before deciding if they were successful or not.#GodsplanHe's a good player. It's a big loss. No excuses, our coaching staff has to be better. We have now one portal player taken and have plenty of holes to fill. They are flubbing the portal big time and really seems like they have no plan
As of now, it must be at least 3, right? We’ve been told we had a spot for Verse and a spot for Neyor, and the tackle from Florida makes 3.
No idea. Even though our offer to Neyor went out before Verse decided, he committed after Verse had decided.

I like Heupel. He's obviously very gifted when it comes to offensive football. He turned our sputtering offense into a high-powered machine with minimal roster change. He's embraced UT and our traditions. It's not sacrilegious to give feedback/question decisions on a message board. All coaches have pros and cons.
I'm thrilled with the hire of High. To me, that's Heupel hiring in an area where he probably needs more guidance and assistance.

Well, I’m going off what AP has said. He might be wrong, but I wouldn’t say I’m just guessing.
yet, UT wants to take a scholarship reduction and bow down to the NCAA
Jmo but I would rather do a bowl ban than lose scholarshipsScholarship reduction doesn’t have anything to do with bowing to ncaa. We had to do something heck we handed them a laundry list of major violations. Bowl ban would have been bowing to them. We were going to have low scholarship numbers anyway. The biggest issue is managing rosters with super seniors that now count when they didn’t last year. We have 13 early enrollees which is very rare to have more than half your class enroll early. It’s the risk you take but it’s a good one as you take the early enrollees HS kid all day as priority for your future. There will be more players available this spring when we have more attrition. Most of our kids last year were after spring transfers. We may be happy we have spots later on when Harbaugh gets snatched up and a dominoe effect of more coaching changes happens again.
What I am more concerned about is the feeling that we are handcuffing ourselves on purpose in NIL with our boosters and admin worried to cross certain lines until the binoculars are off the program
Yes I am so attention starved that I am posting on message boards to seek and crave attention.You like Heupel? The fact that statement contradicts everything you've said since he was hired says otherwise.
You're just here for the attention.
