We are already behind in the portal-

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Did you watch OSU? That’s their whole team. Cherry pick anyone they want and pay 22 mil for this year’s roster alone. I’m not sure outside of a few players that all of their starters weren’t transfers.

they didn't get David Sanders

 

[Carl Pickens]

The lineup of OSU. It’s practically all home grown players

The receivers, DBs and Dline were impressive …..rbs too

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Yep. And Lagway will probably be the best QB in the SEC. Our days of beating UF are probably over.

Yea, we'll never beat Florida again

 

[Cartervol]

Why do we suppose we let so many receivers walk? They had to know their time was coming, and then we seemingly have no plan to replace them.

Maybe we're buying some 5 stars after the bowl games. Spring maybe. Who knows.

Idk if it’s you or the Ohio fan who was posting earlier but one of you is right and the other is very wrong. He posted a screenshot of their roster and said almost all were “home grown”

I don’t know where any of them came from other than Jeremiah Smith and they recruited him out of HS

Judkins and Downs they added from the portal. Also got their center I think from Bama. Most of the rest were recruited there out of high school.

 

[IUGradVol]

Ask Florida State what being ahead in the portal gets you.

 

[iuvol]

All of the players who will go to the portal are not yet in the portal.

8th

UFail leaped us with Dallas Wilson flipping to the lizards

Embarrassing is all you can say..with the facilities and program you can’t do any better. Says all you need to know.

 

[BleedOrange81]

We haven’t hit a home run in the portal to my knowledge…came close on a couple but no one that you just sit back and say wow we are lucky to get him.

I would say Jermod McCoy is a home run. Didn’t have the greatest game against Ohio St. but has been a big time playmaker and a game changer at least in 3 games.

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Pretty bold stance for a Coach who hasn’t won in the SEC.

He has been to a SEC Championship game, which we haven’t done in 17 years

Hooker was a portal guy

 

[Volfan1000]

The portal isn’t the most important part of building a team

Barnes and Vitello cherry pick from the portal and make sure that the players play at an elite level and fit their team cultures.

Heupel goes for need as evidenced by Moy and Brazzell.

 

[Volfan1000]

Hooker was a portal guy

Pruitt signed Hooker.

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Pruitt signed Hooker.

Yes he did. Crazy how that worked out

McCoy likely will be when all is said and done. He’s going to be a good CB. Kitselman was a really good addition as well.

 

[JustFunnN'Orange]

Possibility we might get Bru for another year:

NCAA Could Give Bru McCoy Another Season of Eligibility

Tennessee Volunteers wide receiver Bru McCoy could be granted an additional season of elibility by the NCAA. Major news broke last week when the US Department o

That would make me "jump with joy" if Bru came back!!

 

[Majors]

He has been to a SEC Championship game, which we haven’t done in 17 years

So again, first loser. Todays game you don’t even need a SECG to win a title. So advantage Heupel for making the playoff this year.
