Who Do We Go After from the portal?

[dduncan4163]

The way things stand now it looks like Nico is gone. I'm optimistic about Merk but it's obvious we will go after someone in the portal next week.

Any guesses on who?

And who is in the portal you would go after?

Nobody. We have guys in house to develop.

Hope the 5th year gets passed and offer double what the 1st overall pick is worth to bring in Cam Ward. The SEC is the only conference he hasn’t played in.














Obviously I'm kidding, I'm a Titans fan and can't wait to see him under center next year. No good options available at the moment. Ride with what ya got.

Hopefully some wide receivers see we have a bunch of cash open up and we get a stud.

We don't need nor should we go after a QB.

Someone mentioned that Gaston Moore is in the portal without a landing spot. While I don't think he's a replacement or starter, he might be a calming influence in the locker room if he wants to come back.

I'm not at all suggesting he's a potential threat to Merk or G-Mac but more of, well honestly, a set of eyes and ears for Heupel this year until things settle a bit.

Go after a couple of defensive backs and a wide receiver and some other support pieces for the young quarterbacks

 

[Derek Reese's jumpshot]

Picking someone off the scrap heap to try and learn our offense in 3 months will be a waste of money. If anything, maybe a cheap guy who's fine being a back up if any of those exist.

Why would our back-ups stay?

 

[Doberman]

Use the savings at other positions.

You tamper and get someone in the portal if you think Merklinger isn’t ready.

Aaron Rodgers

And if he gets hurt.

From the recruiting thread. The suspense is going to drive me nuts....

 

[Volsloco]

Just pay Nico; everyone else is doing the same thing. If he wants more money, so be it—everyone is asking for it. Nico is much better than he gets credit for; it was mostly the wide receivers and offensive line that contributed to the issues. The results from the other QB’s on the roster is a guarantee will not be anywhere near as good. I mean if I could get 4 million instead of 2 I would do the same thing.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Just a thought exercise and not a suggestion.

Since Carson Beck transferred to Miami, could UT recruit him because he's not coming from an SEC school technically.

Discuss.

Yes. But couldn’t think of a more unlikable guy to target.

 

[Walkman]

I got a feeling there will be options when Wednesday comes. I also believe we will be better off. GBO!

I sure hope we can’t.

Don’t pay him then see if you like the results .

 

[Lifeofvols8811]

Daddy Nico?

Didn’t Gibson, Matthews and McCoy do the same thing for more money? I guess let them walk too

Can’t go into a season with 2 scholarship quarterbacks
