Possibly a silent commit from one Ryan Williams?

We wish!!

But what we have learned are these are really just a heads up that somebody is thinking of going to ATM. Still, a positive sign.
Nothing looks more foolish than tradition to those who have none.

I think it's legit commits but there's nothing to tie them to it. They can't sign on the bottom line at that moment.

It's still a good sign no matter what. And if the Elko and staff want them that's a plus.

Weird take since every other time he posted this means we got a commitment

Okay with some under the radar, but not all, need to mix in some of the SEC portal players that have been at SEC level competition.

Go look at who else offered rather than listening to sip talking points.

Nope but we may have one soon.

If he's not getting players from great teams moving forward, this should tell you something. Too many unknowns tbh. This team will have to over achieve next season imo.

This was a good pickup of an experienced TE since we already lost a transfer commitment
vander54
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Not true. The guys we are getting are proven players.


We actually have one of the higher average ranking in the portal.

Alston did commit he just decommitted when we added Howell and his path to playing time became murky

With that rationale you should never get excited about a HS player.

Specifically talking portal recruitment. Examples; Oregon getting Stewart, olepiss getting many players from conference rivals, tu getting bond. But A&M getting Vanderbilt, Fresno state players is not gonna get the championship team. This what I meant by over achieving. It's a true rebuild season. Def not impossible to have a great season but I'm not expecting it.

Kind of like Washington making the championship game with the portal transfer from known power Indiana…..

Our win total set by odds makers before last season was 7.5 with the 4th most talented roster in college football. Our total record the past two seasons was 12-13. Nobody is predicting a championship team next year. Elko has to change the culture and create competition and I think they're doing that with a balance of young talent and experienced transfers. I think it's reasonable to not expect a great season but I don't agree that we're in a rebuild. Elko made an immediate impact at Duke so there's reason to be optimistic the same could happen here.

And can't discuss by name until LoI is signed if first signing. No clue if there's anything similar from portal guys.

It's not like we're bringing in scrubs. These are guys that were being offered by other big time programs.

I've been wanting to see offer lists for transfers. Do you have a link. I was told there are no official offers.

"Go look at who else offered rather than listening to sip talking points"

No just stating a fact. Is the NM tight end we just took better than Amari Niblack? I think we should offer Niblack right now and let the numbers sort out. This is purely a business now.

For instance any player or coach we bring in from Bama or Georgia knows what a winning mentality is and hopefully it spreads.

I get that. No sarcasm here. I'd just argue that a really good CB from Old Dominion is more proven than one from North Shore HS.

Big names does not mean big results. Our core is still strong

We needed depth at LB, WR, TE and we needed starting CBs and an Edge. We got what we needed.

Agreed. On defense, a returning core of Turner, Stewart, Regis, GBD, Hicks, Sylla, York, Anderson, Mathews is solid.

And Scourton, Howell, Lee, Mayes, Hill, Wright, etc. is a good collection of talent to add to that. Didn't need to remake the roster, just needed a supplement. Most of the rest of the 21 transfers in will just be depth that the team is not getting from a smaller '24 freshman class.

The '23 team, although they were 7-6. Finished #17 in the ESPN FPI+. Maybe the '24 team won't go 12-0, but this does not have to be a long rebuild.
Bogey1996

I agree, we got some studs like Nic, Lee, Howell and the La Tech Wr that I expect to be immediate impact players. The rest I'm not sure, did they hit their peak at a smaller school, are they just starting to hit a new level, I don't know. I say odds are a few of them will be rotation players. All I'm saying is why can't we also bring in a couple of Bond type players or a couple of DB's from Bama or Georgia. Hell I would take almost any LB from Georgia as they seem to have nothing but studs.

Portal should be for filling positions of need . We certainly fit that description at DB and that seems to be the big point of emphasis .

Trey Amos projected Bama starter at CB plans to enter portal. Need to snag some of these Bama guys!
