The link on the first post of the thread is updated regularly. They have quite a few new faces coming in. Lot of small schools though which isn’t a great sign.TruBluMaroon wrote: Tue Jan 16, 2024 7:53 amkdogg8173 wrote: Tue Jan 16, 2024 7:46 am Saw they picked up a QB from Akron, Jankwoski.

They are primarily taking guys from what seems like winning programs too. Not just disgruntled types.kdogg8173 wrote: Tue Jan 16, 2024 8:50 amThe link on the first post of the thread is updated regularly. They have quite a few new faces coming in.

Re: transfer portal 2024
Looks like more than a few TEs coming in, and a few 3 star and 1 4 star I thought I saw. Plus the receiver from Miami had a high rating as well. With Puma back, KLA returning, Simpson and a few new WRs, and some depth at TE, the skill positions look pretty good. The OLine is going to be the spot we need to improve and hopefully the new guys can push the returning guys and get a cohesive group. Looks pretty balanced on paper

Minutefan, any returnees from the starting line last season? Everyone is gone, no?

Re: transfer portal 2024
The entire two deep for the line is gone except maybe two? All juniors and seniors (many super seniors due to Covid) either graduated, transferred.Floyd wrote: Tue Jan 16, 2024 8:37 pm Minutefan, any returnees from the starting line last season? Everyone is gone, no?

Re: transfer portal 2024
Not sure where else this should go... just got a notification from ESPN that a TE from Miami was given a NINTH year of eligibility by the NCAA.
