Transfer portal discussion

Portal needs by position. Let me know what yall think. This is assuming only Calloway and Campbell portals out and Hyatt enters the draft.

QB - we good here

RB - only if he is a gamechanger (i.e. Gibbs). With 4 guys coming back plus Keith (and Seldon) coming in not sure how many big time guys take a look at us.

WR - (1) a lot of you guys changed my mind here. I thought we would take a WR but I thought we would take an outside guy. With Hyatt and Calloway gone, we definitely need another slot WR.

TE - (2) Campbell is gone and Warren is iffy at best at returning. We have Ethan Davis coming in but coming off an injury we can't expect him to contribute much next year.

OL - (1) we will definitely take a quality tackle who hopeful can lock down the RT spot. Fallback plan would be having Mincey/Crawford start at both tackle. With all the guard body linemen on the roster someone should step up and replace Carvin at LG. My guess would be Ollie Lane. We probably need to recruit a true center in the 2024 class. Cooper only has two year left.

DL - don't see us taking one unless he is a stud. Everybody back from the DL.

Edge - could see us taking a run at someone but would have to be a very good player, not just a guy. We only lose BY but will be very young next year. Personally Iike our young guys and should roll with them.

LB - (1) I think we would prefer more experience behind Mitchell and Beasley. Allow our young guys to continue to develop. One of them will have to play and rotate in though.

CB - (1) I really like our incoming cornerback class and all 3 are EEs. We probably want to take at least one CB for obvious reasons but I would also move Slaughter back to safety (and start him and Walker). I would also move Charles back to safety, think he is better there. Which would leave us with Burrell, Hadden, Rucker and Turnage returning. I would still give those 3 guys every opportunity to play next year. I'm lumping star here and we should run with T-Mac and Tank here imo. Turnage could be an option at star as well.

S - I think we would be good here. With Walker and Slaughter starting you have two guys who are more instinctive and faster at safety as well as better tacklers. Turrentine, Charles, and 3 young safeties for depth.

PK/Punter - (1) from the looks of it we don't have any trust in our kickers on the roster. I think we will be fine at punter.

So 7 transfers would be the goal.

What yall think?

Don’t be shocked if we take a 1-yr guy at QB. Not for certain, but it’s in play.

Didn't see that coming. I can understand why because of the inexperienced behind Joe but would still be shocked we take one.

Basilio is saying someone from the Big 12, but grain of salt. I’ve just heard they want someone in case Joe flames out early in the season.

Yeah and they probably already know where they’re going (I.e. Jordan Addison). Barring any off field stuff, we should definitely take a slot WR, which we need, that was 3rd in the best conference in receiving yards in his first year as a starter and has multiple years of eligibility left

you want to take a WR because he put up numbers for a bad mizzou team?

Wonder who that is??

It makes sense, just didn't think about it in that perspective. Would thought we would be content with the young guys behind Joe. Always one play away.

"Tennessee has been engaged with him for sure. He's worked every day on the practice field, but in the day and age we live in you just never know. There's always recruiting going on. I'm sure he's been indirectly hearing from people all fall long. I know Garner is having meetings with his players early this week and players are also meeting with the head coach."

For the ones we truly want to keep, I suspect there will be meetings that inspyre them to put down roots.

I think Jalon Daniels makes sense from our perspective, but that’s just a guess. Does Gabriel have eligibility left? No idea, frankly.

Also, I think they just don’t quite know what they have in the Freshmen, yet. And they’ve been getting negative recruited by coaches saying that it was the Hendon Hooker show, and we’ll collapse now that he’s gone. I think they feel like they need a sure thing if Joe doesn’t develop.

I'd be shocked if we get anybody good at all

Joe's the starter

Jackson has a year under his belt

Nico is a phenom

Maybe if Tayven leaves after the spring we can get a guy.

We have a lot of them coming in this class (2023) and next class (2024). We could but I guess would be a want. We also like Walker, Turrentine, Jourdan Thomas, Christian Harrison (and Slaughter wherever he goes).

I really hope Slaughter gets moved back to safety. His strength is going downhill and making a play IMO, not covering a receiver

The QB from Georgia Tech would be a good fit in our system. I think he would be a solid back up option. I think we roll with Milton and try to get a proven backup.
