And the secondary improved greatly this year despite that. I think LBers are fine, particularly since Carter and Telander (and hopefully Spillman) will continue to get better. I do think O-Line could use some new faces.

I have heard Carter almost entered the portal, that he wants to play offense. Maybe that's why Squirrel hit the portal?

It’s weird how some trolled OSU until they beat us down. Then all of a sudden we don’t have talent, need to hit the portal, yet we have portal players all over the field namely at receiver. Our defensive backfield wasn’t exactly top tier when they faced a semblance of competition themselves. Who knows why all these guys are leaving but usually when the ship is sinking the rats jump ship.

For whatever reason we just are not a good road team. We lost 3 games this year and all on the road.

Well, we will have Matthews a 5 star that looked good with what little playing time he had. I think Boo is going to be wr next year, Is Thornton coming back? I don't know about the rest.

Down to Brazzell, Matthews and Staley. Got Travis Smith and Radarius Jackson (both 4*) coming in, but don’t know if they will even contribute in year one. Maybe Heupel is trophy hunting in the portal between now and spring? But if not, then you’re going to have to play the true freshmen.

I think Staley is in the portal? Not sure

This version of NIL and xfer portal feels like someone lit the biggest wildfire that burned everything within a million square miles to the ground in 24 hours.

You can preach 'addition by subtraction' all day long. But-------I see no sense of urgency on the part of this staff. Heupel acts like he has 5 stars stacked at every position. We don't. We need a staff of fire breathers that eat, drink, and poop recruiting and the portal.

Instead we have calm, serene, and low key. Chill. Polite. Collected.

Heupel has made nearly $50 Million since he got here. I always wonder what that does to a guy. For some, it just fires them up. Saban. There isn't enough cash out there for him to relax.

Heupel? I don't know. Maybe the guy looks at his balance sheet, knows he is set for life, and figures 'f--- it, I'm just riding this out and not stressing'

Time will tell.

In the words of marvelous Marvin Hagler after a loss “ it’s hard to get up and run at 5 in the morning, when you’re sleeping on satin sheets”

Staley is not in the portal. We have 3 kids on roster and Carter if he goes to WR. Add the 2 freshmen. We need at minimum 4 transfers before next year to offset for injuries.

After what OSU and Ga have done to us , nothing they do can be worse than continually being just dominated by teams with better talent . Ryan Day and Kirby Smart are nothing but position coaches at the next level.
