2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

[Jackcrevol]

Earnest Thomas. DB analysts and basically the corners coach last 2 years

Who coached safeties, so I can fahr them again?

Now Bennett Warren to the portal? WTH?

If Sanders and Heard are coming back he’s not playing

 

[orangejuice]

As much as it sucks, it’s kind of expected. I’m guessing he wants to be a starter somewhere and he would spend another season as backup next year probably.

 

[MarcoVol]

Not for us but

 

[Garren04]

Rocco off the board

 

[TrippieRedd]

Sucks to lose Bennett.


Oh well.

Oh well.

Wonder if that means Heard is coming back?

QB supply continues to grow. No reason to break the bank for a guy like Leavitt who isn’t millions better than a lot of others out there. JMO of course.

 

[Skooter]

Over 1600 players in the portal now. Crazy.

Why surprised? He has done literally nothing since being here. Whether its his fault or coaching, doesnt really matter and not surprising at all hes leaving.

Kids don’t want to take time and develop. If they don’t play as freshman then they transfer

True. But, you never know how injuries will alter plans. Would have been nice to keep him for depth. Can't blame him I don't guess.

It’s such a bad habit to form but it is what it is. No more developing and fighting thru trials. No more getting knocked down and getting back up and responding. Doesn’t work out early, just quit and go somewhere else. Terrible lesson for young men.

Didn't say a thing about being surprised. He was forced into action a few times this year and would have been nice for depth. That's all I meant!

Might as well just stop recruiting HS OL and DL, unless they are elite dudes like Sanders.

You can add QB as well. Most of them know they aren’t getting a shot in today’s world as a freshman.

He was the starter on the fake injury after a quick score team. It’s a prestigious position and important to team success. He got more time on camera this year than all of the starting OL combined.

He was our "Lay down lineman" after PATs. We'll need someone to step up next year in that position.

 

[TrippieRedd]

This is why I preach just recruiting the portal and not worrying about hurting feelings.

These kids are going to leave 99.9% anyways. Everyone is a mercenary in today’s game.

 

[Ratvol]

Also a University of Illinois alumni and former player that knew he likely wasn't being retained...

Interesting….

 

[LaagerVol]

Couldn’t stay healthy…..

 

[JT3]

Was hoping he was staying. Maybe this means Lance Heard is coming back.

Yep. Waste of money
