2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

Lane was targeted 14 times and gave up 11 receptions? Nothing about that sounds right.

If you’ve watched the guy wearing #2 in Orange you know that it’s at the very least possible.

Give me Chaz. Let LSU have Leavitt.

Take Pribula and run the Remember the Titans offense with Kendrick and Bishop. Screw it

We’re going to take the Western Carolina kid and run the oompty oop.

Sounds like 500ypg to me

 

[Blake25p]

I am expecting Lane today, could trickle into tomorrow but I’d say 75% today.

Raphael is just arriving today so probably not till Monday, maybe tomorrow.

Any OL targets we need to be aware of since the Oregon St kid went to Texas?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Wouldn’t mind seeing some of the Ole Miss DL enter the portal.

Sat AM update on where I personally see it:

Commits:
OT Orry Williams (LSU)
DT Xavier Gilliam (PSU)
LB Amare Campbell (PSU)
NB Qua Moss (Kansas State)
CB Kayin Lee (Auburn)
K Cooper Ranvier (Louisville)
LS/LB Blake Howard (Eastern Kentucky)

High Confidence:
S DeJuan Lane (Penn State)
RB Kendrick Raphael (California)

Medium Confidence:
DE/LEO Chaz Coleman (PSU)
DB Gentry Williams (Oklahoma)

Low Confidence:
QB Sam Leavitt (Arizona State) - this is my personal read the QB info has been locked tight so I know as much as anyone else but I just don’t get good vibes watching from the outside here.
DT Francis Brewu (Pittsburgh)

Visiting too early to say:
S Joenel Aguero (Georgia)
QB Beau Pribula (Missouri)
S TJ Metcalf (Michigan)
S Hussey (Org St)
LB/EDGE Jordan Norman (Tulane)
DL James WR/Specialist Gavin Freeman (Oklahoma State) (Alabama)
EDGE Qua Russaw (Bama)

Chaz will change to high today…

I sure hope they reach out to the Western Carolina QB.

 

[sonofUT62]

Chaz will change to high today…

Me too. During halftime of the bball game.

 

[CamVol8]

Miami just made it to the championship with a dunk and dunk offense coupled with a great defense.

We need a strong defense more than an expensive QB. Just pick up a bargain bin guy like Pribula. We already have a good RB, OP, and WRs. Sure up the D and we have a team.

Matthews, Staley, Keys etc. didn’t come here to not get the ball tho. That’s why I think it’s crucial we land a top QB because they’re expecting a high dosage of targets

Is that a gut feeling or you know something that will materially change the situation or outlook?

Was reading an article about Jakobe. Some have insisted it was all NIL, which it wasn’t.
Get this..in ‘24:
Andre Turrentine played 300 more defensive snaps than Jakobe.
Will Brooks played 300 more defensive snaps than Jakobe.
Jakobe and Christian Charles played about the same.
He was pissed. Almost quit. Stuck it out and got paid to go ball out for coaches who knew wtf they were doing.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Didn’t keep up yesterday. Bama transfers get a visit lined up?

I believe so

I’m begrudgingly reading this Tim Banks is a dipstick.

Run first, you mean just like us? Which is the point I’m making. Similar philosophies of run to set up the pass and force the defense to stack the box so you can throw over them. That makes it easy on the QBs so that even average QBs can find success. Hence why Brady Cook threw for over 3000 yards and 20 TDs in a season even though he’s not an exceptional QB.

Pribula had one of the best RBs in the country next to him. Teams crowded the box and he still wasn’t an efficient passer. That won’t change here.

Cook did that in 2023, his last year there in 2024 it was 2500 yards on 321 attempts with a 62.6% completion rate. They threw the ball 50 times less in 2024 than his high in 2023 then it dropped even further this year.

Pribula did 1900 yards on 270 attempts but had a 67.4% completion rate.

Now why they have thrown the ball less and less year over year I do not know. Maybe the run game is considerably better. Maybe they didn’t trust Pribula to throw. He had higher turnovers and less average yards per attempt on his throws than Cook. Though, why throw less with Cook than in 2024 over 2023?

Pribula did have less weapons. The best receiver Luther Burden III was drafted in the 2nd last year and the receiving corps was not special this year.

Which is all to say - the 2023 Cooks comparison to 2025 Pribula one is not a fair one and ignores 2024.

FedEx finally drop the bags off?

When we go all out for someone, we usually get them. And he is getting everything

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

I’m begrudgingly reading this Tim Banks is a dipstick.

Banks treated Turrentine like he was his lover.... Brooks was a baller in '24, but there was no legitimate footballing reason to start Turrentine over Thomas

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Lets get Lane, Coleman and Raphael locked up today.

 

[DD4ME]

Kiffin was trying to get back in the graces with Leavitt after he dropped a turd in the punch bowl with Demond

@Ericvol2096

 

[sonofUT62]

Can we realistically get Lane and Aguero? Or is he just here for tourism?

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

Also Heupel and members of the defensive staff will be in Ohio today for an in-home with Chaz Coleman - VQ

Well, it sounds like Heupel finally finished his vacation in Martin, Tennessee.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

5'11" 180lbs

At that size, seems like he'd have the same worry as GMac.

Heck let’s look for a 5’7” 170 pound quarterback. And some skinny legged lineman to go with him. We will out quick them. Blue font intended!

Our talent evals and player development on defense has been **** sometimes. Indiana has been so successful because they can identify the right player AND develop them to play their best.
