2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

They said yesterday we were saving money and avoiding battles for Skill players

Then prove it and make sure Coleman doesn’t visit OSU. Lock him down today.

 

[RikidyBones]

Hate is a strong word, but yeah, he’s not good. Our st’s play this year was a disaster.

I wouldn't say disaster. The only bad thing was FG accuracy. The ST was uneventful besides that.

 

[EastTNVol423]

Meh. I want a game changer that is elite in every game not just capable for a single play against one team.

we definitely needed a big time home run threat. i don't care about this kid returning kicks.

early returns this portal cycle are that we are still an unserious program......sigh.

They probably selling him and Gilliam on playing together again.

“We might not be able to pay you more, but we can sure develop you into a NFL pick so you can make more money”

Elite players usually fart in our ear.

Yeah it didn’t make much sense. “Kick returner”

Did we not just see Dodson return for a TD like a week ago?

The returning team wasn’t good, but I also chalk a lot of that up to Boo just being a moron.

AP as of now just said he'd take the field for Coleman

Yay another loss. Let me guess, we aren’t getting into bidding wars for elite DL either? Maybe we will get into a bidding war for the kicker.

yeah because OSU can't do that haha You have to pay the kid top money if you want him. Tons of programs out there can turn him into a top NFL player.

serious programs pay serious money for the best players and win ballgames. it's not rocket science.

We’re not serious.

Not surprised, go get Trick.

yeah but i dont think he Dodson will do that much in SEC play. the kick return was one of the slowest i've ever seen haha

just don't see a ton of value anymore in kick returner. most kickoffs are touchbacks anyways

my bad haha

1. They see it every day. They talk to agents. They talk to each other.

2. Internal methods haven't worked, probably.

Okay, giving the benefit of the doubt here. If the answer to #2 is correct, in what way do people think the situation will improve by going to social media with grievances? To be clear, I'm not trying to refute your claims here, just trying to understand the motivation behind putting this stuff out on social media. Seems to me there is nothing productive to be gained but potential to cause further damage by doing so, both with the relationship with the University and public perception.

Figures. Hes definitely gonna demand a lot of $$$

has to be on the all-name team

Turbo “dick”

Looks like we’re just going to have to follow the Indiana method and recruit high upside players flying under the radar in the portal and hope the hs recruits develop.

 

[EastTNVol423]

take off of the top guys off of our board from when this thing opened up. we aren't going to pay to play. two years in a row....might as well just get used to it. GBO

Schiano Sunday but waaaaaaaaay less?

I think its being spilled, to me at least, from frustration and not some grand plan to usurp anyone.

Here come all the reasonable responses

Land Trick and I don’t care

our staff has proven they can't develop hs recruits. we definitely can't identify talent the way they do. IU has it figured out right now

Dude we have a whole new staff.

i can agree with this but it just doesn't feel like we can land the plane
