So Fong Bombs coming in for Dickerson to

MtnHusker · Jan 26, 2021

Oregon. Duck It. Kinda makes sense and not concerned if we lose him as long as the coaches sign a Pass Rusher and QB with the 2 remaining spots. Dickerson is definitely talented but we have some serious holes in this roster that need immediate repair.

I posted this on RSS, but it's Fong and another dude having to change their Minnesota CBs to something else. Each put in a very low-confidence score of 3, which is unusual for Fong. I think it's just a matter of having to take a guess at this point. I don't think anyone really knows with any measure of certainty right now.

I have a feeling we will see more guys transfer, and thus more scholarships open up.

But how many guys can you take? Is it still only 25 total or...?

Problem isn't more scholarships opening up, the problem is we can only offer 25. We already have commits of 23 so only 2 spots left.

Something I find interesting is Bielema has barely recruited anyone at Illinois. I wonder if he is just going to raid the Transfer Portal to fill his openings. Makes sense to me for a coach who gets a late start on recruiting. I could see perennial bottom feeders like KU resorting to this with the 25 scholarship limit.

Given how crappy most transition classes are, raiding the transfer portal seems like the smart move. I wish Frost could have done that in 2018.

Wasn’t that before the portal existed?

I think there were grad transfers in 2018. I'm not really sure when the whole portal business came about though.

If it was there it was very new. Definitely wasn't what it is today. This year and next year will probably be the easiest two years of having a transition class.

I’m pretty sure the portal came in during the 2018 season. Because I remember Bell waiting until the day it opened then hitting the portal. So frost couldn’t have really used it. Grad transfers were definitely a thing, though.

Isn't the portal just something to make it easier for players and schools to find each other? Transfers have been a thing, it's probably gotten more common since 2018, but it's really just a way of matching players to schools.

In addition, It makes it so the players school doesn’t have to release them from their scholarship, and they can’t put restrictions on where they can transfer. Definitely makes the whole process easier for the player.

Yeah good point. You would think they could manipulate the numbers...Im sure there is more than one way to work the system with the 25 limit.

Yeah... I just have no idea how it works really.

Transfer restrictions were always dumb
