2024-25 Portal SZN Thread

Kid can’t catch a break

Seriously his commitments always get stepped on.

Kaelin, back up to back up

Gotta think Danny knew about this. But if not & VA did him dirty, he can jump right back in the portal again... nothing binding about a transfer commitment.

He will only be a backup for a year with them though, here he is guaranteed two with Raiola

Virginia must have just got to Kaelins Sr. film which suggested G5, FCS.

Chandler will be a senior next year.
I highly doubt Kaelin was brought in with a promise if starting next year

I read an article on his commitment and it said they were looking to take 2 transfer QBs. I was kind of surprised considering his situation at NU but maybe it was his best offer. Hopefully it works out for him or he'll be back in the portal next year.

In only caring about the portal for starters or true depth pieces (non developmental), here's what I think we'll do:

Pos.	Starters Have | Need​	Depth Have | Need​	Need
QB	1 | 1​	0 | 1​	We need the backup QB from the portal
RB	2 | 2​	2 | 2​	none
TE	1 | 1​	1 | 2​	Depends on what Nate and Fidone do, and I'm also not sure what the TE position will be under Dana, but Luke can be the starter. HH is likely a back-up piece. Don't think we have the other backups so if we lose both Nate and Fidone, then we'll need to bring in a TE.
WR	3 | 4​	4 | 4​	Lloyd was darn close to 200 snaps last year, which is my "top 35" demarcation. I am comfortable with him, Bonner, and Barney, but we need a fourth. That fourth is also probably our leading receiver, so kind of important. If we take 2 WRs, that means we aren't comfortable with Lloyd taking more snaps next year.
OT	2 | 3​	1 | 1​	We need a starting tackle. Mabye two depending on where Corcoran and Teddy are.
IOL	3 | 4​	2 | 2​	Hopefully Guidice fills the need here.
DT	2 | 3​	3 | 3​	I think we need another DT who can take a bunch of snaps.
Edge Jack + DE	4 | 4​	2 | 2​	Nwaneri and Keona coming back covers us. If McGahee or Lenhardt portal, we'll need to backfill them with our own portal guy.
MLB	2 | 3​	2 | 2​	I think we need a starter type transfer. I've got Shavers and Bullock, but don't think we anticipate Rogers or Chrisitian Jones ready for that spot.
CB	2 | 2​	2 | 2​	none
S	2 | 4​	3 | 3​	If Hartzog sticks around, then we only need one safety, but still have concerns he'll do that. But Buford and Stewart are probably 2 of the main players.
ST	2 | 3​	0 | 0​	Need a starting punter.

You’re right. I had him tagged as a class of 2021 in my tracker. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[Dawgsauce]

TnD insider says he's secret commit to Dawgs which is great news for everyone else. Usually means last second jump to another school. Maybe Ole Miss if not Dawgs? Are y'all still seeing any Husker smoke? @HuskerGarrett ? Hopefully it's all #CornDawg and he goes to a school in red.

He’s scheduled for a visit this week. So plenty of time for this to be proven false or true I suppose.

 

[Flabio]

I am deeply confused how Georgia gets top 5 recruiting classes every year but chases transfer portal for any position outside of maybe LT and QB. How do you not reload with a roster of all four and five star players?

Maybe we’re waiting to drop our huge NIL offer on him on his visit
