I'm gonna be honest. I thought there would be more transfers out by now.

I was really of the opinion that some dudes would have seen the writing on the wall before now.

Anybody else surprised?

Obviously we are gonna have to process a handful of dudes so man is next Monday gonna be a busy day.
 
No point in leaving while spring practice is going on.
Seems like a rational approach, but young people don't all act rationally all of the time.

So I expected some dudes not to even return after spring break.

I guess Betts didn't come back so you are right

Seems like we don't usually have as many transfers as people think we will, but maybe this year will be different since we seem to have a little more depth this year at some positions
 
How many do they need to have transfer to get to 85?

Add 2 more to that because I'm guessing they'll go looking for a TE and possibly another DL in the portal.

the number of players stuck in the portal is astonishing. i think that has slowed it down a bit. Also maybe we have guys who actually want to be here 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
I count 87...(I haven't removed Betts yet even though it is everything but official)

But we also have two guys that are unofficially joining in the summer...so that means we are at 89.

I also don't know the status of Damien Jackson, Oliver Martin or Wyatt Liewer...if they are on scholarship or not.

This.... by waiting they got their check, get access to all the weight room/practice/nutrition/etc... and it is pretty calm in the portal world right now. Might as well hang around till after spring and they are competitors Nobody wants to be told they failed. Spring is their last chance really.

After spring semester it wouldn't surprise me if we see a good amount of movement in the portal (coming and going).

I'm guessing (by guessing I mean hoping) that Liewer and Jackson are off scholarship. If so that means 86 with Betts gone. Only 1 needs to transfer.

guessing they'll do some post spring practice evals and show 5-6 guys the door and another 3-4 will leave on their own. hope the TCU DE transfer comes to fruition and we find another interior DL and OL.
 
I think the staff might have to ask for some scholarships back…

I look for 10 scholarships to open. Maybe guys aren’t off the team. But they aren’t on scholarship.

Scott is going to pull 10 scholarships?
Pull or not renew? If they were walkons put on scholarship they aren't guaranteed for 4 years. But I didn't think there were 10 guys that fell under that. Jackson, Liewer, Ty Hahn?, Belt (he'll stay on though right?), Hixson, Martin...am I missing someone

Between the guys who I think leave on their own or are told they don’t have a spot on the team and the scholarships that aren’t renewed I believe there will be ten players that are on scholarship now but won’t be come 8/1.

In the WR room, I think we’ll lose a couple of kids and I think we’ll ask for a couple of guys’ scholarships back if we need to make numbers work.
 
It's the cut throat side of the portal. Like this.

can't find it and it probably got cancel cultured, but one of the best SNL skits of all time was the negro league baseball one with Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest. They said when they cut a player back then, they'd tell them a family member died and the ball club would just move on without 'em. 🤣🤣🤣
