Speaking of Portal....I wonder who we will lose.

two schollies are already open: Gilbert and Morton (yes, wtf is that guy?? Entered portal toward beginning of season)

QB: Sims, Purdy
RB: Ervin, Ives (coaches have mentioned development though, so probably stays)
WR: IGC, Bullock (won’t renew his schollie, back to walk on status like his hands suggest),
TE: Appleget, Smith-Flores, Gilbert
OL: Corcoran, Benhardt (does he try pro? Hopefully stays but could see him leaving)
DL: Tagaloa; don’t see much else due to youth and transfer rule issues like Jeudy
LB: Kpai, Snodgrass; once again a lot of youth and contributors outside these two. Don’t see Borders leaving due to transfer rules.
CB: Safeeullah, Lynum, Morton
S: Stewart, Williams; possible Bretz and Stenger

-Edit, forgot about specialist: Bleekrode, out the door he goes

And as we all know The Simulation™️ will claim one of our top players.
Good list.

I think Bleekrode will be the starting punter next year. If you watch him in warmups, and funny enough, he's booming them better than Boomschini currently is.
 
I'm sure we have to trim some fat. And there are some obvious choices, but clearly we will lose someone who we don't want to lose like Hausmann from last year. (How good would this defense be for him?)

I think Gabe Ervin hangs um up.
Obviously Sims will be dropped off at the bus station.
I also think someone like Fidone might bail because his roommate (HH) is about to be thrown to the curb and he might think he could shine somewhere else. (I'm not ot sure he actually could but he might think that anyway)

AJ Rollins?


I also think 3 Freshman WR/TE guys who were connected to the DUI coach might bounce. Haven't even heard their names.

Does anybody have any ideas? I'm just blindly speculating.

Hopefully everyone
 
If you want a Simulation pick: Emmett Johnson. Minny never even offered him. Minneapolis is his home town. These were his only offers:

How would he react if Minnesota offered a chance for him to play in his hometown in front of family and friends?

Not saying this would not could not be plausible but EJ seems like the kid who wants to prove doubters wrong instead of joining them
 
I always ask this question about the portal, who have we ever lost that we really wish didn't leave?

Hausmann and Wan'Dale...but anyone else?

Definitely Casey Thompson. People will say he was injured, didn’t do well this year at the place he transferred to but whatever

He was a good QB, good game manager I thought, and he could throw a forward pass

We would have at least 3 more wins this year with him at the helm
 
I guess that's fair...but Casey feels different. The coaches made a deliberate choice with Casey. He 100% would have stayed if it weren't clear that Satt and Rhule were locked in on Sims. That feels less like "we lost a good player" and more "we kicked out a good player".

A guy named Logan would have been useful this year as well.
Kind of the same as Casey, but I still don't think Logan is a lot better than what we have.

Casey wanted to be guaranteed that he'd be the starter. I don't know many coaches that would give that guarantee.
 
Nah big bro gonna come to play with little bro in Lincoln for his Senior year.
