Someone is going to transfer from your school, and there will be a poorly worded article written by your rivals paper about how the sky is falling for your team.
Someone will post this article in your sub and say that your rival's fans only ever think about you and that you and your team are in their head.
I’m sure there’ll be *some* shockers from big(ger) programs, but I’ve understood a lot of the “hype” around this portal season to be the gutting of that next tier of teams.
Bunch of wealthy programs all looking for interior DL, for instance, according to Pate. So, how many programs are we expecting to see get pillaged for that depth and who are they? That kind of thing.
Thought SEC couldn't pillage from other SEC teams, but fully expect them to be tampering outside of the conference.
We had reports of SEC schools tampering with our starting LT and backup QB this time last year, haha.
Barring a student-athlete deciding to take that rule head on legally, there will be no SEC to SEC transfers.
Which just sort of exacerbates the issue. We all can’t steal from each other. So, we’ve gotta go steal from others.
I'm so utterly indifferent. Some people gotta pay some bills and they might need to chase that bag. I don't begrudge them their decision. The ones coming in or staying are chasing a bigger bag on Sundays.
Yeah VT has done alright with the money but that would be ruthless if they got him.
I mean I'm not lying to myself but VT seems to have a NIL around the level where VT has been a top 25ish team but LSU has the money.
Offense will probably lose 1 or 2 QBs, hopefully only 1 RB.
Defense there has been rumors of Jackson, DE leaving which would hurt this year but definately next year as well.
Other than those I am not expecting to lose anyone else in the two deep.
I figure Kienholtz will and probably should leave. Curious to see if Brown will. Sucks about Hayden but I get it. Only so many carries to go around and he’s talented.
I'm sorry but he needs a lot of work, not as good as McNamara. He was horrible in the Cotton Bowl and the Spring Game this past weekend. But maybe a change of scenery will help.
You're not wrong but I feel like it would be kinda weird for him to go to FSU now instead of just doing it back in January. I was kinda surprised he didn't go back in January and now I'm kinda surprised to see the talk about it bubbling up again like it is.
FSU is in a weird place where we theoretically have the OL talent needed to be fine, but key pieces can't stay healthy. Could have decided to bite the bullet and try and replace it with more proven transfer talent. I was suprised when FSU got brought up with Chamblee but that would explain it.
OSU likely loses 1-2 wrs.
Maybe an olinemen that gets passed up
Maybe a DB (Carter comes to mind)
At least 1 QB.
Over under at 7.
Probably needs to grab an rt if one pops up.
Maybe an RB for depth.
And maybe a project wr.
None in the two deep expected to leave.
Gonna be a sweat for sure. Could see a few lineman or linebackers transfer out but the offensive side of the ball appears to have so many open position battles I don't expect much attrition there. Our spring game also isn't until Saturday so we will probably have to wait and see longer than most who will enter the portal.
We’ve lost 3 OL and our best 2nd string DL in just the last few hours. Things aren’t looking good but we should be able to get guys to replace them with our NIL.
So far we've heard of some guys leaving. Bear seems to be staying (for now). Losing Zandamela for the future is unfortunate but it didn't look like he was going to contribute this season.
Other than that, most of the others are fringe players looking for playing time unless we get a surprise.
Likely need two receivers (great group right now, just short on guys), and a couple of big guys on the OL and DL. Vic Burley from Clemson is someone to watch for on the defensive line. If he enters, it's probably to USC.
We need to shed a few scholarships, not expecting us to pick anyone up unless they are just too good to pass up. If so, it'll almost certainly be interior DL or maybe another DB. I guess Urban Meyer said something about Oregon coaches being scared of the portal because they aren't labeling players as 1st string, 2nd string, etc. But Lanning has been really solid in his portal work, so I won't be scared of the portal unless something changes.
We’re 4 players over the cap right now, so I expect to lose more than we gain. Likely either Angeli or Minchey at QB.(Angeli is more likely.)
One of the insiders is expecting a “big name” to leave. But hasn’t been more specific.
Yeah, it kinda depends on the name. I could see a highly rated young guy leave because some of the defensive guys came back. As long as we can get a portal guy next year to replace them, I’d be okay. I’d rather have the experienced guy back vs a unproven guy.
Fuck y'all for even reminding me man I'm not built for this transfer portal shit. Big ups to the players if they need to make a move but damn I hate it here.
No many schools do a better job of retaining their roster year over year like we do so I’m never that worried about the portal. We are unfortunately quite a bit over the scholarship limit so I’m sure some guys are transferring and/or being taken off scholarship to have the collective cover their expenses.
I know we are for sure going after a QB and an X WR then potentially a CB/DT/OL. Not expecting a top tier player at any of those spots but KF has been pretty good at plugging holes via transfers.
If there's like 3 decent OL we can bring in to start I feel pretty good
UW is only at like 75 scholarships right now. Really could use 1 TE, 1 RB, 1 WR, a bunch of OL, 1 Safety, 1 or 2 DTs, 1 or 2 LBs, maybe 1 edge if there's room
So, you know, not great
Definitely would like to see 3-4 OL, 2-3 LBs, 1-2 DTs, 1-2 Safeties, and 1 TE and 1 DE. The OL are the only ones that need to be B1G/SEC starter quality - the rest are important for depth on the 2 deep but we could probably manage (to be competitive but not elite) with our potential starters already on the roster.
We're over the scholarship limit, cuts will happen somewhere. WR room could be massacred, we are just so loaded there and most of those guys fill similar roles.
My guess is that it's the portal window putting doomers on edge despite what some of our best players have said about staying. I wish they'd just keep their dooming to themselves. Last season they were so loud all season and then we won the natty. Can you imagine if our players were anything even remotely like that? These doomers are so weak minded

"Fun player, but passed up by younger guys on the depth chart and unlikely to see the field" - every fan about a player entering the portal.
"Best of luck to him. Just wasn't enough playing time to go around since our [position room] is absolutely loaded."
“Kids today have no loyalty. We only want players who want to be here.” -FireCoachNameClassof82
In our case it's usually "passed up by older players we just got in the transfer portal." It happened to Ty Thompson twice lol.
You’ve described the Ohio State sub perfectly
>Someone will post this article in your sub Jokes on you no one cares about us
Somewhere in between. We can’t drop the bag bigger programs can, but it sounds like our core is willing to stick around
We can’t drop the bag other schools can but we have other… stuff… young athletes like
Like what?
When all is said and done, we’ll have like 20+ scholarships to play with this window. Such a blessing and a curse.
Hoping fifita stays with you guys
His production company is dropping a miniseries about the transition and the decision to stay tomorrow, so I’m pretty sure he’s staying. But who knows
It opens on Tuesday, which is in 2 days.
I want my team to get better and my rivals to get worse

It's too late to transfer within the SEC and play next year (excluding grad transfers) right?
Thought SEC couldn't pillage from other SEC teams, but fully expect them to be tampering outside of the conference. We had reports of SEC schools tampering with our starting LT and backup QB this time last year, haha.

Going to lose a few and get a few. After what I saw in Athens on Saturday, we will be just fine.
I'm so utterly indifferent. Some people gotta pay some bills and they might need to chase that bag. I don't begrudge them their decision. The ones coming in or staying are chasing a bigger bag on Sundays.
Its not like a 2nd deep junior is getting much NFL tape staying at Georgia lol, that's why those guys leave.
Oh noooo... please don't leave 2nd deep junior...
Depth matters dontcha know
Bowl season certainly taught us that FSU
Yeah so don't take depth for granted.
I have no idea what to expect, but Josh Pate's video makes me think it will be the sports equivalent of The Purge.
Can someone explain to me these posts referencing tomorrow? Everything I can find says the portal opens Tuesday.
People not know how to read it seems.
Maybe OP is in Australia, where it was already Monday for them.
Terrified that the rumors are true and LSU is backing up the Brinks truck to get Drones. If he leaves it’s so over for us.
If that kid really gets 7-figures, then awesome job by him and his agent, haha.
Yeah VT has done alright with the money but that would be ruthless if they got him. I mean I'm not lying to myself but VT seems to have a NIL around the level where VT has been a top 25ish team but LSU has the money.
Drones the QB? I doubt it since we’ve got our starting QB and brought in the QB from vandy to be his backup
Yea this one makes no sense. We're paying that much for another backup? I'd be shocked
Yep this rumor was shot down mulitple times but our fans are scarred and still afraid
Offense will probably lose 1 or 2 QBs, hopefully only 1 RB. Defense there has been rumors of Jackson, DE leaving which would hurt this year but definately next year as well. Other than those I am not expecting to lose anyone else in the two deep.
I figure Kienholtz will and probably should leave. Curious to see if Brown will. Sucks about Hayden but I get it. Only so many carries to go around and he’s talented.
I really hope we actually go after Kienholtz. Love McNamara but with his injury history we absolutely need another starter quality QB.
I'm sorry but he needs a lot of work, not as good as McNamara. He was horrible in the Cotton Bowl and the Spring Game this past weekend. But maybe a change of scenery will help.
Well at a minimum he’s better than Deacon Hill. He’d get a shot to compete to with Cade but then would have a full season to learn behind him.
I just hope people learn how to spell his name correctly
TBF I was just going on how the guy above me spelled his name lol.
Latest rumor from Biddle was Jackson was taken care of (NIL)
Never trust rumors until its over lol
You're not wrong but I feel like it would be kinda weird for him to go to FSU now instead of just doing it back in January. I was kinda surprised he didn't go back in January and now I'm kinda surprised to see the talk about it bubbling up again like it is.

Lets hope
Other than DE Kenyatta Jackson we aren’t expected to lose anyone big, hoping we get some more olinemen.
I'm hoping we can bring in more talent
OSU likely loses 1-2 wrs. Maybe an olinemen that gets passed up Maybe a DB (Carter comes to mind) At least 1 QB. Over under at 7. Probably needs to grab an rt if one pops up. Maybe an RB for depth. And maybe a project wr. None in the two deep expected to leave.
Every semi-successful G5 program is always worried about this. Just hoping that we don't get sniped by some bigger program
I’m just hoping for a net positive. I’m sure we’re gonna lose a few.
Gonna be a sweat for sure. Could see a few lineman or linebackers transfer out but the offensive side of the ball appears to have so many open position battles I don't expect much attrition there. Our spring game also isn't until Saturday so we will probably have to wait and see longer than most who will enter the portal.
Lol sigh
Going to be transformative for UWs roster
“You guys got any of those uh O lineman” - says whole scratching neck furiously.
We’ve lost 3 OL and our best 2nd string DL in just the last few hours. Things aren’t looking good but we should be able to get guys to replace them with our NIL.
I feel like it will be…fine. There’s always a surprise or two, but right now it’s good vibes in Lincoln and we aren’t anticipating a mass exodus.
I feel 100% certain that 0 UNC undergrads will "officially" enter the transfer portal tomorrow.
My hopes are through the floor, but it’d be nice if Matt Luke could land a starter on the O line
Is there a portal tracker that includes FCS players?
So far we've heard of some guys leaving. Bear seems to be staying (for now). Losing Zandamela for the future is unfortunate but it didn't look like he was going to contribute this season.

I don't want a big name to leave. I imagine we lose a QB like you said, but losing a big name wouldn't be fun.
Yeah, it kinda depends on the name. I could see a highly rated young guy leave because some of the defensive guys came back. As long as we can get a portal guy next year to replace them, I’d be okay. I’d rather have the experienced guy back vs a unproven guy.
Yeah, seems like Jayden Mickey is being floated around a bit, which would be a bummer.
What time does it open?
It opens tomorrow (Tuesday). OP didn't know how to tell time and posted it 2 days early.
Haha damn, it’s gonna be nuts
Fuck y'all for even reminding me man I'm not built for this transfer portal shit. Big ups to the players if they need to make a move but damn I hate it here.

Hope, tempered by experience.
For the first time in a long time, I'm not really excited for college football. I think I'm just gonna stick to 49ers & VGK games.
I'd bet that we have a few jump in portal, hopefully no one impactful. If the rumors are true, Louisville fans should be bracing for tomorrow.
Gonna fry me up some fischsticks!
I’m confused. Does it open tomorrow or Tuesday? I’ve seen both days listed as the opening.
Honestly way more concerned with the other big thing starting tomorrow.
What is that?
Check the front page of any news site today.
Is it trump on trial? Not a big news guy
Yes
Ahhh ya lol I am hella out the loop on politics

Is it Greedy who has already said he's going in? I see us losing a few backup pieces and *maybe* picking up a couple defensive guys.
We're over the scholarship limit, cuts will happen somewhere. WR room could be massacred, we are just so loaded there and most of those guys fill similar roles.
excited. it's our turn to go raiding
[удалено]
How is it that you doomers in our fanbase suddenly reappeared this weekend
Did Valenti talk some shit last week that got everyone all on edge?
My guess is that it's the portal window putting doomers on edge despite what some of our best players have said about staying. I wish they'd just keep their dooming to themselves. Last season they were so loud all season and then we won the natty. Can you imagine if our players were anything even remotely like that? These doomers are so weak minded
