Transfer Portal

yeah been telling my ou guys on FB the same thing

He was ranked dead last out of 219 RBs in yards after contact, and in the bottom 10 in forced miss tackles. They love talking about '23, but then you see who his big games were against.. They are snake bitten at RB. They have hyped up multiple players since BV arrived and all have fizzled. Hearing that Tatum is now taking baseball more seriously and could be in the portal soon

To be fair, Cal had a shit OL in 23 and especially in 24. He's definitely not a RB who's gonna beat contact, he needs a decent OL to really work. But his injury issues are a big concern regardless. Not sure how good OU's OL is gonna be this year, that will determine how well he does though.

He's coming off an ankle injury right? I was kind of surprised we went after a RB as we have a bunch there with experience already but clearly they see something in the guy and others do to to label him the #1 portal RB. Regardless we could sure use him as a punt returner.

Yep. A lingering ankle injury that pretty much hampered him all season. I doubt he transferred anywhere to settle for just being a return man though. He's a pretty decent receiver at RB there's all sorts of ways you could use him as long as he stays healthy which is the big question mark.

No man I'm happy with the running back room. Barnes and Sawchuck were both injured last year but are both proven guys. Taylor Tatum you know all about, a true freshman that couldn't hold onto the football. You have to think that gets better. And Xavier Robinson speaks for himself.

this was from my Morning UT update:

One interesting note:

Some other schools are using a 48-hour mandatory filing rule to detain some of their players from entering the portal on a more timely basis.

In other words, schools are hoping the House Settlement passes before being forced to enter a player’s name in the transfer portal. It’s an effort to retain the player by potentially deflating a player’s value, allowing their own school to be financially competitive for the player and/or a combination of both factors.

The move is unlikely to work. More key players, ones Texas may target, are expected to officially enter the portal in the next 24 hours.

Until the House Settlement passes there are no FMV guardrails on NIL. Other schools desperately want those guardrails when competing with Texas, Ohio State, etc.

Angelli in the portal. Must mean CJ Carr won the QB battle. Angelli was always pretty good when he played. Hopefully this means Carr is going to be a stud.

Carr or Minchey. Angeli was probably told he was not in the lead and probably short of that he was going to bolt. He only had 2 years of eligibility left

Nagy whacks David Stone. I guess he didn't like what he was paying for the former 5 stars 6 tackles last year and buried on the depth chart. Every player is just a 1 year rental now. The new college football.
