Michigan has two in the portal so far, might be a whole lot more.
P Will Hart and OL Zach Carpenter.
MSU OL Devontae Dobbs in the portal. He joins his former Belleville/MSU teammate Julian Barnett.

I presume the NCAA will liberalize the 85 scholly rule at some point. We have FNGs coming in promised Schollys, we have fifth year guys who like college staying, and bound to be a LOT of folks portalizing. Presuming MOST of these are not All American types, will they land a spot somewhere?
-
5th year players will not count against scholarship limits in Fall 21 if they stay at their current school. If they transfer, they WILL count as one of the 85.

Here is the list of portal kids for Wisconsin, per 247:

The way Wisconscin played in 2020 they knew there'd be no takers ;D

Ah, thanks, had not seen that. So, these portal players are running a real risk.

MSU OL Devontae Dobbs in the portal. He joins his former Belleville/MSU teammate Julian Barnett.
And CB Davion Williams. All 3 2018 Belleville kids gone. Which on one hand is weird, on the other hand, they couldn't even get on the field.
MSU has added Temple grad transfer QB Anthony Russo, and 2018 4* RB Harold Joiner from Auburn. Sounds like they may be adding a TE from UL Monroe too, and possibly a LB from USC.
-
Barnett and Dobbs are a curious case. Both those guys can definitely play. I wouldn’t be against Michigan pursuing either one. I’d love to have Dobbs actually. Get as many talented OL as you can. Dobbs best fit might even be at DT. He was an ultra athletic big man in HS.
Michigan added OL Willie Allen and sounds like they are going after the LB from Western Mich Treshaun Hayward. Hayward was a consensus All-American in 2019 I believe.
That’s the only names I’ve heard so far, but I’m sure they’ll be trying to add more. DT and CB is a huge pressing need.
I wonder if Jalen Mayfield sticks around for 2021. Michigan barely played any games this year and Mayfield just about missed them all. Can’t imagine his draft stock is super high. Willie Allen could help be a huge shot in the arm at one of the guard spots if Mayfield comes back. I might actually like Michigan’s OL in 2021 if Mayfield returns.

Ya this would be the year to see some snaps in EL if you can play

i dont think they do expand the 85 while this years seniors wont count towards that 85 if they return the following years the seniors will. so in reality there will be a log jam of players in the freshman year next year potentially partials from 3 classes
RS+ covid Freshmen
2nd year Freshmen
true Freshmen
lots of freshmen going to make it interesting especially with a liberal transfer policy
its a wait and see thing!
-
They may have 100+ on scholarship and really only 50 or so seeing play.

Jeslord Boateng and Rocky Lombardi join him. Lombardi was obvious. I'm a little bummed about Boateng, I liked him, but the obvious issue this year of fitting Dantonio's style of linebacker into a 2 LB scheme was glaring. He and Harvey could have been studs, but they just don't cover the field enough in this scheme.
-
MSU adds All-Sun Belt OT Jarrett Horst over Texas, Oklahoma, and Florida State. The program has done a 180 in strategy. We'll see if it works

Former UW starting QB Jack Coan out.
Figured it was coming, hope he lands somewhere good (not Illinois).

Writing on the wall with that one. He's already got a masters, correct?

Gotta think Julius Davis is going to poke around. Suspended for 5 games, and only one (bad) carry yesterday. He's in the dog house, for sure.
LSU, ND, UGA all wanted him out of HS.

I don't think so. They make it harder to figure out now.
I'm 80 percent sure his major is business school. He's been on campus eight semesters, plus four summers. I'd bet he has is undergrad. Not sure about grad school.

Michigan RB Christian Turner enters the portal. He's from Georgia, maybe Georgia Tech?

Both are going to Memphis, which checks with the fact that Barnett looked terrible every time he was on the field, and Dobbs couldn't even get out there

Dobbs was only a RS Frosh. Takes time for OL’s to develop. Especially ones that had horrible coaching in high school like he did. I don’t know- just me but I wouldn’t quit on a RS Frosh OL so quickly.
Barnett was a top rated cornerback in HS that MSU moved to WR. Cornerback that can’t run routes and catch the ball consistently? Hey who knew. There’s a reason some guys play cornerback and not WR. And then they moved him back to CB in 2020. Not great for a young players development to keep flip flopping positions like that. Kid should’ve been stuck at CB from day one and redshirted.
I really don’t understand why so many young players get their redshirts burned needlessly. Harbaugh is fricken notorious for this. Kids shouldn’t burn their redshirts unless they are major contributors day one. Basically if he’s not a starter caliber player as a true Frosh- redshirt his ass. Wisconsin is the model- you redshirt true freshman players. Period.

OU's official #2 QB Tanner Mordecai is entering the portal. He'll be a serviceable QB for someone.

Dobbs is a guard, who seems hellbent on playing tackle.
-

That's also a big issue- when a player is stubborn and wants to play a position he's not best suited for. You tell them whatever you have to in order to get them on campus, and then give them a shot at the position they want and then just move them later imo.

That's how Michigan got Bredeson.
-
That's how Michigan got Bredeson.
I don’t buy this. They got him because his older brother was already at Michigan.
Harbaugh is incapable of this. All he had to do to keep AJ Dillon was tell him he’d get a shot at RB and wouldn’t. AJ Dillon would’ve been by far the best RB Michigan has had in almost 20 years. Ben Bredeson isn’t even close to being that as an OL. Hell he wasn’t even the best OL in his class. Mike Onwenu was.
-
UW recruited him as a guard. He wanted to play tackle.
The brother thing helped for sure - don't get me wrong. But he would have been UW had they recruited him as a tackle.
-
He did it with Brian Cole, or was that Hoke? Didn't work out either way
-
That's how Michigan got Bredeson.
And how Wisconsin got David Edwards.
-
And how Wisconsin got David Edwards.
Haha. Edwards was a HS QB and was recruited to UW to play TE. He just never stopped growing.
-

Brian Cole was a Hoke commit that stayed with Harbaugh. Probably the only highly rated one that did. Damien Harris, George Campbell, and all the others bailed.
Cole got kicked out of Michigan, played at some obscure junior college, then transferred to Mississippi State and his first year there only played in a few games before having a season ending injury. He really only had a solid senior year of production for his entire college career. He still wound up getting drafted in the 7th round just because he did so well at the combine.
-
Haha. Edwards was a HS QB and was recruited to UW to play TE. He just never stopped growing.
Yeah, Iowa recruited him as an OT. He cited longterm health concerns about putting all that weight on his body as the reason he chose to play TE at UW over OT at Iowa. A year later, he's playing OT at UW. Pretty classic example of telling the kid what he wants hear.
-
He really wanted to be a QB in college. Could you imagine that? Pretty tough to stop a QB sneak.
It's amazing how he grew. He just could not stop. In HS, he never lifted and never ate breakfast. He was 215 pounds.

Not surprising but disappointing. Didn’t play is senior year of HS due to moving/eligibility
no spring or camp or cupcakes to get reps so he never got a single game snap.
-
Jeslord Boateng and Rocky Lombardi join him. Lombardi was obvious.
In what program, or type of program, could Lombardi land? I have a feeling he has some tools, but I didn't see them.
-
where will players go that are not picked up? D2 D3?
-
good luck to them, but it's obvious that most should stay with their current team
-
where will players go that are not picked up? D2 D3?
Same places they've always gone.
Kids move down all the time, or they quit and don't return. This might make them think it's a shinier prospect, but in the end, it's long been part of the deal.
-

Someone pointed out that they aren't sure how transferring down helps him. He has a cannon, and his deep ball got better this year, but the accuracy on his short stuff is abysmal. Lack of arm strength, lack of athleticism, can be covered up against G5/P5 opponents, but if you can't hit your slants or crossing routes, and are so dependent on your deep ball, that has sort of the same hit/fail rate anywhere.

Yeah, MSU had a walk on backup long snapper "enter the portal". That's one of those that always happened, and if anything was only noticed by a beat writer doing a deep dive into the spring roster. Now it's a whole thing.
-
MSU CB Chris Jackson, who started a game, and looked ok, but left the team in November to return home to Georgia, is in the portal, as expected.
-
Offensive lineman Boe Wilson has entered the NCAA portal as a graduate transfer.

I'm sure there are some kids who throw a name in rather than cycle through as someone who doesn't play or rarely plays. This got me thinking about the class that came in with me in college. They had mildly better retention than I thought. Bad QB.
Also, the Wisconsin coaching mafia runs so damn deep. I was looking for kids I though might have left early as transfers or dropouts. Two kids who I thought would be candidates (one done in by injury, the other thrown off the team) ended up a Purdue assistant and a 9-year NFL assistant, a position coach for the past four.

Maryland football has its first incoming transfer of the offseason, Former Nebraska wide receiver Marcus Fleming is a Terp. Fleming, a former four-star recruit from Florida, announced his commitment -- first reported last week by InsideMDsports -- today on Twitter.
A Miami native who was ranked the No. 44 receiver and No. 259 player in the country last year, Fleming is another piece in Maryland's deep and talented wide receiver room and another score for Maryland defensive line coach Brian Williams, who's been on a recruiting tear this winter.
The 5-10, 170-pound Fleming led Nebraska with 75 yards on five catches against Northwestern on Nov. 7, but didn't play again for unspecified reasons, eventually becoming one of five Floridians from Scott Frosts's 2020 recruiting class to leave the program. Maryland had recruited him out of high school as well.

Well-rated recruit, stunningly good at running into the backs of linemen.

Jack Coan to ND.

To a degree, I get why. I also get why they screw it up, which is interesting. In some ways, it's part of the growing up process we all have.

It's worth noting being in the portal does not equal leaving. It just means more or less you can be recruited to leave, and I'm definitely in the more information is better than less camp for players.
-

ND has no experience coming back assuming Book is gone. I thought it was weird too until I looked at their depth chart.
-
I get that. I just don't like that UW is playing ND this year, and Coan knows the playbook inside and out.
-
Well UW got to see ND's offense vs Clemson/Bama and has that on film.Plus Liam Eichenberg the massive O-lineman from around these parts is leaving.So the Domers may be coming back to earth
-

That’s the beauty of Badger Football. Everyone in the conference knows just about their whole damn playbook, but still can’t stop it LOL

Sure, as on overall idea, that's great. But HCs yearn for buy-in. And all these players are looking around at other possible places - that's not buy-in.
They've all got a girlfriend, but suddenly add a dating app on their phones....

Huskers got that with Noah Vedral at Rutgers this fall
had to change the audible language and other things because I'm pretty sure Vedral knew the offense better than Martinez

I'm not convinced the additional info they are getting is necessarily correct though. I'm fine with more player empowerment, but I think some of these changes are actually bad for them. It's easy to recruit as the unknown against the known.

I would agree that can be an issue, but the flipside to that is shady recruiting stuff has been ongoing forever, and now coaches have to be more honest in what they pitch to guys because if they get caught lying, it's really easy for the player to move on. How many guys have promised a kid they will play him at a certain position, or will get a chance to start, knowing they have no intention of honoring that promise to any realistic degree?

former 5* and Vols starting OT Wanya Morris enters the portal, will be transferring from Tennessee.
Will be interesting to see where he goes. He's a heckuva player. Tennessee just might have mass exodus of guys this off-season.
-
not many starters go to the portal
-
Nebraska added a commitment on Monday from the transfer portal as 2019 FCS Associated Press Third Team All-American Samori Toure chose the Huskers as his next stop, following a prolific career at Montana.
The good news attached to that he's also planning to arrive to campus in January and take part in winter conditioning and spring ball.
The 6-foot-3, 190-pound receiver had an outstanding junior season where he hauled in 82 receptions for 1,495 yards and scored 13 touchdowns. He also amassed 303 yards in a playoff game against Southeastern Louisiana, breaking a 23-year-old mark previously held by Marshall’s Randy Moss.

As long as he lands in Ky.He was seeing the field plenty.Avg 5 yp carry and 10yp catch has some speed too
-
better quickness and moves than top end speed, but he's not slow
special talent - easily the most talented player on the Husker roster

Purdue was on Robinson hard in the recruiting process... Indiana is a lot closer to Kentucky than Nebraska... Rondale Moore is leaving for the NFL...
Possible match?

He should play for the Bearcats over Kentucky or Louisville.

Previously, yes.
Between the portal and the waivers, it seems more kids are seeking lateral moves. MSU has brought in three kids from P5 schools this year.

That’s fair and true. But chances are, those transfers, on average, will help your team in smaller roles that showcase them less. Or, they’ll get beat out by other power five recruits.
-
And now 2 today do land at P5 schools, but both with a little bit of a caveat (one left for scheme change, one wasn't welcomed back due to off-field issues)
FB Max Rosenthal lands at Illinois. Good for him, he was recruited by the old regime, and didn't have a fit in the new scheme. Bielema got a goof FB here IMO.
LB Luke Fulton lands at Kentucky. He was suspended from the team indefinitely following an assault arrest. I don't think he actually played this year. I was really high on him as a recruit.
-
Nebraska football added another big commitment from the transfer portal on Tuesday, as USC running back Markese Stepp committed to the Big Red.
The redshirt sophomore battled multiple injuries this year for the Trojans, but played in five of the Trojans' six games. He finished as the team's third-leading rusher with 165 yards on 45 carries, for an average of 3.67 yards a carry.
Stepp was on track for a breakout season in 2019 before suffering a season-ending ankle injury against Arizona. He had slowly earned more touches as the season progressed and hit his stride against Notre Dame. Though USC didn’t get the win, the Indiana native finished with a career-high 82 yards on 10 carries for a touchdown. Injuries sidelined Stepp later that season, and Stepp tried to return before the end of the season, but his rehab went through multiple setbacks before it was finally determined his season was over. The running back finished the season with 307 yards on 48 carries and three touchdowns in 2019.
The 6-foot, 228-pound Stepp, a native of Indianapolis, was the No. 14 running back in the country in the 2018 class according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, which rated Stepp a four-star prospect with an overall rating of 0.8991. He chose the Trojans over Notre Dame, Georgia, Miami and others as a prospect.
Stepp, who was a redshirt sophomore at USC last season, will have three seasons of eligibility remaining in Lincoln.

Haven’t been paying attention comrade.
Lots of transfers in P5 that go on to do big things. OSU’s stud national championship game starting QB and RB both from the portal.
The portal has changed the game- and that one time transfer with no sit rule is going to change it even further.

I wouldn’t call Fields a wash out. Sermon was kinda a numbers situation, and then delivered a weird year. He goes for 68.8 yards a game backing up OSU’s worst tailback in a while through the regular season, then goes supernova. Shoot, if Teague doesn’t get hurt, Sermon might’ve been a part-time back all the way through.
Now, having that backup is good for OSU, but if one hit goes differently, might have been just OK for Sermon. And most kids ain’t Sermon.

Former 5* LB Quavarius Crouch is leaving Tennessee. Enters the transfer portal. Michigan finished second here, wonder if they get involved.
Former Top 50 recruit 4* LB Henry To’o To’o also enters the portal and is leaving Tennessee. Reports are Alabama, USC, and Michigan are the 3 schools he’s looking at transferring too.
Former Michigan commit and top247 recruit 4* RB Eric Gray is also fleeing Tennessee and enters the portal. Doubtful Michigan gets in here imo. They seem to be all in on the guys they already have plus the True Frosh Donovan Edwards.
These 3 join Former 5* OT Wanya Morris in leaving Tennessee. There will be more.

If the Vols don't find a pretty good coach to hire this time around, I mean someone they can stand to keep say 6-7 years ....
I attended one game there a few years back and was treated very well by their fans. It was the game Chubb hurt his knee on the first play. Seeing him come back has been gratifying. And my mom graduated from there, a while back. Not many women went to college back then. She was born in 1920.

This time it's LB JJ Peterson. Peterson was a 4*, the #48 player overall, #3 OLB in the nation, and #7 player in the state of Georgia in the Class of 2018 according to the 247Composite.
Peterson announces his transfer portal intentions just hours after Tennessee's highest ranked 2020 signee- defensive back Key Lawrence- who was the #80 player in the nation and #6 safety according to the 247Composite- announces he will be transferring to Oklahoma.

One thing I should've seen coming from the portal but am impressed by is how much it makes the idea of a coach coming into a good situation a thing of the past. These rosters are getting rocked by changes.

He had Adrian Martinez sweating for the top job all of preseason camp, bolted onto the scene on Nebraska's third play of the season as Buckeyes chased him, and even started two games at quarterback for the Huskers. But whatever Luke McCaffrey does next at the position will apparently not be with the Big Red 'N' on his helmet.
The redshirt freshman quarterback who created headaches for defenses with his quick burst (364 yards rushing) but also experienced growing pains in the passing game (1 touchdown, 6 interceptions) is now in the transfer portal. Offensive lineman Will Farniok and wide receiver Kade Warner are expected to do the same.
In what has been a busy month of comings and goings with Nebraska football roster news, it slims the Husker quarterback scholarship count to three: junior Adrian Martinez, redshirt freshman Logan Smothers and incoming Heinrich Haarberg out of Kearney Catholic.

I might enter the portal and go to Quebec for some TERRIBLE - Belgian quadruple-style ale .Buddy had some up there and raved about it.
-
I'd go for a triple Bock
-
He had Adrian Martinez sweating for the top job all of preseason camp, bolted onto the scene on Nebraska's third play of the season as Buckeyes chased him, and even started two games at quarterback for the Huskers. But whatever Luke McCaffrey does next at the position will apparently not be with the Big Red 'N' on his helmet.
Ed McCaffrey is sure raising them right

transfer portal has real possibility of ruining the sport. When Tom Brady didn't win the starting QB job at Michigan as a RS Soph in 1997 he was going to transfer back home to Cal. Brady's dad told him no. You're not a quitter, you aren't transferring back home- you made the decision to go there- stick it out.
As soon as players aren't starting year 1 they leave. It's insane.

that might be Thursday morning after tasting Wings Wednesday at the local bar
no triple Bocks to be found there

Ed should have taught Luke how to throw instead of running routes for his older brother
48 - 76 for 466 yards with 1 TD vs 6 INTs
I wish the kid would stay, but he's not going to beat out Adrian with that arm

Here's what's going on in the world: A transfer portal was created to help facilitate the process of players leaving programs for other programs. A portal — tell me you don't love that word — needed to be created because players are leaving programs across the country in increasingly large numbers. The last I heard, there were more than 1,400 players in the portal, including 130 from Big Ten programs, or 9.3 per school.
Here's what else is going on in the world: The NCAA at some point is likely to enact a one-time transfer exception, meaning transferring student-athletes can play immediately at their new school. That'll only increase the number of departures.
By waiting for the spring semester to begin Monday before making his exit official, McCaffrey ensured he'll receive his full grant in aid, including a stipend of around $1,600 per month, even though he's not even in Lincoln. Frost will bite his tongue on that part. The McCaffrey family is royalty in American football. It probably would be unwise to make life difficult for them.

Brady talks about it all the time- that struggle at Michigan to even get the starting job as a Jr and then to have to compete with the wunderkid Henson to keep his job as a SR and then going in the 6th round is one of the things that really drove him. That chip on his shoulder, the need to prove himself, and the desire to compete every snap in practice like a game because he didn’t know if he would be playing on Saturdays - he himself says that all traces back to his time at Michigan.
He says it himself. If he didn’t go through those struggles- he wouldn’t be what he is today. And if he didn’t get picked up by the Patriots and coached up and developed by one of the greatest X’s and O’s/strategizers in the history of the sport- he wouldn’t be what he is either.
I bag on Belichik on here a lot because he’s a f**ing GOD awful GM- but in terms of just coaching football- he’s easily among the very greatest coaches ever.

It was a joke. MDot. Joke.
I respect to a degree the idea that every part of his career had to be just so. But that's often how success works. It's natural to say everything you did factors in, because what happened was so unlikely. If he didn't go through through struggles, who knows? Maybe he would've felt those struggles and then he would've lifted a less talented team to 7-4. And he'd have a chip because of how the big boys treated him, et. al. Maybe Michigan and staying really mattered. We'll never know. Maybe if Drew Bledsoe stepped out of bounds two yards earlier, he's nothing. Who's to say.
-
Maybe if Drew Bledsoe stepped out of bounds two yards earlier, he's nothing. Who's to say.
This is what really set it in motion- but according to people today who were in New England at the time- Bill was looking for a way to Bernie Kosar Bledsoe and move on from the $100 million man. How true that is- we’ll never know. The way Belichik is- how he likes to get rid of guys a year or two early as opposed to a year or two late- just might be true.
But no question that Mo Lewis hit changed everything. And Belichik having the cajones to stick with Brady and take the heat after Bledsoe came back is easily his greatest coaching decision ever.
Bledsoe had that one pretty good year in Buffalo in 2002- but right after that he kinda fell off the cliff, was out of Buffalo after only 2 more seasons- then picked off the scrap heap by Parcells in Dallas only to be usurped again by a young up and comer from out of nowhere in Tony Romo.
Belichik traded Bledsoe within the same division to a hated rival. Shows you how little he thought of the guys game at that point in time. Would the Packers trade Aaron Rodgers to the Bears? Or the Lions trade Stafford to the Bears? Hellll no.

1990 was the first year I followed football at all, but by '91 I was locked in, and he was AWESOME that year for Denver.
This was the first time I really collected football cards, and I'd have to say the draft classes in 90 and 91 were crap. idk about overall, but the top prospects that had rookie cards produced......Todd Marinovich, Dan McGwire, Jarrod Bunch, Browning Nagle, Eric Bieniemy, Nick Bell.....the skill position guys were awful in '91.
.
In '90, you had Jeff George and Blair Thomas go 1-2. Ouch. And recalling some football cards of players that didn't pan out: Andre Ware, Alexander Wright, Reggie Rembert, Reggie Cobb. There were 7 linebackers chosen in the first round in 1990 - that seems insane.
.
But you did get Junior Seau, Mark Carrier, Emmitt Smith, Richmond Webb, and Rodney Hampton. Hampton had to be the slowest RB ever - he made Emmitt look fast.

Farrell anticipates this new, complex dance between coaches and their own players is here to stay.
“Now you’ve got to re-recruit the kids who are already on your own campus,” Farrell said. “That’s going to be a huge challenge for coaches who don’t love to recruit. There’s a balance between, ‘I’m the coach and you’re the kid,’ and ‘I’m the recruiter and you’re the kid I want to keep.’ That’s going to be extremely difficult for a lot of schools to juggle.”

I like the move for McCaffrey. Step down a level, work closer to home. If he’s actually good, it’ll come out, if not, wasn’t meant to be.

Apparently MSU fended off a late push from Oklahoma to retain offensive tackle transfer Jarrett Horst from Arkansas State.
With the portal, and the one-time transfer exception, it almost feels like signing day is diminished, because if they aren't happy after that first year, they're going to just move on anyway

Yup. Lot more OMG 5*’s and high 4*’s gonna move on after 1 year if they aren’t playing day one.
That transfer portal with 1 time exception existed back in the day Brady probably gets benched because Henson’s dad would’ve told Carr if you don’t start Drew he’s leaving.
-
Mullen had done a good job of this - Florida has acquired five former 5* players from transfers.
Although WR Shorter from Penn St looks like he runs a 4.75 forty. We'll see.
-
It does seem to help players migrate to better situations. Tight ends saw what Kyle Pitts could do at Florida and suddenly that's an attractive situation.
-
How come all the 5* RB's aren't waiting in line to transfer to Wisconsin?

Because they need to show that they can pass protect, and catch passes out of the backfield. O0

The answer is just kind of “because” right?
It’s the same thing where we ask why don’t more QBs want to play at a place with perpetually good OL, backs, tight ends and usually receivers? Just because.
-
Yes, RBs just HATE cold weather. Especially when it's low 30s, windy and raining, so you can't throw.
-
May as well learn about the cold while you're young, eh?
-
Every RB prays for bad weather, the night before the game.
They get the ball on every play, and the D gets tired of getting hit.
-

I guess not in the case of the alma mater. UW's in the starz era has only landed six four-star RBs
Clay - In-state and had to push some admissions stuff
Berger - NJ guy
Clement - NJ guy
Jackson - In-in state
Lance Smith - Ohio. Can't recall if he was a HS knucklehead, but sure was in college.
Melvin Gordon - In-state

I don't think that was his insinuation at all.
I think it was that for many high-profile athletic recruits, given the choice between Madison and Miami, choose the weather advantages of Miami. He wasn't saying 5* RBs don't want to go to Wisconsin, he was saying that elite players with other options probably aren't going to Wisconsin even if the offensive scheme is a fit.
Now, some places overcome that. Michigan, Notre Dame, and OSU have helmet... But UW does not.
You'd think that a 5* OL or a 5* RB from Arizona would look at Wisconsin, because they have a very friendly scheme to showcase their talent... But do they want to spend 3 years in Madison winters with Bertha in her parka? Or can they go somewhere that will showcase their talents AND have scantily-clad coeds running around campus for a lot more of the school year?

In 247's history (goes back to 2000), Wisconsin has had a total of (5) 5* players.
True, 3 of the 5 are OT, and two of them are in the last 3 years. So maybe that's "fast becoming", I don't know...
OSU has has >(25) 5* players (247's "top 25 historical recruits" stops at 25), and I think I count about 6 or 7 OL recruits in those 25.
Helmet > scheme, when it comes to 'crootin.

This goes along with my hypothesis that far fewer players from out west go to schools in the east than vice versa (per capita, or whatever).
Someone would have to do a study, but I'd guess that there are FAR more kids leaving shitty, midwestern weather than volunteering for it without having grown up in it.

Many people come back to that shitty midwestern weather when they realize the desert sun has cooked the craniums of many yapping jackels in the SW.Most pleasant days of the winter so far hovering in the 20s with the sun bouncing off the snow everyone has been wearing shades specially driving west

Oregon starting quarterback and sophomore Tyler Shough will finish out his final three years of college eligibility at a different school.
Shough announced Friday morning via his Twitter account that he was no longer going to play at Oregon and would be transferring to a different school.
Shough played and started in all seven games for the Ducks in 2020. This was his first year as the starting quarterback for the Oregon Ducks. He finished the season throwing for 1,559 yards and 13 touchdowns, completing 106 of his 167 attempts, and also threw six interceptions. Shough averaged 9.3 yards per attempt this past season. Shough also ran for 66 carries in 2020 and finished the year with 271 yards on the ground and two more touchdowns.
Following the Fiesta Bowl, Shough was asked about this stance with Oregon after being benched and if he would return.

100%. Take as many big uglies as ya can. Mazi Smith is from Muskegon and he was a top 100 player and so far hasn’t worked out very well. His lack of progress has been amplified by the fact the DT recruiting was light on numbers past few classes.

UW really wanted him. They were one of two schools to get an official. Probably wouldn't have seen the field in Madison, given the wealth of talent at the LB positions.

Really? Seemingly every other school completely pulled the plug on him. I assumed there were additional academic issues. I was beginning to think he might end up in the MAC

Michigan has his HS head coach coaching on their defense. They didn't really make a run either. Kinda shocking how his transfer played out. Either his grades are a mess at Penn State, he's got off-field problems we don't know about, and/or he's got a very bad rep as a guy who doesn't work hard or is a locker-room problem.

Either his grades are a mess at Penn State, he's got off-field problems we don't know about, and/or he's got a very bad rep as a guy who doesn't work hard or is a locker-room problem.
We’ll take him. Go make tackles, kid.

WVU Safety Tykee Smith enters the portal. HUGE blow for the Mountaineers. Smith is an excellent safety and was a key part of one of the nation’s best defenses.
This comes just a few weeks after projected starting CB Dreshun Miller entered the portal. Bums me out.

Former 4* OLB Itayvion Brown, the 2nd highest rated member of Minnesota's 2020 class, transfers to MSU, because, I guess?
i dont know the truth but speculation is there was some off field issues that did not fit in with the Culture Fleck has.
I do know Tank was pretty good when given a chance last season in a weird season where COVID was a challenge every week with guys being out or in etc.
if this move makes Tank make better decisions then he will be a great addition for MSU, he has the skills

The rumors are that he wasn't taking academics very seriously, and that while he wasn't academically ineligible, there were some concerns there.

Michigan WR/KR Giles Jackson enters the portal. I'm kinda pissed at Jim about this one. Jackson is dynamic with the football in his hands and is a legit 4.35-4.4 kid.

Fifth-year Nebraska tight end Kurt Rafdal has entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal HuskerOnline has confirmed.
The Indiana native saw just 15 snaps at tight end in 2020, after seeing 58 in 2019 and 162 in 2018.
Rafdal found himself in a very crowded tight end room at NU this spring, as the Huskers returned their top two players from a year ago in Austin Allen and Travis Vokolek, and they added the nation's top-ranked high school tight end in Thomas Fidone, along with Norris product James Carnie this spring.
With the extra COVID year, Rafdal would still have two years of eligibility remaining for both 2021 and 2022.
In three seasons at Nebraska, Rafdal saw action in 26 games and caught six passes for 77 yards.

Huh. Weird.
Granted he didn't seem to be a participant that I recall in any Purdue basketball activities that I saw...
He also only appeared in 3 games, and had 1 rec for 15 yards on the season. Maybe he thought he wasn't getting enough work at WR either?
Maybe Brohm told him he's have better luck if he moved to TE? IIRC he was being projected as a TE tweener and wanted to play WR instead. Purdue brought him in as a WR when other schools were planning to make him switch. Maybe Brohm told him he has no future at WR at Purdue and wanted him to play TE, and he didn't like that?
Or maybe he just wanted to be closer to home...
Will be interested to see if we ever hear the back story on this one.
-
Or why Izzo changed his mind? Maybe he's seeing the year to year nature of college basketball going forward, and rather than having to commit to a kid for 4 years, he just has to build the best possible roster for next year, which is short on good rebounding wings?
Because by all accounts MSU also sees him as a tight end, and always has.
His dad is a Michigan native, who has coached at 4 of the 5 in state mid majors, and is currently an assistant at Missouri, but had been mentioned has a replacement on the basketball staff for Fife. So maybe the chance to be with his dad? But I'm pretty sure Missouri recruited him too, so he could have already had that if he wanted it

Damn,just saw Mdot's post on Giles Jackson,that kid had another gear.WTH is going on up there

And seems now like he may have "committed" to MSU without an offer, and is now just out there.
Seems like he's following the Nojel Eastern plan to transfer out of Purdue?

I thought football's portal was bad, basketball's is a joke. It's insane. Florida's starting 5 next year could all be new transfers.

Rutgers transfer quarterback Artur Sitkowski is headed to Illinois.
He announced that news on his Twitter account Monday evening.
-
From Rutgers to Illinois. Wow. He must be good.
-
Sitkowski was at Rutgers for three seasons before opting for the transfer portal. Over that three year career with the Scarlet Knights, he completed 54.4 percent of his passes for 2,031 yards.
New coach Bret Bielema is installing a new scheme this offseason, but Brandon Peters and Isaiah Williams certainly have a head start in learning the offense.
Peters led all Illini quarterbacks in pass attempts during the spring game last week. He completed 12-of-18 passes for 291 yards and a touchdown. Williams completed 5-of-14 passes for 77 yards and a touchdown.
Illinois hosts Rutgers on Oct. 30.

One of Nebraska’s wide receivers entered the transfer portal on Saturday morning, as Demariyon Houston announced he was entering the transfer portal.
“I want to begin by saying thank you to the Nebraska football coaching staff for giving me the opportunity to play at a great school with rich traditions,” Houston posted to social media. “To my professors, thank you for providing me with a great educational opportunity. To the Husker friends, family and fans, thank you for always supporting me. Unfortunately things have not transpired how I intended, therefore I am now looking for a new place to call home and officially entering the Transfer Portal.”

The 6-foot, 185-pound Houston was part of Nebraska’s 2019 recruiting class, but never appeared in a game as a Husker. Because of Covid seasons, Houston will be a third-year redshirt freshman next season.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- The Indiana Hoosiers are beefing up their roster with more veteran help.
Defensive lineman Jaren Handy has joined the program after playing 14 games with Auburn over the past two seasons, Indiana coach Tom Allen said Monday. On Sunday, former Southern California running back Stephen Carr tweeted that he would be joining the Hoosiers next season.
Both were considered top 100 recruits coming out of high school and both could make an immediate impact -- just like the other five transfers Allen has attracted since the end of last season, Indiana's best in decades.

Louisville quarterback Luke McCaffrey is going back into the transfer portal.
The Nebraska transfer, who just recently arrived on campus after committing in February, is leaving the Cardinals coach Scott Satterfield said on the radio this morning with Drew Deener.
McCaffrey, the younger brother of Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey, was important depth at quarterback for a room that lacked it.
-
Idiot.
He thought he'd go there and start, despite UL's starting QB being the strength of the team.
-
he might as well swallow his pride and go back to Lincoln
or go play for his father with his brother

Luke McCaffrey is off to the third school of his college football career. After leaving Louisville in early June, McCaffrey has a new destination.
The former four-star quarterback is off to Rice, according to Sam Khan Jr. of The Athletic. McCaffrey originally began at Nebraska before transferring to Louisville back in March.
Now, he has another fresh start at Rice.

I don't know this for sure, obviously, but I think Mack brought in an "intensity" in practice the players may not have been used to. Some of them probably stuck it out a year or so and figured they weren't cut out for it.

Not official, but reports out that former five star linebacker from USC Palaie Gaoteote V is enrolled at OSU. Was rated the tenth best prospect in the portal by 247 last time I looked. Don't know a ton about him other than he has dealt with injuries in each of his three seasons at USC.

Well if he's healthy and can contribute,it is a position of need

His younger brother flipped from USC to MSU, and was I think MSU's highest rated recruit. There was some early speculation his brother would follow him, but one of our insiders reported back in May, he seemed pretty locked into OSU.

Of the 480 Power Five scholarship players 247Sports studied from the 2019-20 cycle, only 26.5% of them stayed as a scholarship player on a P-5 roster. Another 26.3% signed with a G-5 program. Overall, 47.2% of P-5 scholarship athletes went to the FCS, junior college ranks or did not find a landing spot. Among the 826 FBS scholarship players 247Sports examined, only 37.8% stayed on the FBS level.

For those who like to say, "Pics or it didn't happen?" The Huskers have pics.
Tyreke Johnson, the former five-star defensive back from Ohio State who committed to the Nebraska program earlier this month, is getting busy in the Husker weight room along with his new teammates.
The Huskers made it social media official, one could say, by including him in photos along with newcomers like fellow defensive back Malik Williams, and wide receivers Latrell Neville and Kamonte Grimes.

The Illinois Fighting Illini football program has taken some massive hits in the last 24 hours. Redshirt freshman offensive lineman Blaise Sparks entered his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal on Tuesday morning, becoming the sixth Illinois player to hit the portal in the last 24 hours.
Sparks followed offensive lineman Brevyn Jones, defensive lineman Anthony Shipton, wide receiver James Frenchie, defensive lineman Tre'von Riggins and running back/wide receiver Kyron Cumby as Illinois players to hit the portal. All players were three-star prospects in the class.
Per Jeremy Werner of Illini Inquirer on the 247Sports network, Bielema pointed out that no players had asked to transfer after spring football concluded. But now that more time has passed since the end of spring ball, things have changed. Players have until this Thursday, July 1, to hit the portal and receive immediate eligibility this year.

Sounds like 2B's is having some tough meetings with the players.

Nebraska's football team added another transfer wide receiver to its program this summer.
A NU official confirmed Tuesday morning former Northern Arizona receiver Chancellor Brewington has joined the Huskers' program.
The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Brewington, a three-star recruit in the 2017 class, is a fifth-year junior. He caught 31 passes for 396 yards and two touchdowns as a true freshman, then caught 23 passes for 246 yards and a TD in 2018. He redshirted in 2019 because of an injury. NAU didn't play in fall 2020 because of COVID restrictions. Brewington then missed the 2021 season, according to his Northern Arizona bio, because of an injury.
Brewington is a former high school teammate of current Husker Javin Wright. Both attended Chandler (Arizona) Hamilton High School.

He sounds like a villain from an 80s college comedy

I just hope I remember his name after the season
because he caught a few balls

The Huskers have also added Kyan Brumfield to the program as a walk-on defensive back, an NU official confirmed.
The 6-foot, 185-pound Brumfield was previously at Texas Tech, where he appeared in six games last year, mostly on special teams. Prior to that he was at Colgate, where he played in 17 games and earned his undergraduate degree in just three years, allowing him to join the Red Raiders last year as a grad transfer.
Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Brumfield is now a redshirt junior.

Florida State redshirt freshman quarterback Chubba Purdy has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, multiple sources indicate. Purdy was not present at FSU's two most recent practices. He shared a message via a tweet after news of his entering the transfer portal became public.

"After careful consideration and a discussion with my family I will be moving on towards new beginnings. With that said I will be entering the transfer portal. Thank you and God Bless."
