Portal Thread

[westx]

I am starting this thread to focus on portal activity and separate it from general recruiting. I don’t know if it is a good idea. If yall want to continue using the recruiting thread for portal news that is cool. I can delete this one. Hook’em.

The Ryan Williams portal news is bogus, but this is interesting. I don’t think we need an edge but, still interesting.

Then there is this guy who has played on a different team every single year even going back to high school. I doubt Texas will mess with him even though they’ll be hard up for quality DLs

You never know the whole story - sometimes the coach is telling them to move on. But if it's his decision vs staying and getting a Duke degree very shortsighted. NFL is not even a remote option for him. Get ready for the rest of your life.

Duke went 9-3 and he had a pretty good year.

Maybe he thinks he can level up???

I'm bored, can we get something to eat?
I'm bored, can I play on the ipad?
I'm bored, can I have your phone?
I'm bored, can you put in a movie?
I'm bored, are we almost there yet?

Damnit Bear, just pick a spot and grow some roots buddy

Also rumblings that Blue may hit the portal.

That would not surprise me. His touches have dropped off significantly throughout the year because he can't be trusted to not fumble.

 

[weevilcatch]

For once I am in agreement with Kiffin. The portal opening up before the first playoff game has started is stupid.

I am so sorry to hear this. I was really pulling for Malik and as the season progressed he got better. He can throw the long ball. He had decent stats this year and Duke finished 9/3.

I wonder how much influence his father has on him I've heard he's overbearing. We already knew this but if you think Ewers can't run out of the pocket Murphy ran 19 times for minus 79 yards. Ouch

I wonder if Maalik maybe to Ole Miss. Sark may have put in a good word to his buddy Lane. Dart is a senior afterall

So you're saying compared to Quinn, he's almost Randall Cunningham? When I watch Quinn scramble, I have a hard time believing there is a slower human being on the planet. My Mom is 86 years old and uses a walker about 60% of the time and I swear she could crowd his 40 time.

Apparently Malik is slower.

Incoming/Returning Interior DL in 2025:

Sydir Mitchell: RS Sophomore

Alex January: Sophomore

Melvin Hills: RS Freshman

Justus Terry: Freshman

Myron Charles: Freshman

Josiah Sharma: Freshman

Combined tackles: 10

Combined total snaps: ~10-15/game (starting back half of the year)

We’ll need 3-4 DTs in the portal and then take another 3-4 DTs in the 2026 recruiting cycle.

We need at least one absolute stud. And 2 nice depth pieces. Terry should come in and be a handful right away. Also why I don't understand Bledsoe hitting the portal.

Plus Burke could add 15-20 more pounds and move to the 3tech. His length and strength he could be nasty there.

Aggys are beating us on the transfer portal.
So far, they have 17 wanting to transfer. Texas has 8.

Our portal guys have shown good success finding a place after Texas. How they've done I'm not sure other than a few. From the '22 portal guys there were 3-4 that didn't find a place. Other than that, the last two years all but one in each portal class found places.

Aggies have shown similar success, but with a couple more missing out on places to go after College Station.

That said, Texas had 25 outgoing portal transfers last year, 19 in '23 and 24 in '22. We will have MANY more than 8, you can count on it.

Sydir Mitchell is now in the portal as well.
