Now that the ‘23 commits have signed I suppose we’ll start seeing more portal guys the staff had on ice make their commitments public.

Unless they pivot on a WR in the portal, I wouldn't expect any other transfers in to be announced until after the bowl cycle. It's not likely that they land the Syracuse safety and no one else is blowing their skirt up, I don't believe. There is plenty of gas left in the tank on the NIL front for the portal, so it's a matter of them needing to be excited about the role a guy can play for them. Holmes makes them instantly better on defense and is a potential future draft pick, so that one didn't require a lot of thought if he was interested.

Again, if Moore truly flakes, then sure, we might see something get done with a WR in the portal. I assume Kyle Parker already signed with LSU, correct?

Correct. Is there anyone in the portal that hasn't been talked about much that we should be pursuing? There are some decent WRs but we need a starter level player to hop in after bowl season. I know we'll take someone after it looking like two straight freshman classes of 2 WRs

Looks like Jahdae and X were the lead on this

Brooks will certainly be in the rotation at corner. Have to think they will still be looking for a starter at safety in the portal, but if nothing sticks, you might be able to live with whoever works best next to Thompson out of Allen, Crawford, and Williams. That’s a group devoid of experience, but not necessarily talent.

Welcome to the 40 young man.

He’s going to be a damn stud. I’m optimistic that he can at least do the same job as Jamison did but hopefully way better. Big pickup!!’Hook em
