With Becks surgery, very low probability he plays anywhere next year.  Baseball players take a long time to recover, and they don't have 250 lb missiles trying to rip the arms out of the sockets. 

I know NFL GM are amongst the biggest kool-aid drinking, dumb asses on the planet, but drafting an injured QB that had already had question marks seems like this is one you don't touch.

Given that reality, transferring to some desperate program for some guaranteed NIL and a chance to rehab in a normal time frame seems like the move.

Didn't Purdy basically have the same thing? He was back for the Niners the following season. Pitchers put much more stress on their elbow than quarterbacks do.

Scuttlebutt from Georgia side is that Ohio State coaxed him into the portal. So this has a similar feel to a few years ago when that Alabama linebacker that Arkansas tampered with still gave us a look, but it was already a done deal. Would love to be wrong though.

 

I can totally see Ryan Day in a pedo van with FREE CANDY written on the side.

At least drive the price up for tOSU a little hopefully

Miami is going to be in for a world of hurt going from Cam Ward to Carson Beck. Ward was the only thing they had going for them this year. Their defense is abysmal, Cristobal is a god awful game manager and now they have an overpaid, overrated QB to go with it. But they're in the ACC so they'll probably still win 8 or 9 games.

They have a lot of talent and an easy enough schedule that they can mask the downgrade in QBs and shitty coaching.

Will Beck even be the starter? I assume he’ll have to win it in fall camp.

Surprising portal approach from the staff so far this year. I did not expect DE, iOL to have as many visitors as WR and more than S as we near the end of this portal window. Quite interesting. I would've though G was pretty set with Hutson, Campbell, and Neto. Then again, clearly run game needs improvement.

Sounds like Oregon and Tenn are the main competition for Pregnon.

Conner is leaving. Campbell has been terrible this year and Hutson and Neto have not been able to start over him for a reason. G is absolutely a need. 

100%. I'd love to improve the IOL.

I'm not sure I agree.

DE: We have great talent at DE, but most of the returning talent will be young/inexperienced. Another SDE would provide for great depth with Sorrell moving on and uncertainty with Moore. You can never have enough experienced, physically matured depth along the lines.

- I expect more numbers at both DT and DE, especially if Moore decides to leave.

IOL: IOL is a needed improvement. This speaks for itself.

WR: Our WR room is young but has a lot of potential. Get Golden or Bond back and they could possibly roll with the room we have. It doesn't sound like the staff is desperate here for just a body or to overpay for limited production.

S: This is up in the air with Taaffe's decision still looming. Same logic applies as WR. They aren't going to overpay. They certainly were after the Purdue safety, though.

There is still the spring window. I'm entirely confident this staff will fill roster needs when they are fully known come season's end and NFL draft intentions have been decided and communicated to all parties. Shit, they can't even focus on full-time recruiting yet. They're still game planning and practicing.

Otherwise, Texas is 4/4 with filling needs/upgrading the roster, thus far.

IMO this is a position that you can NEVER be too deep at. Being able to send wave after wave of really good play here is so taxing on offenses.

$4M?  They have seen him play, right?

 against this schedule? He'll take the L against ND because he is "still learning the system" and then probably roll right through the rest.

Campbell could go pro and Hutson could move to center so a guard makes sense when you factor that in along with performance.

Actual Texas transfer portal news happens, nah fuck that, lets talk about Carson Beck!

Infinitely fucking better than 3 pages of that one time I played against that dude you might've heard of back in junior high.

He basically had Ewers' production this season and will be facing worse defenses, overall. In that conference, it's worth it for Miami.

To be fair, I wouldn't pay Ewers that either.

But honestly, I don't understand the economics of the NIL world.  Not sure how it's "worth it" for Miami.  Their program doesn't make any money.  They only had like $75M in revenue in 2023 (cooking the books to show $0 profit), while Texas had $183M in Revenue and $122M in profits in 2023.  Our profit almost doubled their revenue.

Must be just a couple of ego driven boosters.
