So who has had a worse Transfer Portal, aggy or the fighting Gundys?

The Texas Longhorns had the worst portal season of anyone in the country and the history of any kind of portal, including door frames and elevators. 

Sincerely,

Bevo, Burnt Orange & White, & Hipphopopatamus.

I don't know who that guy is, but he sounds like a real asshole.

Actually, according to Ian Boyd, that is how your handle is spelled.

Another one.  Looks like they have started the process.

 

 

I'm sure Georgia will emphasize this favorable development to Duce Robinson. 

 

UT staff as UGA players hit the portal

FWIW - the mod on Georgia's On3 site didn't list Adonai Mitchell as one of the players they expect to hit the portal.  Also that Ladd post about entering the draft was apparently fake - though not Ladd's consideration to leave Georgia for the draft.  At this point the mod thinks it more likely than not that Ladd will be back.

Mod also said Georgia is doing their exit interviews with players now and expect all players transferring to be in by the end of the weekend.

*Mod when asked about AD Mitchell said that he had not heard anything about Mitchell wanting to portal or a connection to Texas.  Poster on another site said the 247 mod said a couple weeks ago AD was considering it, but that the expectation now is that he's staying.

Mitchell is from Texas. That’s the Texas connection. Up until the playoffs, he was not digging his time at UGA. He had not only reached out but stated intent to enroll with Texas and an NIL deal, should he have come, was in place.

The playoffs probably changed things, but any Georgia moderators attempting to take the position that there wasn’t something there and there was no reason for something to be there are either 1) as clueless as some of our $9.95ers  or 2) willfully misleading their audience. There’s no 3rd option.

Sure. You know what else has been pretty easy in the past? Hiring an attorney to help you transfer unabated. 100% of the time the NCAA has backed down, and yet not everyone did it and some kids got rejected when they had legit reasons to want to transfer. What I'm getting at is...sure, there will always be work arounds but there's also going to be a massive chunk, dare I say a majority, of stupid kids who don't approach it strategically in advance and do the steps necessary to transfer. 

 

Hiring an attorney is hard for some. Every dipshit loser I’ve ever known from California had it together enough to get their pot card the day they turned 18. I think the mental health deal will be a lot easier than the attorney deal, but tend to agree that some of the simplest of simpletons might struggle with that.

It's not that it's hard, it's that it requires consistent steps. A Pot Card is something tangible that will receive immediate results that you can hold in your hand. 

Having to go to 3-4 visits to a therapist, talk about shit, have it documented, to create a trail, all in advance of MAYBE being able to transfer is something quite a bit more nebulous and uncertain.

Maybe so. I assume there doesn’t need to be any more documentation than a letter from the therapist, and I assume those guys will just sign off, but maybe there will be a coherent process that’s followed.

He said stepping away from coaching in college. Seems like Jim Harbaugh or David Shaw is going to be the next coach of the Denver Broncos, Mason worked under those guys at Stanford. My bet would be DB coach, maybe DC in Denver. He’s made his money and coaching in the NFL has decidedly less bullshit tied to it.

 

That ain't happening

National championship rings have a way of curing homesickness and unhappy thoughts about misuse and/or playing time. It would be amazing if true, but I have to doubt it at this point. 

Doesn't do much for your NFL aspirations.

I feel like I expressed doubt from my end. That said, my point about the situation stands and it may not be nearly as cut and clean as the Georgia folks would hope it would be, even now.

Listen ya stupid sips, when aggy won it all in 1939, they only needed 45 players.

Not possible. I was informed yesterday afternoon on this very board in this very thread that we do not partake in such shady activity and we patiently wait our turn in line sitting criss cross applesauce for a player to enter the portal.

To be clear, there is nothing shady about taking a phone call and having earnest discussions with family or friends who are looking for options for their guy. Reaching out to a guy while on campus and happy is something else altogether.

This is wonderful revisionist fantasy, bud. You've been bitching and moaning about our portal behavior for awhile, meanwhile you literally attempted to separate player retention in the portal from player acquisition, because you're either too dense to see they aren't related or because you KNOW that be inspecting all aspects of our program and roster, we'll look pretty good. Look at how other schools have been ravaged by the portal, and then look at us by comparison. "WAH WAH WAH, JORDAN WHITTINGTON DOESN'T COUNT!!!" 

Texas needed a WR recruit (we still likely need another). And we opened up the pocketbook, and secured the services of a talented, HIGHLY respected locker room and team leader. A WR who has been telling everyone audibly and publicly for a year that he would not be returning to Texas for another year, and he was done with college. Guess what, we secured a WR, and he happens to already know the offense and the QB. And yet somehow we're not doing well enough with the portal! It's fucking stupid horseshit. 
 

"WE NEED AN EXPERIENCED STARTER ON THE OLINE." - Enter Christian Jones. "NO NOT THAT GUY, ANOTHER GUY!"

It's patently absurd. There's been maybe 3-4 actual difference makers enter the fucking portal, at least ones we ever had a shot at, and few of them at any position of need for Texas. If we don't sign another guy with the portal I'm fucking floored at how well Texas has done to keep this roster together. It's goddamn remarkable, and I don't even fucking like Sark.

Can someone check and see if returning players have enrolled for the spring semester? We may have even more good news in regard to KRobinson sticking around. It would be good to confirm it.

Edited to ask, a Mathematics degree is a Bachelor of Arts? Interesting.

This made me laugh and go look at some of my old roommates. 3 of them lasted 1 semester and were gone. Not sure what the common denominator was for them not being able to get it done.

Good for him. I certainly wasn't expecting him to land at a program of that caliber - particularly since LSU has plus athletes and Ovie appeared to be somewhat limited physically while at Texas.
