Portal intakes

[tmhunter52]

Big Rutherford fan but if you feel threatened by transfers from FIU, where does he think he's going to end up where he doesn't have to compete for playing time?

Loyalty to the school is virtually a thing of the past. It’s all about the Benjamins, baby.

Malik to the portal - that really hurts, maybe a bigger loss than singleton imo

Geeze, I am sick of this. How can you just walk away?

Lik transferring is really a head scratcher to me. I'm absolutely a fan of his, but what exactly is he expecting? Anywhere he goes he'll be starting over - most likely without the parade that ESJ will get. He'll be a complete unknown and will be fighting to get noticed...really odd.

I think he will be back.

IMO a condition of being honored with wearing number 8 should be no transfers allowed....DT stuck it out at Tech, they should too...

Thomas left after his junior year.

You forgot to mention that he left for the first round of the NFL draft.

That wasn't the point. Malik played 3 years. That's the same as DT. The comment was DT stayed, so should MR.

Didn't say I was happy about it. I wasn't happy when DT left with eligibility left either. I understood; but I wasn't happy.

To be fair, the transfer rules weren't the same when BayBay was here. That '09 season might have never happened if this crap was around back then.

We just landed Wake Forest TE.

 

[gtrower]

We recruited him out of HS. I think we were one of his final schools.

We were Swann’s favorite all cycle and Collins put him in the back burner chasing Morris (after he had put Morris on the back burner chasing others). By the time we got back to him we had lost him to Maryland, although I think he ended up at Vandy where he started early IIRC.

I don’t think we need a QB right now but he was one of the all-time mismanaged recruitments that I’ve ever seen. One of the best QB prospects in the SE wanted to commit to a school with (at the time) zero QB pedigree and we essentially said “why don’t you wait a few months while we shop around.”

Neat....we need Defense!

Remember when all we had on the roster were a bunch of A-Backs and nothing else? Nowadays, you aren't playing for the Jackets if you don't play OL or TE (2 QB's and any receivers who used to play at FIU excepted of course).

 

[GTflyer0116]

Seriously how many OL and TEs do we have now? Are half converting to defense??

 

[tomknight]

“ The refrigerator mover “ …….anyone remember who “ the refrigerator “ was ??
5 letter last name . P_ _ _ Y Keep it clean guys !!

He did the super bowl.shuffle with McMahon

That was my thought. If they want playing time, they need to learn how to tackle.

I don’t think we’ve added anyone that would take away from our ability to add to the defensive front. The scholarship limit is now 105.

I used to get the current me tests the day before test date. Back in day they used chemical meme o graph paper to tranfer the test. I worked in basement of Swann bldg where i assembled drafting packets. I would wait for secretary to drop off trash, dumpster dive the test master, get it to sigma nu house where they traded it. Great parties at sigma nu.

Where were you when I needed you?!? And we had some pretty mean parties at the Pike house as well back in the day. Had our own version of the transfer portal with recruiting trips to Bauder and Massey!

 

[78pike]

Note that this says he "plans" to enter the portal. It doesn't say he has done it. So maybe he is here for the bowl game and then again maybe he never even enters the portal. Guess we will see just like all the rest.

Rutherford doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who doubts his ability to beat out the competition. It sounds more like someone backing up a Brinks truck to mom and dad's house. Or Miami getting tired of getting their butts handed to them so why not try to buy him.

Two hours after another WR commits? Not buying it.

You have to ask? I’m in Albany and have had dealings with both the local school system and Albany State. The Hope is a Ponzi scheme for a community like Albany. They give out 3.0’s in high school so the kids can take the money straight to ASU so the school can brag about growth. Meanwhile, the local school system graduates illiterates with 3.0’s so the Hope can be funneled straight to the college. At the end of the process, the student has little marketable skills but the school system and Albany State can point o metrics about graduation rates, GPA’s, Hope, etc. It’s all a joke. Then the local school system hires the college graduates as teachers who are semi-illiterate. It’s why towns like this are simply dying and being totally subsidized by government schemes. For GT students it’s a win though because we save huge money with Hope and graduate with skills to get jobs.
