Transfer p[r

[Buzzmaster]

What are y'alls thoughts on the transfer portal. My thoughts are we should not use it for offensive linemen. The best offensive lines are the ones that play together for multiple seasons together. Wide receivers, running backs, defensive players are fair game. Not a big fan of QB's either but it is what it is. Just my thoughts. What are y'alls?

Big time QB's want to be guaranteed they will start. DL and OL are where the big needs are. We will need to look at LB's. Ace was a great contributor this year. If McCollum does leave we should look at WR. Also a proven TE. The last one we had transfer in was average at best. A punter might be worth getting.

a starting quality LB

A pass rushing DE or two

and we need WR’s period, aside from McCollum that position has been extremely lacking in production

maybe a punter?

If we get a solid OL who wants to come in here and help us out, then we should take him.
Cochran was our best OL the year he spent here after transferring from Vandy, and Quick has been a plus for us this past season.

The problem is that is an exception. We only had 1 returning starting linemen To build on. People are quick to blame CBK for something he had literally very little control over the line because of lack of ability to build on.

two of our 5 starting O line were starters. How is that a problem or an exception? Until we recruit a lot of high quality O linemen bring in a couple every year.

Also what makes you think we won't lose an O lineman to the Portal?

A monstrosity of a tight end please. Imo, they have been the least valuable position group for the past 4 years

Or last 14 years, depending on how far back you want to go.

Shoot, I remember complaining under Gailey about (a) not throwing to the TE and (b) not covering the other team's TE ("oh, wow, you're allowed to throw to them!?!")

Ze’Vian Capers, a high 4️ receiver that was recruited hard in 2019-20 and ended up at Auburn, was one of their first to announce his portal intentions this fall. Did not rack up a lot of playing time there.

A native from north metro Atlanta, wonder if there’s any interest in him?

If my memory is right, we were one of his finalist out of high school. Perhaps we'd still be on his radar this time around.
