Transfer Portal: Who do we need to target this offseason?

[CuseJacket]

Not a surprise entry to the portal

On the other hand, having a motivated, pissed-off Biggers could be a really good thing.

If I’m lined up against him in the bowl game hearing him mutter to himself about “disrespect” and “gonna prove it” I’d probably near piss myself

 

[MonroeJacket]

Yeah we cant lose Zeek or Horace

Zaylin Wood DT from MTSU

Hoping this isn’t a sign of dissatisfaction from Zeek. Dude has been a decently critical part of our front 7. He’s been great for us and it would be a huge blow to lose him.

I don’t read this as he wants to transfer

I read on X that there are going to a lot of players in the portal that are head scratchers. We have to trust CBK and his staff to make the best evaluations and bring in guys that are good fits that can help continue turning this ship around. I think the did pretty good last year. King, Seither, Scaglione, Jordan Brown, Cooley, Oliver, Moala, White, Lane, Janneh, and Leary all contributed, some moreso than others. A few plug-and-play guys can take this thing from 6-6 to 9-3 or better while we build through recruiting and development.

A lot of our players or just players in general from all schools?

I think just players in general. It was a tweet from a national journalist.

 

[Sarrick]

with the chaos that is about to ensue, it might be worth having the mods create a pinned post with all incoming and outgoing players for GT, lord knows this thread is gonna reach 100 pages with all the upcoming transfers from teams.

We have a few difference makers. We need to add 4-8 more.

LB, DT and DE would be my priorities. You are correct we need at least 4 difference makers. May need an RB as well as we are fairly thin at the RB group.

 

[UgaBlows]

We need someone else to evaluate the LB portal transfers this year

 

[slugboy]

I think—even though Key was an “internal” hire—we were still behind the curve in recruiting last season—both from high school and the portal.
He’s been HC for a year. Let’s see if that was temporary.

 

[roadkill]

Agreed. With the coaching instability last year leading up to Key’s hire, as well as the coaching changes immediately after, we were lucky to hold on to as many players (as well as most of our recruiting class) as we did.
And most of this year I would imagine we were still viewed as a risky school to transfer to until we started putting some good product on the field. I hope both recruits and potential transfers now see us as an up-and-coming team with great opportunities for success.

 

[stinger78]

We don’t need to lose any of Biggers, Lockett, Douse, Kennard, Kelly, Harris, Scott, Collins, or Sylvain. We need for them to stay, mature, and grow, and for 2-3 more who can make a difference to come in.

 

[Papa Foxtrot]

Wonder if he's got the grades?

 

[tmhunter52]

Wonder if he's got the grades?

If we can create a steady stream of UGA understudy 5-stars, it wouldn’t be a bad thing…

 

[alagold]

The lack of a 200 lb running back isn't what made Key kick the field goal. He said the plan in the first was to take points when they were presented.

yep, and he had that plan because he didn't have a sure thing 220 lb back for 1 yd vs that line. lol

 

[LongforDodd]

There is a 4 star DL from ND in the portal, per ESPN.com
