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

[Dinner_Jacket]

All those gentlemen seem a little light for the positions the play.
we have to get larger on the line, edge and at LB.

LFG GO, CALLED IT!

Sounds like Key and staff are really selling the hell out of GT. To sell a product you have to know the product.

“I’m a big athletic mean guy.” Love it!

 

[mtodd30]

I didn’t realize he’s a freshman too, we’ve got some good talent coming up on the O-line after our last few classes

 

[Techster]

I kinda hope we get Mews. He looked explosive on punt returns this year for uGA. Would be a solid back up to Rutherford/Singleton with a similar skill set to those guys.

Seeing what we've done in our 1st season with Faulkner at OC, something tells me we'll be a popular destination for guys on the offensive side of the ball. Provided King stays healthy, next season is setting up for our skill guys to pile up some numbers.

 

[Sarrick]

We are coming into an interesting situation where not a lot of people are leaving. (>20 graduating, 5 in the portal currently) but we have a ton of players coming in with the 2024 class and us being active on the transfer portal. The spots on the roster will become a premium… will be interesting to see how the coaches handle this.

 

[tmhunter52]

How many spots do we have available for HS recruits and portal transfers this cycle?

How many spots do we have available for HS recruits and portal transfers this cycle?

No one knows except for maybe the coaches. Based on numbers it feels like we are already over the 85 scholarship limit. But there could be more heading out not announced yet. It seems we are still in for a few 2024 recruits so it seems like we are also not done either. And I’m sure we are going for more transfer portal people.

 

[MySouthernJacket]

I think we’re about to get this dude!

Turn it blue!

I love that we seem to be adding key pieces in the portal and traditional HS recruiting, while returning most of the key pieces we had this year. But I hate that it’s going to lead to guys who want to be here getting pushed out. Most of them will be better off stepping away from football entirely but retaining their GT scholarship and finishing their degree here. Don’t transfer to some lowly G5 or FCS program where the chances of going pro are even lower and end up with some garbage degree.

I feel sure that more will announce after the bowl and after the spring game

This guy isn't even listed in the 247 transfer portal!

I don’t think we are the kind of program under Key that will make a kid leave if he wants to stay. Obviously they will be told if you want to play then you need to think about going somewhere else…

On3 seems to be more up-to-date than the 247 portal. I noticed a lot of the G-5 schools only have a fraction of their portal players updated on 247. Not sure why that is the case

Thanks! I see that he played a lot of tight end in high school. Very interesting!

This + Faulkner has an in (at least for a little while) with some of those uGA boys who are gonna be sitting on a bench for the next 2-3 years. We should be a favorite spot for those guys to land if we play it right

Does the "official" number of Athletic scholarships really matter anymore these days?

Could we not have 120 guys, 85 on Athletic scholarship, and the other 35 on full scholarships (+ additional perks) funded via the millions from the Competitive Drive and the Athletic Scholarship Fund?
