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

[Em_Jae20]

3rd school for Sims, he's only been here and Nebraska. Griffin was here, Oregon State, and Ole Miss, and is looking for a 4th school.

Those career touchdown to interception numbers are insane. 32 TDs to 35 INTs is ridiculous.

[Northeast Stinger]

Why beat a dead horse though

Which dead horse?

Dead Horse List:

1. Our never having enough good DL.
2. Perpetual need for more in the trenches.
3. Tech alumni not local enough.
4. Limitations of STEM school recruiting.
5. Lack of alumni support.
6. Needing offensive scheme advantage.
7. Lack of AA funds.
8. Discontent with ACC.
9. Who was Tech’s worst FB coach ever?

Facts. Give 'em time. They'll learn we know how to derail and re-rail these things. Or they'll learn to steer around the tangents.

As someone pointed out a while back, those are coach killing stats.

It won’t get him to the NFL, but UCF seems like a place where he could fix that ratio

 

[Buzzforlife]

Tyler Gibson, OL to the Charlotte 49ers.

Tyler Gibson, OL to the Charlotte 49ers.

So Tchio and Gibson, both on the depth chart, to the portal and beyond.

Suppose to be 31 TDs to 29 INTs so his numbers aren't as bad as my math was.

 

[LongforDodd]

Suppose to be 31 TDs to 29 INTs so his numbers aren't as bad as my math was.

Add in fumbles and balls just falling out of his hand while attempting to pass.

KJ Jefferson from Arkansas transferred to UCF. Jefferson has 18 INTs for his entire career along with 67 TDs and nearly 8000 yards passing. Something tells me Sims wouldn't be in the plans at UCF.

That’s crazy. Why?

Is Sims a grad? He’s been in school for 4+ years now.

 

[kg01]

Sniffin' Kiffin burnin' a kid on his way out the door. That man is all cl***.

 

[jojatk]

Is Sims a grad? He’s been in school for 4+ years now.

Yes. He got his degree from Nebraska.

 

[stinger78]

Yes. He got his degree from Nebraska.

Thanks.

Interestingly his QB, Kaidon Salter, is also in the portal. That dude's stats are like a video game (Salter). Passing yards: 2876, Rushing yards: 1089, Passing TDs: 32, Rushing TDs: 12, INTs: 6. I wonder what his price tag is? And no, I wouldn't want him over Haynes King. I'm just curious and also wondering if he and his top receiver, CJ Daniels, end up at the same place.

Tyler Gibson, OL to the Charlotte 49ers.

He wanted to play for a Super Bowl contender.

Product of Chadwell's system probably. If you look at Chadwell's QB at Coastal Carolina, Grayson McCall, he had video game stats too when Chadwell was there, then dropped off quite a lot this year and looked relatively pedestrian. From 77 TD - 8 INT over the previous 3 seasons, down to 10 TD - 6 INT this season under the new coach. This was Salter's 3rd year, in the previous two he was 9 TD - 5 INT passing.

He wasn't their full-time starter either of those two prior years but it's entirely possible his production is because of Chadwell's offense (plus playing against a lower level of competition). He redshirted his first year and then his r-Fr year he split time with another QB most of the season.
