JessN: A Look Ahead to 2025 Roster Moves :: ADDED - 2024-2025 Portal Tracker

Do I need to go over to the thread about Milroe being a below average QB to get info about any possible portal moves?

Every thread ends up the same these days.

I just read that a ND part time starting guard has entered the portal, but the article says he has a "no contact" message.

I take that to mean his destination was already decided prior to entering the portal.

Is that a safe assumption?

Good luck finding one particular thread ...

It is really going to be impossible to prevent this in today’s CFB. These guys are all connected in far fewer than 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. All it takes is a couple of calls texts to a friend of a friend to gauge the interest at more than one target school if someone has decided they want to make a move. None of that is a direct violation of any “rules”. (If there is such a thing as rules any more)

The better question is what happened when we had the chance to go to OT.

That was just another bad play in a series of bad plays all game long. What about the pick in the end zone when we could have gone up 14-0. And not running when he had plenty of open lanes, and so on and so forth. We lost that game at QB.

Looks like Notre Dame has a couple of O-Lineman headed to the portal. Wonder if we're looking at any of them.

Maybe an O line coach.

Until we have a more stable situation at QB, it's hard to fault any O coach or grouping. the 23 OL was much maligned, but with JC Latham, Seth M and Booker there will be at least three high draft picks. I wouldn't be shocked if Roberts and Proctor are regarded highly next season. 24 might not be quite as talented as 23, but who knows.

The last two seasons did a psych job on us.

Both seasons I do not believe we were ever as bad as some people thought we were.

I don't think we can over-emphasize how detrimental it was to have incompetence at the top of the offense. It trickles down fast!

We also tend to forget the HC (Kalen DeBoer) came out early in the season and publicly said we would only run approximately 10% of his offense this year and the rest of the offense wouldn't be installed until the next offseason. Think about how much that restricts the play-caller. It restricts the number of plays the OC can call, the options for adjustments the OC can go to, and overall puts the guy in a bind if the QB has the number of limitations our QB had. It's like dealing him a hand of crappy cards and then getting upset with him because he lost the hand.

My guess is Sheridan isn't the best OC in the country and NFL teams aren't busting his door down begging for his services. But when you restrict the man's playbook to 10% of the offense, and basically hand the guy a set of 10-15 plays for THE SEASON, what do we really expect?

Completely agree with all that. I'd add that the reason we could only install and run a very small portion of their offense was due to the limitations of the QB. Once they watched the film and when through spring where they tried a lot of things that could not be made to work they already knew the limitations they would be working against.

I really, really, really hope that they'd been doing at least some more broad concept install in the packages/reps that the other QBs were getting in practice.

I keep checking this thread thinking there is news on a transfer...

Duron Carter is coming back!!!!

All I know is that if a OT with good starting experience shows up we need to write some checks

And hope they clear.

I wonder if performance based pay enhancements might not be on the horizon?

They could already be here, nobody knows what these kids are signing.

 

[Tide-one-on]

Did we sign anyone today in FB recruiting? Just got off work

TY! RTR!

I don't think so. I guess the post spring portal will be next. Might have a few more leave, might have a few more come in. I think it's stupid really. I know everybody wants to start but my thought on that is force the issue. Be too good to bench. Don't look for a crappy team bad enough to start you. If you get to your third year and it's not happening then fine, go find a place to play. It's unlikely someone like that has an NFL future so go get what glory you can.
