    Those examples aren’t apples to apples. Murray and Baker sat out a year. Hurts was a grad transfer. Hurts was pretty much guaranteed to start. That’s pretty much what I’m saying though. Choose the guaranteed starters rather than I hope they are upgrades. The good portal guys expect to start.

    Then if you keep bringing guys on and relegate them to 3rd team, then I’d assume much of that would dry up.

    I will take Caleb williams starting  over any QB on UGA roster next year.

    I also agree that you need to develop your roster before picking up and playing JAGs from the portal.

    Some things to keep in mind.

    Using Darrion Dunn as an example. Younger guys like Barron and Crawford lost practice and game reps in part due to him. Our investment in Dunn had a moderate benefit at best. That was year 1. Subsequent years may be a net negative.

    Some of our guys were likely a step slower at times due to the new system. So guys who are “potential” upgrades are starting over too. Whether people like it or not, the guys in the system now, if willing to work hard, will improve so portal guys should be definitive upgrades. Take Morris and Gray at OU. Did OU end up in better shape by bringing on two backups and pushing the future down the depth chart?

    And our portal adds for last year? I’m not sure we were any better with them. Culture maybe. I’d also assume if you invest heavily in the portal that if those dudes don’t get significant playing time that becomes known for future guys.

    Personally I don’t want a program that is too portal dependent. Our approach to Oline was correct in my opinion. Maybe we got lucky with coaching moves and NIL timing, but it did work out.

     

     

    That’s on the coaches for playing jags from the portal over young players with potential.  Caleb Williams has potential to become a kyler Murray, hurts, and Mayfield.   They were all transfers too.

    When new coaches like Sark and Riley need QBs in the portal in year 1 or 2, I understand. They inherited QBs who suck or don’t fit their scheme or don’t want to play for someone they didn’t commit to. 

    When Kirby Smart goes after a QB after 6 seasons at Jawja, I don’t get how they don’t see it as a red flag that he can’t assess, recruit and develop QBs himself. Kids just want to win, but Fields knew UGA was not going to turn him into a high draft pick. 

    If you see a potential upgrade in the portal, you should at least try.  However, I agree that Kirby is not known to be a qb whisperer.

     Wat does this mean???  In the limited Snaps Crawford played he looked really good. . I’m not crowning him the starter but If it came down to it and it was out of Jamison and Crawford I’d start Crawford 

    You said it would be negligent if Crawford doesn’t play more next year.  We heard this story before with Collins, Jamison, Josh Thompson, etc.  We need to turn most of these guys into solid starters or all conference players.

    Neyor writeup from Tennessee 247

      Hide contents

    Isaiah Neyor picked up scholarship offers from nine schools within a span of less than 36 hours after announcing Dec. 22 that he was entering the NCAA transfer portal, and he now holds offers from 15 programs. Less than two weeks later, he already has set his sights on three of them.

    Neyor, a redshirt sophomore wide receiver who spent the past three seasons at Wyoming, said he’s scheduled to take official visits to USC, Texas and Tennessee over the next three weeks. He’s set to travel to USC on Tuesday for his official visit with the Trojans before visiting home-state school Texas the weekend of Jan. 14, and the Vols are set to host him on his final visit the weekend of Jan. 21.

    While the 6-foot-3, 210-pound Neyor isn’t completely closing the door on other schools, he said Monday night that “those are the top three as of right now.” And he doesn’t expect to change his mind about visiting USC, Texas and Tennessee.

    “Those are pretty much locked in right now,” he told GoVols247. “I’m locked in with those three schools.”

    Neyor, who caught 44 passes for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns this season, said the Vols’ fast-paced, high-scoring offense under coach Josh Heupel is one of the main reasons he’s interested in Tennessee. The Vols ranked No. 9 nationally in total offense this season.

    “I like their offense,” Neyor said. “I like the way they’re a fast offense, (that) they get the ball to their playmakers and the head coach’s history with his offense. He’s had a top-five offense in the past couple teams he’s been with, so that alone attracted me to Tennessee. That’s why I like what they’ve got going on.”

    A former two-star prospect from Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas, Neyor said he has never been to Tennessee’s campus. He said he’s “just looking forward to meeting with the coaches” during his official visit to Knoxville” and just seeing what it’s like” there.

    “It’s all about my gut feeling — just to kind of see what the feeling is over there, kind of explore around, talk to some players and just see what it’s like overall,” he said. “The facilities are nice, but that’s not really my top priority right now.”

    For that matter, he’s not focused on where he plays. He was born and raised in Texas, but he said he doesn’t expect the opportunity to return home to be the deciding factor in where he transfers.

    “Location’s not really a factor,” Neyor said. “I’m just, like I said, looking for a system that fits me best, where I can reach my full potential as an athlete, whether it’s in Texas or it’s somewhere all across the country. That’s kind of my plan.”

    Neyor said he has been in contact with Tennessee’s coaches “pretty frequently” over the past two weeks, led by wide receivers coach Kodi Burns, offensive coordinator Alex Golesh and Heupel himself.

    With the Vols looking to replace two of their starting receivers from this season — seniors Velus Jones Jr. and JaVonta Payton — Neyor said they envision him playing opposite redshirt junior wide receiver Cedric Tillman, who was their leading receiver this season. Tillman recently became the first Tennessee player to finish a season with more than 1,000 receiving yards since Justin Hunter in 2012.

    “They’re losing one of their receivers. I think he was behind Cedric Tillman in receptions and yards — I forgot his name — but (they want me) just to go over there and just to kind of take his role and just to do what I can do,” said Neyor, who claims to have been timed at 4.38 seconds in the 40-yard dash.

    “I’m looking forward to that hopefully, potentially, if I do go to Tennessee.”

    He said he decided to take an official visit to USC this week because of “just the history with Lincoln Riley,” the Trojans’ new coach, and “what he’s done with previous players and transfers and people like that.”

    “Just the opportunity that they present over there, I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s like over there,” Neyor said.

    Texas is intriguing to Neyor, he said, because of the opportunity to join quarterback Quinn Ewers — a former five-star prospect who announced last month that he’s transferring from Ohio State to the Longhorns — and wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who caught 62 passes for 981 yards and 12 touchdowns this season as a true freshman.

    “I was born and raised in Texas. It would be nice to play at home,” Neyor said. “But, once again, just looking for the right system.

    “Texas, them getting a good quarterback and them having a good receiver, just to be able to play alongside him, that’s one of the things I was looking into, if I potentially were to go to Texas.”
    Neyor, who plans to decide on a school this month in time to enroll for the start of the spring semester, said he’s simply focused on “catching a lot of footballs and just making more plays” as he continues to weigh his options.

    “I feel like I did a lot this year, or last season,” he said. “But I feel like there’s a lot that was left out on the field, that I could’ve done more to help the team out. So just looking for a team where I can get more opportunities and develop more as a receiver, as an athlete overall. Just looking for that in the next school that I decide to go to.”

  6. Aggies are going all in to win a championship in the next 3 years.  They don’t give a crap about the NCAA or SEC old guards.  
     

    1.  Felt betrayed by SEC for letting UT and OU in

    2.  Capitalize on the bag games to build a big lead on UT and OU

    3.  Toothless NCAA

    4.  Old donors just want to see Fake Army with a national championship before they hit the coffin


    However, history is on our side. They(Jimbo) will fuck it up somehow.
