PODCAST: Return of the Portal ft. D$
Comments (24)
For my early morning commute!
We can have a whole new thread on this nugget alone…
Rumph had to try and recruit kids to clown town. Tough shake for his first go as a college coach.

Great early morning listen hear on the west coast fellas.
Seems like he’s in a way better place with Mario at helm. Maybe he just didn’t have the right team around him???
D$…..would the WR target be more, just as, or slightly less impactful than Messidor?
If we ranked portal guys 1-10….and Messidor is a 9….sounds like the WR could be a 9, too.
LFG

Comparison, I give Ladson a 6 as a “could contribute” type value.
Messidor as a 9 is “could be best player on that side of ball” value.

Ladson was disappointing for us fans so I am sure the coaching staff was a little taken aback at his JAG performance during Spring. I know some of the "I told you so" posters will come and gloat but I figured buddy would at least prevent Mario from having to waste a spot on another portal WR but he couldnt even do that! Smh.
Messidor, Jackson, Agande and LT as your "core" front 4 basically completely changes the game for us. And thats not even getting greedy and hoping Coleman jumps back onboard. My goodness. The front 4 and the back 4 are completely solidified. Now just need to work on the LB unit and Steele finally has something to work with!

Great work as always. You got me fired up for the rest of the day. Looking for that wide receiver number one next!
Rumph looks to have a whole different persona now. He actually looks happy….

LB play may be much improved by default with expert coaching. Can’t believe we’ve gone from Mandy and Pakte to Steele and Strong. Just the sound of names is infinitely more bada$s. Lol.

The question would be how they could be taken back if they were. He appears to have been an overrated JAG so far in his college career waiting, waiting, waiting for the potential to meet the field. More to come on this dude! We shall see.
Good. Glad for him. Glad for us.
I wonder why..

The latest podcasts have been way better than the past. Nice work.
I dont think they were expecting him to live up to that 5* ranking. But at least be serviceable enough to not need yet another portal WR. This guy is basically making us go back to the drawing board. (not just him. A few kids in that room havent stepped up so dont want to make it seem like its all Ladson's fault). That said, who knows. Doesnt look like much is in the portal anyway at WR....yet. 72hrs will tell us all we need to know.
I’m not giving up on Ladson just yet, although we all saw how unimpressive he was leading up to/during the Spring Game. Bringing in another established, yet much more proven and effective WR will undoubtedly signal to him that Ladson’s arrival did not mean he was walking into a starting job. Hopefully he works his tail off this summer and starts developing a connection with TVD.
He has traits, it’s just about putting it together…and time is certainly running out.
A signal to all the receivers really! Love it!
