Cyrus Moss in the portal

In fairness it’s still early for some, but…

High School guys

Skinner - no longer with the team
Moss - no longer with the team
Cooper - success
Kelly - regressed sophomore season, ended up getting hurt and now in jeopardy of falling in the depth chart. Still depth at worst

Graves - no longer with the team
Rogers - no longer with the team
Citizen - Hasn’t contributed due to unfortunate circumstances and rumored to hit the portal
Moten - Depth piece/hasn’t played much

Wes - developed into “starter” (split reps at times) but ups and downs this year, possibly rumored to hit portal if recruited over

J. Brown - relative non-factor and is considered to be potentially portal bound after the upcoming bowl game

M. Williams - depth / hardly plays, might get recruited over
J. Harris - depth, hope is that he’s ready next year

McCoy - depth but looks promising and should be ready to potentially start next season

Horton - minimal contributor and a portal candidate

C. Young - starter and important addition

Portal guys
Ladson - gone and was a bust
Moultrie - gone, non-factor
D. Jackson - transferred to FSU
Mesidor - injury prone, hope is he can stay healthy next season
Agude - gone, meh contributor
Denis - Atrocious
Lichtenstein - relative non-factor
Sagapolu - small and borderline unplayable
Johnson - gone, average contributor
Parrish - some success but battled injuries and is now rumored to hit the portal

He didn’t have a lot of time with the HS guys, but we can’t have this magnitude of busts or underachievers going forward if he’s roster-building, especially when it relates to the blue-chips (Moss, Kelly, Citizen, Skinner, Horton, Wes, Graves, Rogers).

Part of the reason we’re having this massive overhaul right now is because of the lack of impact-players from this class.
Yeah not making excuses for Mario but he had to do too much when he got here

Manny had abandoned this recruiting class and his WOATness when it comes to recruiting is well documented

But to your point we also could have done a better job in the portal to make up for it

But those days are way behind us hopefully

For those saying this was a bad eval by Mario are forgetting that he had offers to every major school including USC, Bama, Oregon and ND. The scouting services all had him in the top 100 too.
