Go look at last class and then look at how this portal class finishes. Actions speak louder than words . Theres no way you roll into next season with that group as your only DT’s. I know we’re after multiple guys right now.

different times, different rules, by the way Butch had an eye for talent, and development of talent, that I haven't seen since Butch left.

No doubt. We can't ignore the portal but the roster is more or less full even with this week's confirmed and rumored departures. By the end of this month we will have brought in 60+ HS recruits since Mario arrived. He's assembled talent and now must allow them to showcase why they're here. Just because a position room is young doesn't mean we have to bring in a grad transfer. The numbers are strong at each position because needs have been addressed through 3 recruiting cycles.

Offense (39 players)
QB (3) - Brown, Williams, Anderson
RB (6) - Allen, Citizen, Fletcher, Johnson, Humphrey, Riley
WR (9) - George, Young, Kirk, Horton, Joseph, Washington, Carr, Trader, Robinson
TE (5) - Arroyo, Skinner, Williams, Carver, Lofton
OT (9) - Rivers, Mauigoa, Okunlola, Bell, Kinsler, Tinilau, Plazz, Minaya, Broussard
IOL (7) - Lee, Cooper, McCoy, Rodriguez, Sagapolu, Tripp, Francavilla

Defense (42 players)
DE (8) - Mesidor, Kelly, Moss, Bain, Wayne, Lightfoot, Rudolph, McConathy
DT (9) - Hunte, Gore, Burroughs, Moten, Horton, Achempong, Scott, Jones, Russell
LB (11) - Cloyd, Mauigoa, Smith, Bissainthe, Aguirre, Bryant, Pulliam, Washington, Pickett, Pruitt, Shavers
CB (8) - Porter, Brown, Richard, Freeney, Brown, Stafford, Mack, Frederique
S (6) - Harris, Williams, Spencer, Patterson, Day, Thomas

Specialists (3 players)
SP (3) - Borregales, Joyce, Napper

39 + 42 + 3 = 84 players already on the 2024 roster

Where exactly are all of these portal transfers going to help us, and which of the players posted above is getting their scholarship revoked as a result?

I'd say one less. So, 3. Two starter types and 1 rotational guy.

The key is JHH - hope he comes back.

That makes sense, what about gore and deen? Deen walked on senior day correct?

So from the dline room were losing litchenstein, Deen, Taylor, Chantz williams, J. Harvey, and possibly JHH? am i missing anyone

Deen is gone. Assuming JHH comes back the top 6 at DT is likely:

JHH
Portal transfer
Gore
Moten
Burroughs?
Justin Scott

Then would have Horton, Campbell and Artavius Jones in the mix as well.

I can't imagine Gore would be back for a 6th year but I suppose it's possible. If we land 3-4 DTs in the portal, I'd argue that Gore probably doesn't have a place on this roster. As for the names above, don't forget Acheampong. And, I expect Horton to be above some of those guys in the pecking order. Lots of hope for that kid - expecting a big spring from him. As for Campbell, I have no idea of his eligibility - roster says he's a 5th year senior but I thought I read somewhere where we will have him for one more year. Not sure
