Look to the Transfer Portal: Discussion thread

Y’all are in denial if you think we don’t have guys visiting/visits lined up. If y’all crave leaks, I suggest you follow another program

Agree with JZ here. I find it hard to believe we are completely inactive in the talent acquisition space in the run up to and opening of portal. It would be gross negligence by a staff with designs on high level competition year-over-year. But the silence does bring some anxiety. The challenge this year is balancing game prep and roster construction.

From pod that Gaby and Lake just put out:

- Take all reporting right now with a grain of salt. Staff being intentional about transfer news not leaking as they prep for game next week in order to minimize distractions.
- Sorsby is #1 QB target and interest is mutual. Texas Tech isn't biggest threat - LSU is.
- Leavitt more than likely winds up at Kentucky due to character concerns. Other top programs passing.
- Names at WR to monitor: Terrell Anderson (NC State), Omarion Miller (Colorado)
- Staff really high on Luka Gilbert. Could add a TE for depth/blocking purposes but won't be big game hunting at the position.
- No obvious options at C in portal just yet. Some talk Ryan Rodriguez gets another year and could be option to start there if that happens.
- Antonio O'Berry (Gardner Webb DE) potentially visiting this weekend. Ohio State also involved.
- Expecting Moten to come back. Still waiting on other names at DT to enter.
- Names at LB - Owen Chambliss (SDSU), Khmori House (UNC), Kobie McKinzie (Oklahoma).
- Nickel/Safety - Sharif Denson (UF), Omar Thornton (BC). Koi Perich will be expensive but obvious ties to Hetherman.

Most of that sounds bad ngl

Sorsby being the top target was always what made the most sense.

TE plan sound absurd.

I'm sure they just arent telling the plan at DLine

Chambliss I like.

Denson being the Scott replacement has sounded crazy to me the entire time.

Why would Sorsby go to LSU in the middle of a rebuild when you need 1 sure thing great year? LSU was garbage, you want to trust Lane will get it all sorted out? Too risky.

We are the best choice.

Yea I'm sure they're sitting on their a$$es and totally ignoring the portal.

So you think these guys go straight into contention just because of Kiffin?

You don’t think the level of talent had a lot to do with Kelly eating **** there?

I think a great QB changes everything. Couple that with so much talent being available in the portal and Kiffin at this point being a pro navigating it as he did at Ole Miss plus the fact that LSU while a mess still has talent and has recruited well leads to them being competitive year 1.
