Now that some of the Portal news is out of the bag

[canesbaby]

Timing and anticipation is the name of his game. Both things we need with our passing concepts. That and when he’s protected he’s absolutely surgical. His problem at Maryland was that he never was but when he got time they were as explosive as any offense. Very good at RPO’s as well. Just love his fit

Man, you can't get me excited like this. Too many years of talking up a guy only to have him go somewhere else. Love the eval though as we know he would have a great OL and solid run game to work with here.

We have had contact with Will Howard, Cam Ward and Dillon Gabriel. Dawson visited Howard last week in Kansas. Don’t think we will go after Rogers from Mississippi State.

If Michael Pratt enters the Portal or Taulia Tagavoila gets a 6th year/enters the Portal, I would expect us to have significant interest in both.

I just don't get the Pratt love, guy looks mediocre to me.

 

[MPCane17]

taulia in our offense should be the number 1 target.

I think he’s probably 1B behind Ward.

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

1. Ward
2a. Gabriel
2b. Baby Tua

Drop off

3. Howard

Drop off

Pratt/Rogers

Can you explain / know why Taulia would be granted a waiver? Lots of misinfo being thrown around about his situation so wondering if you knew what his appeal would even be.

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

Now that would surprise me, but it is a quick-read, spread out offense so it’s a solid fit.

Also somewhat budget friendly for a program like UW

 

[Derrick Griffin]

This is NOT me saying I want this player, just curiosity. Were the Malik Murphy rumors just pure speculative?

lol I know right. I like all the guys we’re linked with a fair amount tho. I chose to comment on him off a hunch

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

Of those 5, one is not like the others. But credit to staff for being aggressive because they need to be. Let’s close

Just hope Gabriel doesn't end up at FSU. UM needs him.

It is very confusing if 2020 had Redshirts or not since everyone was given another year.

2019-Bama did not RS
2020-Covid-Soph
2021-Soph
2022-Jr
2023-Sr

Since he did not Redshirt, I do not see how he has another year left.

He started 4 games during the COVID year, so that would be his redshirt making him a 6th year senior this upcoming season

 

[Juanka]

Maybe Kiko can help recruit Ward a little bit.

rogers jumping on the deboer train, smart move

take them OUT of the mix for the other whales and keeps us in it

 

[Problem2]

please Ward or Gabriel

We deserve this

 

[yuhot]

Tua family wants him closer to home.

I believe 2020 was basically Free/Redshirt year for everyone. I believe if he RS in 2019 he would have a 6th year. I need to search another 2019 QB.

Box Nix is out of eligibility and think he was '19 QB.
