It's easy to get caught up with what we see in the spring, and it's completely fair (and fun!) to peacock and critique what we see, but just a reminder that the fall roster will certainly have a different look. While only a couple of the incoming summer freshmen kids will have an impact, what we see on the field/sideline, assuming we are healthy (please, sweet, tiny, swaddled baby Jesus), could be a remarkable +25~ availability variance from spring. Which also means to make room, it's likely that a few more dudes are going to need to be told they don't have a football future here.

I'm too lazy to count who has been out for the majority of the spring, but estimating its ten guys, and taking a swing at the portal signees, we could be adding:

10 injured players back (estimated)
9 true freshman signees reporting for summer I and II (confirmed)
6 portal additions reporting for summer I and II (estimated)

That's ~25 guys that we don't have on Greentree practicing right now.

I'm really interested to hear/see where we are when fall camp starts.

The sad thing is I just rewatched some games from 2013 and wished we had that kind of talent at WR (and RB but I think we're good enough). Herb, Hurns, Dorsett, and Coley all on the field at the same time. Morris was not a great QB but having that kind of talent makes you look good.

Is there even a playmaker out there in the portal that we could get? I feel like we used up all our portal luck already.

Seems pretty accurate. Losing Citizen would suck and Balom is good depth
One bloke's best guess at some possible departures:

QB - n/a
RB - Citizen
WR - Redding
TE - Mamarelli
OT - McLaughlin, Washington
IOL - Seymore, Rodriguez
DL - Davis
LB - n/a
DB - Balom
Great take, and I concur, losing those two would seemingly suck.

RB- Potential Portal x2
WR- Portal
WR- Potential Portal x2
WR- Ladson
WR- Redding
TE- Arroyo
TE- Mammarelli
OT- McCoy
OT- Nelson
OC- Denis (during season)
OG/OG- Potential portal, non-starter
OL- Kinsler
OL- Tinilau

DE- Mesidor
DE- Harvey
DE- Acheampong
DE/LB- T. Davis
DT- Taylor
DT- JHH
DT- Deen (missed part of spring)
DT- Portal, big body
DT- Horton
LB- Aguero
LB- Pulliam
LB- Bryant
LB- Potential Portal
S- James Williams
S- Portal
CB- Damari Brown
CB- Stafford

Is it though in this day and age? He committed here sight unseen, having never been to campus before.
He’s still rehabbing a very serious injury. Who would take him? And why would he leave before giving it a go when before his injury, he was going to be very much in the mix as a true freshman?

Yeah all good points. I don't agree with it but the smoke is around. Hope he sticks it out.
