Team Portal Updates

But there does become a point where it becomes untenable.

Let's say Brown, TVD, Garcia, and Matocha leave. And Emory Williams decommits as well. Then you're left scrambling to get multiple portal quarterbacks to come in, without anyone to develop behind them.

Ditto running back. Let's say Cheney, Citizen, and Knighton leave. That gives us just Parrish. We'll need to bring in at least four running backs just to get back to depth. Can we do that? Certainly. Will all four be of quality? Unlikely.

Ditto wide receiver. What if the entire group save Ladsen (who can't transfer) portals out. You need at least 8 wide receivers. We have 2 currently committed, so that leaves us with five to go. Can we get five, quality wide receivers in the portal?

Well, these examples won't happen, so they are pointless in the first place.

The issue we have is that we don't have the competition. Because the 2nd and 3rd stringers aren't pushing for playing time.

If TVD comes back, I would redshirt Brown if he doesn't win the job. Then bring in a portal qb. Go in next year with TVD, Brown, Williams, and portal qb.

No chance Garcia stays.

There is absolutely ZERO chance Brown earns the starting job over a healthy TVD. He would have to have a MASSIVE spring/summer/fall camp and progress at an exponential rate. He would have to become Pat Mahomes over the next 6 months or so.

Lol, what? Did you just propose a scenario where all of our scholarship QBs leave AND we lose our lone QB commit? I stopped reading after that. I hope there was a joke at the end.

Garcia won’t be around for that to happen so nice try

I did, but as a hypothetical.

But after listening to a podcast where Citizen might be one and done, where the other running backs might all leave, is it completely outside of the bounds of reality that TVD transfers, Garcia goes back to the West Coast, Emory decommits, and some School poaches Brown with a sweet NIL deal? That’s a nightmare scenario, with each action independent of the others but the net is a disaster. A nightmare scenario in response to an entire season has been a nightmare scenario.

Zero chance he starts over JG even though they chose JB over him as a true Fr year this season ? There’s a pretty high chance neither starts here next year and it likely only one of them is even here.

He’s nowhere near ready to play qb and everyone knew he was a developmental guy when he arrived , Including brown. No decent program would be calling for him this offseason to come be their starter. Let the kid develop like he was intended, anything else is just selfish.

LOL, no, but after this season’s chain of events all that is left is for a rift to open up next to Hard Rock and for giant kaiju to emerge. And for us to not even have one UM branded jaeger mech to defend the world.

agree. he has heart but needs ALOT of work. his touch is bad. JG should leave, I have seen nothing from him that shows he can carry this team. He's a Lawrence cager type, talks loud carries a small stick. Maybe I will be wrong but not liking what I see.

as far as kids not wanting to play under Mario, Mario has developed alot of kids into NFL players. He might not be a great x and o guy but he can identify and develop talent. hes similar to butch.
