Koi Perich is a NFL talent who will play one more year, get drafted afterwards and make a ****load of money. These kinds of players with past, very successful ties to your coaching staff, don't just show up at your doorstep.

I'm fairly certain he'll receive money we're not ready to spend at that position. I could make the same argument for our D-Line and why we're chasing Wilson.

I didn't think it was even the slightest bit possible that Toure could get an extra year. His first game was in 2019. He's been in a college football program for 7 years, played in 5 seasons, played >9 games in 4 seasons. He'll be 24 years old tomorrow.

The other part that people don’t talk about enough is retaining players.

We have to pay up to keep many of our current players. So it’s not always about new acquisitions.

Not just pay, but show them there is going to be an opp for them to play.

We literally just had a TE on campus that we have a very good chance of signing. The staff chose not to match Texas on the Pitt kid and they are bringing Toure back. I don't think the staff is even pursuing a center. Also, Thorton will most likely fill the role of Nickel. Things look good at the moment for Carter and Wilson

Yeah that's cope bro lmao.
Lb has been the worst unit on this defense.
TE has been the worst unit on offense

Today we have Zero additions. And there are zero prospective PROVEN players with any production we are going for at either. And we know we TRIED to get top lbs to visit. We got Bodied there period.

We completely ignored nickel when it was deep. We dragged our feet at QB. The Only Olineman we are after is an OT who has 2 years of bad film. And whole you say we likely land a top DLineman, we haven't yet.

You'd have to be smoking crack to think this was a good portal period for us. There was a LOT of talent available to actually continue upgrading this roster. We didn't get pretty much any of them. We went pretty cheap and slow.

Staff needs to pull a rabbit out of a hat at QB now. Seems like they are 100% reliant on Ty Simpson

How is it so hard for you to understand we already have our Nickel accounted for lol. You say the LB core is the worst unit on the defense, but it's been really solid this season. Heatherman knows what we have in that room. Our center is already on the team as well. We will have Gilbert and hopefully the Georgia kid as our two TE's. Add Lofton too if you want to categorize him as a TE. You're what I like to call a panican lol

Also, I noticed that you are ignoring our retention. That's by far the most important aspect of this process. It's not secret that the staff was expecting lower numbers in the portal this year

No TE, no Center, No LB, no Nickel...still no Dlineman

And "besides the most important position in sports, how was it not good?" Lmao

You're a walking meltdown

Did they go after a center? No…You really think after 3 consecutive years of adding a portal center, that they wouldn't go after the position if they thought it was a need. CMC and Mirabal?

Thornton is obviously in the mix at nickel

And last I checked we are after some DL.

You're literally trippin.

They have a plan at nickel, which involves someone who has zero production there.

They got decent production out of LB and have guys returning? Ok, yet they still tried to get the top portal LBs to visit and failed. They better have Wiley and Bobby Washington developed

Wow we will have Gilbert and the UGA kid... Who are unproven like I said.

The portal is for adding proven upgrades. We got how many? A good WR, a Good Safety, and a solid WR.. that's all we have added. How on earth can you spin that as good enough so far? Certainly a risky *** bet we are making that we will add quality late in the portal at minimum. And QB is by far our biggest need and we missed on everyone lol

Oh and who knows what else we lose after the game lol.

Ok Koi will need you to get off his **** at some point so he can take a **** just fyi
 
As of yesterday, Damon Wilson had a offer I would be surprised we would match. I don't feel good about QB and DE right now. We need Carter and another DT. I don't like our LB situation either. Praying for rabbits out of the hat at several positions right now. I am going to focus on the game now.

We will get our QB, DE, DT and our TE. If Bell decides to leave, we will add that OT. I'm not really sure where you got the assumption that this was going to be a big portal haul lol. Time for you to take a seat and let the staff do their jobs. You complain every single cycle, and they continue to prove you wrong

I know everybody is asking about quarterback and the offense, but I'll post that breakown later today when the dust settles a bit. Let's start with our Portal efforts the defensive side of the ball.

- The key name to know on defense is Missouri DE Damon Wilson. The former five star from Venice, Florida is the best defensive player in the Portal, and Miami is zeroing in on him. They are looking for bigger defensive ends to replace Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor.

So Herring is or isn't an option at DE @DMoney ?
DMoney said:
- Linebacker received a big boost with the expected return of Mo Toure, who is playing his best football in the playoffs. He continues to get healthier and faster. They are continuing to look for linebackers, but my sense is that they will look to their existing roster for most of the production. Don't sleep on Kamal Bonner, who fell behind due to injury but has been coming on in practice.

The Toure thing is just weird…But I guess welcome. He's playing really well.

Thornton has <200 career snaps at Nickel. And I think you're assuming the plan is him at Nickel. I think the plan much more likely is Poyser or one of the young guys.

And no I'm not melting down. I'm accurately assessing that we completely missed at the most important position in sports. And landed no preview targets that could have significant upgraded out talent level.

I will give positive portal grades at DLineman when we actually add one...

It's clear he is at least going to get a shot there

And it's ok to not have a ton of snaps returning at every position…You don't think they looked at a lot of current roster guys when K.Scott wasn't practicing for a month? Between Poyser, Fitz (I prefer him at safety but he's played plenty in the slot this year), Wallace, the redshirt frosh, the incoming frosh, and Thornton. I trust them to come up with a good player there.

No you're melting down. You are canesinsight.com renowned for these meltdowns. You are basically a broad.
