Transfer Portal Entries Thread (1st Week of December)

Recommended Posts

Couple of interesting portal notes from today -

Malachi Nelson, 5 star OU-USC-Boise State QB, has committed to .... UTEP? (we'll likely face him next year, as we play UTEP)

Jaden Rahsada, 5 star UF-ASU-UGA QB, has entered the portal.

Some of these kids are getting really terrible counsel.

Agyie Hall to Sacramento st to play with…. Brennan Marion. Cat’s got 9 lives for sure. 

I forgot he was up for a HC job, wasn't sure if he got it. Figured he might try his hand at going to Purdue with Odom and leap frog as being the OC there.

Sounds like Marvin Jones to Oklahoma. 
 

 

That is a loss, but not a huge one, imo. We got some dudes at the Edge position. Depending on if Moore comes back next year, it could hurt a little more. But I think Burke has more than earned more snaps than he's been getting. Hopefully Vasek and Umeozulu can come a long, too. Plus I think Jackson finds his way into some play time.

The pick up of Shaw is great for Texas. He was one of the guys that I remember looking through the portal weeks ago, thinking he was a fit for what you guys were talking about size wise/production wise for Texas. Hope some other guys jump in or we'll have to wait until Spring window. 

Would've been great to get the guy who went to Tech, but you can't win every battle.

No, no - every move Rashada made makes perfect sense, assuming you want a LOT of $$ and feel you are so good you shouldn't have to actually, you know, COMPETE to become the starter.

Miami commit for supposedly a $9 million NIL deal, then switched his commitment to Florida for $13.85 million (there is a copy of this contract available on the internet). I mean, who would turn down a 50% raise?  Not me.  Smart move.

Florida - oops, they didn't actually have that much NIL money in petty cash so when the first payment became due (I think it was $250,000 in December but could be wrong - it's in the contract) and the check didn't even arrive, much less clear, he backed out just before class started.  Can't blame him, no pay no play, right?

Arizona State - like thousands of California kids who couldn't get in to USC or UCLA this was his 'safety school' (looking at you Lori Laughlin's daughters), in part because his dad had played there.  Competed for the starting job as a freshman and actually played a few games before injury (I'm guessing the NIL was at most 5% of the Florida offer but just play well and get a bigger payday and maybe a Heisman somewhere else, like Jayden Daniels).  He had mediocre numbers (54% completion, 4 TD, 3 INT) as a frosh but the future looked open until ASU brought in Michigan State transfer Sam Leavitt to compete for the QB job.  COMPETE? With low pay already?  So he bailed on them and went to mighty Georgia, where he would sit and watch behind Carson Beck for a year.

Georgia - well, he was only 4th string at Georgia and I can't find any stats for him.  Then Gunner Stockton looked OK and UGA is bringing in a 4* recruit from Ohio, so he's off to hopefully greener pastures.

Apparently the goal is to strike it rich with NIL but so far he hasn't shown enough talent or patience to stick it out anywhere.  Will be interesting to see where he lands next.
