Yes, I believe two offensive lineman, one defensive line, receiver, and DB.

Transfer out?

Not CJ but the short list will probably be something like this:

Malik Agbo
Connor Stroh
Jaydon Chatman
Connor Robertson(if Cruz passes him up for center)
Aaron Butler
Maybe one of the kickers or punters, since we have 4 on scholarship(not that numbers matter considering we're under 85).
 

Essentially, there are no surprises on your list.

Is this guy better than David Bailey or are his numbers slightly inflated due to the level of competition like Trey Moore's numbers were at UTSA?  Physically he seems SEC ready.

His production is good, but I don't think he's as good as Moore.  I don't think he would ever see the field at Texas unless struck by the injury bug.

I would see that as a game changer for GA - and a corresponding disaster for ASU. He seems that good.

Could be. Doesn't seem like Leavitt is a top level passer. Don't know how accurate the report is. Stockton seems to have a better arm, and he can move. Stockton isn't as slippery as Leavitt, but I can't see that Leavitt is a big overall upgrade. I know Gerry likes Leavitt. Truth is, Leavitt couldn't hardly complete a pass against us. Kirby hasn't exactly been a great evaluator of quarterbacks.

Right down the road in San Marcos. Former All-Sun Belt selection.

This is a position that Sark must address in the spring.

Throw in 110 carries for 453 yards and 5 more touchdowns. 

As a RS Freshmen that is pretty dang good, throw in his pocket presence and mobility he's a really good QB. Hard to judge him off just our game against them because he was missing his top receiver due to injury. 


I don't have much to say about Stockton because he doesn't have enough reps and film to conclude anything.

 There’s going to be a mass migration of players from the non-P2 conferences into the P2 conferences (SEC, Big Ten) this Spring portal cycle.

The Spring portal is unique in that SEC teams can’t poach talent from other SEC teams (lest the player have to sit out the 2025 season), so all the SEC teams looking to plug talent gaps in their rosters will need to look outside the SEC to source those players.  Of course, an SEC team can also poach from a Big Ten school (and vice versa) however the schools in these two conferences that actually care about football also typically have enough deep pockets to ward off fellow NIL suitors (tOSU, Michigan, PSU, Oregon, et al).

So, where is the next level of talented football players that are available to be poached outside the P2?  Well, numerically speaking, it is the ACC and Big12.  These two conferences have more talent per capita on their rosters than G5 schools, and fewer of these schools can compete dollar-for-dollar on NIL deals with the SEC schools (note: there are a few exceptions..Tech, Clemson, Miami, etc).

It’s interesting to me that there are some glaring talent gaps across the rosters of some of the perceived national powers (UGA, Texas, Ohio St, Michigan, Oregon, Tenn) that really need to be addressed in the Spring portal season.  This dynamic, when combined with the timing of the House settlement, is going to set off an orgy of obscene NIL battles got talent.  

I wonder about Texas’ willingness to engage in the upcoming bloodbath.  I support Sark in not wanting to engage in one-time silly NIL deals which may damage the culture and locker room, but I also acknowledge that our competitors will capture talented players that our roster needs to plug gaps (particularly at WR, OL, and TE).  Should be interesting to see this play out.

Leavitt single handedly kept ASU in the game imo.  You also have to consider the talent around him - he was down his 1st receiver, his RB was throwing up, and his O-line was a subpar big 12 group.  Put him behind that Georgia O-line with the weapons they have and he's going to be really dangerous.

The dude’s a baller. I don’t want to face him when he is surrounded by quality talent.

I’d like to see Leavitt without a Skattebo next to him. He’s more a gamer than a refined passer. Which is fine.

Would you rather see him at ASU or GA?

That is the question, CJ.

The last ASU QB (Daniels) to transfer to a SEC school (LSU) won the Heisman, got drafted 2nd overall and led a dog-poop franchise to the playoffs in year one.  

I'll bet Sam would be a lot better at GA than here in Tempe.

Without Skatebo he ain't crap. That's the deal.
