I am not sure how Deboer will work out long term but for him to have a chance he needs to have players that buy in to what he wants.

These players jumping ship are part of the reason Saban hung it up. Recruit a player once and still have to recruit them every off season to stay.

For those that do not remember Saban was blasted in the media and a website was dedicated to him about oversigning. He gutted the roster on his arrival.


DeBoer has not had very many transfers since he took over though. In the Spring period, he basically only lost:

1) Two kickers because he signed a kicker who won the Groza last year
2) Some veterans who are near the end of their eligibility, buried in the depth chart
3) The backup center likely to lose out to the Fr. All-American center transfer
4) True freshman early enrollee DB who is not likely to contribute in 2024
5) Walk-ons

But he's gotten a starting left tackle out of the portal, the top kicker in the nation, and a safety the staff seems really high on as a developmental option.

I’m good with a guy that’s never played a snap in college dipping out before he ever does

Sucks, though. I was really looking forward to watching Woodyard.

It looks like all those OSU and ND insiders who were convinced that Keeley would enter the portal were full of crap.

People submitting their papers today for the portal may not be announced for a couple of days.

Players have to submit their papers tonight by 11:59 pm. I believe grad transfers have a another day or so.

Yes, grad transfers get an extra day to enter. Kinda wild since they used to be allowed to enter the portal at any time.

I will definitely blame RammerJammer91 if Keeley goes in the portal

This is bad. Not that Tony has proven to be anything special but there are pretty much scraps available at DB in the portal right now. All the top guys have already committed or enrolled at new schools.

How is it bad when it's been known for a while.

Yeah, I think CKD knew this was coming based upon his most recent comments. Keep in mind, it takes a few days for the NCAA to process the paperwork. There was likely some sort of conversation about wanting to transfer, and I doubt this was out of the blue.

It was just a rumor that he denied until now. With him and Woodyard leaving we are dangerously thin at DB. It's not that Tony specifically is leaving, it's that a player at a position group we were already thin at is leaving. That's bad.
