re: Portal Comings and Goings

Yup. We have that stud edge from Purdue coming in tomorrow too.

Nice to have a coach being aggressive in the portal

Hopefully this was a pre-requisite in the hiring process. And that the school's collectives have seen the value in being major players for top transfers.

Whatever the equivalent of signing of the Stanford baseball transfer needs to happen for football, too. Perhaps the edge guy from Purdue could be a mini-version of that.

I cant say I'm a fan of bringing him back. I keep seeing people say its "low risk", bring him in on a very short leash and hope he turns it around, so the upside is still there.

You dont knowingly bring a cancer back into your locker room.

And I think people are still getting hung up on that he was a 5 star high school athlete, but not all 5 stars pan out. He didnt exactly tear it up in his half a year with us, and didnt look great in the very limited time he played at LSU. I know we need depth at DB bad, but I'm not sure this is the best way to address it.

Put me in the camp of not wanting Harris, it is mind boggling they would take him back given the issues we heard about him. Dude needs to go to JUCO to get his crap together.

Nic Scourton Fong’d to A&M today.

I've seen the following, Deuce Harmon to SMU and Jordan Anthony to Aransas.

Elko tweeted out twice today with his "Gig Em! *thumbs up* *lock* JFF Gif"

I think he's about to make some serious portal waves.
