What would y’all think if Liberty QB Kaidon Salter entered the portal. Would you want him? He’s lighting it up at Liberty.

1350 yards 14/2 58%

350 rush yards 6 TDs

He originally enrolled at Tennessee and was a top 150 player.

We recruited him at one point and stopped. I know at one point he had major off the field concerns. Hopefully he has grown up now

He’s probably better than what we’ve got

Not sure he can even transfer again unless he graduated. One guy I would like to see us go after, if he can graduate early because he just transferred, but Thomas Castellanos at Boston College.

He was allowed a free transfer due to the McDonald’s debacle and Pruitt. I think he can still transfer and not have to sit.

Don’t know much about the BC QB.

I mainly bring him up because of his familiarity with Freeze.

I still can't imagine vandaGriff is going to waste another year at Georgia now that Beck has established himself as clear qb1

Was a guy I was begging us to sign. He ended up going with Gus and UCF. Transferred to BC this year though after redshirting his freshman year. He's basically carrying the BC offense on his shoulders. Good passer, good runner.. Really good playmaker.

I would be ok taking a look at Salter though. He was a pretty highly ranked QB prospect. I assume we hit the portal for a QB again no matter what though.

Just looked it up and you’re right. Thought it had to do with Pruitt.

I’ll pencil him in as a no.

He will definitely be in consideration. Don’t have any clue if he is the answer but that’s true for any portal QB. There is no way we are getting a Caleb Williams/Bo Nix type QB through the portal. Well I say no way but everyone has a price I guess

We were offering big bank last year. Untilwe have an O line and receivers it’ll be tough to pull in the top guys

Boy I was just thinking the same thing. And he has a hand picked Bobo QB behind him, I dont understand that at all. You can bet some feelers have gone out in that direction, just to see what the thoughts are.

Dont worry Geriner will transfer some place where he will play, be in the running for the Heisman and we will be known as the breeding ground for QBs of other teams

Scuttlebutt was we tried to get him last January when it appeared that Mcall wouldn’t work out. Kirby wouldn’t give him a waiver to transfer to another SEC school. So unless he’s a grad transfer it isn’t happening.

I do think they’ll go back to the portal for a QB, RB, and WRs again this year.

Wanted us to push for him last year. Should go after him hard this year.

Think that's only spring transfers. He should be able to transfer after this season.

Don't know about this guy but he's highly ranked from AL and going to... Oregon?

Offensive Lineman - Oregon

There are several reasons we didn’t take him when he tried to commit back in January.

Has some pretty glaring character issues and the staff didn’t believe he was a good fit. (From what I was told)

Correct the staff isn't touching him with a 10 foot pole. Same as Bama and UGA

What? Vandegriff didn’t need a waiver, he gets his one free transfer and you no longer need waivers inside the league.

Not sure who told you that but its BS. He could have entered during the first portal window period and transferred and been immediately eligible….the second window he would have to sit a year since he is an undergrad.

I didn't know about his character issues, but I've seen him play in person and, yeah, he is huge, but he looked incredibly unathletic when I watched him. Maybe he improves with some P5 coaching, but he just seems like a massive project to me.
