Just saw that Strong is going to Clemson.
Had hoped he would u-turn back here.

In defense, it’s a hard assessment considering A LOT of these kids went through
-Lebby
-Littrell
-JJF (short period of time)
-Now Arbuckle
That’s a short span of time to have that many systems

Not to mention OLine issues/injuries. We even had Jackson Arnold as QB and he sucked.

Not portal, yet personnel related question -

Any reliable rumors out yet regarding Owen Heineken's appeal for another year eligibility?

Nothing yet. I have little faith NCAA commies will give him waiver though

It's iffy fore sure, hinging on the fact he played a different sport but man it would be killer if we got him back for another year!

Interesting

PJ Adebawore entered the portal this morning. Then his name was withdrawn from the portal within minutes. Will be interesting how this shakes out.

Even though the portal closes on Fri the 16th, it can take a few days for all to be registered. So the public may not know the final tallies until 18 Jan, next Sun.

Teams can get players from portal at any time after it closes. But you have to be in it by deadline to transfer for next season games.

Guess PJ took all his money? J/K. Either we couldn’t afford him or he was pushed out. Hate to see it

As of today:

29 Out
14 In

Not counting those who declared for NFL.

I wonder, will teams maybe go with smaller rosters so they can pay existing players more? No need to be so deep especially with some of the recruits who will redshirt then transfer. Risky due to injury years but might allow higher caliber starters and 2nd units.

“I can’t wait to learn this defense to a tee and start destroying people.”

Thomas had 48 tackles, 3.5 TFLs, 1.5 sacks and PBU this season. He was previously at Florida State and Colorado

That makes a lot of sense, OU Guy. Probably 100% spot on
