I’m sure a lot of guys want to see where else they can get offers and see it as an adventure. So much goes into being happy at college, it could go beyond football too. I know some kids transfer just to leave their GPA behind if they are in trouble academically. I also knew kids that transferred solely because they wanted to go someplace that was easier.
And maybe some of them are tired of playing for a losing program? It has to be tough.
That way they'll be sure they are where they'll be wanted next year.
As for this recruiting class, I think the portal is more important than the HS recruiting class due the potentially limited number of available scholarships and the holes in the roster. It looks like the roster could be very thin at QB as Tyler P will be recovering from an ACL injury, we have never seen Leon, and Jack Zergiotis is a big question mark as he did not perform this year. I would bring in 1 to 2 transfer QBs.
Edsall failed miserably at shoring up OL and LB knowing we had a young line that hadn't played a down in over a year. This is where we need to add experienced plug n play guys. I generally don't like the approach of bringing in P5 benchwarmers or guys rehabbing from injury. Go and get the best from a lower league or Juco team who's hungry to get noticed. If Coach has connections across the country we should be able to do this. I hope DB has worked to streamline the academic eligibility process because we can't afford to have our hands tied.
Fair.
