NCAA Transfer Portal - The process

.. and QB.. with us NC State QB Micah Leon's twitter post about being thankful for the UConn scholly offer after his visit.. Looks more and more like we're going to a see even more changes than anticipated.. I'm all for it though... We gotta get/look better out there now.. not in 3 years.. Might be too late for the current ever changing staff by then...

Yes, there has a rush of twitter connections with Micah Leon - a redshirt sophomore transfer QB at NC State starting about two weeks ago. He's a FL kid with a good 6'5 ish frame to work with. Barring a successful appeal, he wouldnt be eligible to help us in 2019 as he would have to sit a year.

Its not clear what he had for offers coming out of Delray Beach FL HS where he had 1085 passing yards and 555 rushing yards a senior. I'm not positive he was even on scholarship at NC State. This spring he was the buried on the depth chart behind at least four other arms.

Maybe the angle here is that he gives us a back up/protection/insurance for the 2020 and 2021 seasons. If Beaudry wins this starting job this fall, who knows what that means for the current QB roster come the spring of 2020.

According to the NC State forum, he's been a walk-on for them. No HS recruiting presence at all. Not sure I understand this one.

He'll probably end up a TE...

That makes more sense... and, since/if he's currently a walk on, he should be eligible now, no???

THIS is the guy we need... He'd be an immediate impact guy on our DL.. which we desparately need.

For perspective - USF just took on a QB transfer from Gardner Webb with four years of eligibility.

Former 4 star DT from Michigan Ron Johnson just entered the portal. Graduated and looking to latch on as a Grad Student.. Has 2 years of playing eligibility left... BTW, he's from NJ... Maybe an option for us one could hope? (and not State Univ of NJ)

Interesting. 3 years at the school and only appeared in one game as a freshman against Hawaii.

Couldn't see the field at Michigan, with all of that 4 and 5 star talent across the LOS... BUT, I think he can see time on our DL in a live game... He's learned something in that system.. Enough to help us out right now...AND he's bright.. an added plus...

#2 https://twitter.com/_JCA23 <--WVU cb...no follows back with the staff.

DL:
#1 https://twitter.com/KevRobertson56 <--Has temple offer. good looking player. fullerton juco.

#6 https://twitter.com/colebailey2k <--6'6' kid that could also be a TE.

#2 https://twitter.com/Zuber_7More <--Kstate transfer - no follow backs yet
#3 https://twitter.com/GodsChild1__ <--CT kid in Fullerton CA. Seems disinterested in us. Keeps tooting his horn looking for offers while the staff has connected.
#4 https://twitter.com/DillonSpalding <--WV transfer - no follow backs yet. Looks interested in homestate of VA.
#5 https://twitter.com/darren7wilson <--Juco WR with offers from WMU and WVU among others. So basically WVU pushes Spalding out and makes an offer to Wilson.

RB/WR

I missed this one. So Spalding gets pushed out of WVU (who just accepted a JUCO WR) quickly lands at JMU. The staff jumped on this kid when he entered the portal not very long ago.


Spaulding was a high 3 star back in the 2018 class. Will be eligible to play immediately.

Still looking for another SPLASH transfer before practice starts.. would love for us to nab that JUCO DL from Fullerton College.. and a WR

Ktuck, I figure this would interest you. Edsall says he's in the market for a safety...so perhaps a corner conversion can work.
BREAKING: Bryce Watts enters transfer portal

 

[ktuck911]

would be nice if Watts wasn't a RU lean already...

So interesting watching the player churn in the portal. So Josh Johnson - WR at Iowa State that managed to get some snaps exits to Tulsa and now Iowa State replaces him with a JUCO WR.

I'm only familiar with this because the staff had tagged both players on twitter.

[ktuck911]

Tough to watch this.. Because we (call a spade a spade) sucked so bad, kids are afraid to transfer in here and be the guy that turns the corner for us... a little frustrated.. BUT, shout out to the guys that have taken the lead and were men enough to come here....

Thanks bro... I think you're making fun of me now (ha ha ha)... simply because this young man makes way too much sense to fill a role of the back end of our D makes way too much sense...

Good update on Bryce Watts and Ron Johnson, two transfers the staff is tracking. Watts and Johnson have given the staff follow backs. Watts looks likely to land at Rutty in order to get the hardship waiver.

Rutgers football recruiting update: Could Rutgers land Bryce Watts after his visit? Could a big DL addition be on the way?

 

[Exit 4]

More info I Bryce here. Seems he's unlikely to land at anyplace but Rutty given his home life and pending fatherhood.
