Possible portal targets

The answer to what the heck are we going to do with 5 QBs, for better or worse, is that a school figures out during the season which ones won’t have a future there and runs one or two out to refresh the room.

Don forget injuries happen. A lot

You really need four QBs to run full practices. Many have five. Alabama had five this year even with an established stater (and likely #1 draft pick). Six is not that uncommon and a few have more.

Don’t like the spacing. Too many kids with no experience. I’ll take a good Grad Transfer
 
Portal window (ability to enter the portal) closes 1/18 and then reopens May 1-15th for under grads. There is no portal entrance window for grads.
 
1st day of classes is Tuesday. So, the current commits will be be known at that time.

Is that more or about the same as the previous staff(s)? Because they're more visible, it seems they cast a wider net.

Well, the transfer portal component which started in 2018* added a whole new dynamic but…

2016 there were 125 known offers
2017 there were 118 known offers
2018 there were 175 known offers*
2019 there were 143 known offers
2020 there were 156 known offers
2021 there were 154 known offers
2022 there were 230 known offers

Apologies because this has been addressed, but I don't recall: how are we making space for these additions? Are the staff asking scholarship players who want to stay to pack their bags? (Can they do that?) Letting them know they might not play in hopes they leave?

I'm excited by the work being done, but the portal is a brutal place, and it's unfortunate to think some of our guys might be shown the door, not find a landing spot, and lose out on an education.

Welcome to FBS football in the new world (tho’ kids have been recruited over and nudged out the door for decades). The Transfer Portal just makes it much more apparent and public.

Mora’s latest follows are WR’s from Memphis and Florida State

We can definitely use them, but we also have an absolute need of depth at the RB and LB positions. There are a good 3 or 4 freshman recruits we can use at WR if necessary - in fact with the 3 portal DB signings I figured that is how the staff is going to use the Frosh athletes, I just don't understand how many more people we can sign it seems like we are over the scholarship limit by a few already.

The answer is yes, a coach can simply tell a scholarship player they are gone and yes, the coach can also tell them they won’t be playing next year and hope they leave. Every coach does the latter. Not every coach does the former.

Anyone know the roster space situation? Seems like we are already over by a bunch.
 
I have us at 92...possible I have a mistake.
 
Based on the class of 2023 January enrollment and the 6 portal names announced yesterday we seem to be at 86 scholarships at this hour. Maybe a name or two enters the portal today (tomorrow is the last day) for this cycle....or maybe I have a mistake (off by one).

The six commitments not on campus for this spring (maybe Plack arrives this week, remains to be seen):

Jarvis Jones (5-4)
Brandon Kelley (5-4)
Toriyon Johnson (5-4)
Oumar Diomande (5-4)
Nadar Chirchi (5-4)
Noah Plack-Tallerico (Grad 1-1)

Should it remain this way we are looking a spring ball session with the notion that at least 6 or 7 dudes will be leaving in May. In other words, spring ball will be a competition to stay or go and I suspect those that are competing to keep their seat are aware.

Are you counting Prince Samuels? Been wondering about his status, wasn't on the fall roster but never saw anything about him leaving the team.

Good catch. I believe he was on the fall roster as I recall seeing his name in the past- but now it’s gone.

Correcting for him puts us at 85 in house today.

Wonder where Prince ends up. So many of these public high school kids from central CT have really struggled with the college transition. It begs a deeper question. Meanwhile kids from public schools from areas of the country with lesser reputations seems to be holding their own.
