re: What Do You Think About Our Portal Additions?
Posted by Robot Santa on 1/17/26 at 11:21 pm to UAClassOf22
I think we really need another experienced OL. Even if it's another small school guy. Whatever configuration we throw out there is going to have a total of like 2500 snaps under their belt and half of them belong to a guy moving up from FCS. There's going to be a lot of growing pains. Maybe too many.

Michigan has offered Delgatty, and Cal Poly played Utah this season. Whittingham is a fantastic coach and saw this guy up close as an opponent, so that's proof enough that he'd be a good pickup.

Just get rid of eligibility limits at this point.
Give it 2-3 more years and we'll be there. They'll argue that if a school will let them enroll in classes they should be eligible and it'll likely be granted by some shithead judge who went to a tiny Northeastern liberal arts college followed by law school at Yale and could not give less of a frick about college athletics.

It was an open secret in Tuscaloosa back then so I doubt they had to work hard to find that information. :lol:

Star Jackson was my neighbor for a year in Atlanta. Dead serious. It was only a couple of years after he had left the program, so I assume he had quit football because he wasn't playing at Tech or anything. He moved in across the hall with a girl I knew from Alabama who was...familiar with a lot of the football team and fricked DJ Hall for coke. He was a moron, and very loud. :lol:

Achilles, so much worse than a knee. He looked really good against Michigan though, and those injuries usually take more like 18-24 months to truly heal so it could be a buy low situation for a player on the upswing coming back from a major injury. Could also be committing money to a guy who is injury prone. As long as the plan isn't to have him get 20 touches a game I'm good with it. I don't think we had a 100 yard game from anyone this season did we?

Like Smothers was enrolled but if you look at any of his social media….its garbage and he was always chasing bags. With that being said…. I don’t blame them. Him and his fam sound like douches though
Which begs the question, why, if you're supposedly focused on getting the right guys into the program, are you offering large sums of our apparently very limited NIL money to people like Smothers and Coleman?

A quick search reveals that he's going to be a 6th year player who has never recorded a sack in his career and didn't really play much at all until last season. So yeah. Maybe he's just dealt with a pile of injuries and is primed for a breakout year. :lol: :drunkards:

So an adequate passblocker and atrocious run blocker. Obviously we have a type.

I’m somewhere in the middle of sunshine pumper, and gloom and boomer: this whole portal thing is another giant loss for us. We can sugar coat it any way we want, there aren’t a lot of silver linings going on with our program right now.
I probably lean more doomer, but this is where I'm at too. I don't know how anyone can spin losing out on all your top targets and starting to comb G-5, FCS, and DII rosters. Getting this portal window right was critical and we have pissed down our own leg.

Lance Heard committed to Kentucky today. So South Carolina and Kentucky can get proven tackles but we cannot.
I think this and missing on another, albeit less proven, guy to fricking Cal of all places kind of illustrates why a "market value" approach to free agency just doesn't work. These guys aren't fricking oranges or gasoline or any other number of uniform commodities with a well defined market rate at any given time. It's more akin to rare cars or trading cards or something like that because each of them is unique. You can't just go a mile down the road to the other portal recruit station where you know it'll be 10 cents less per starting left tackle. Once someone else signs that particular kid, he's gone, and every program is going to value players differently.

Because getting a kid to "commit" without also getting him to sign anything in the current environment is difficult to defend. A public commitment without the accompanying signature is just leverage and anyone with two brain cells to rub together could have predicted he'd pull some shite like this.

5 to play 4.
It's fricking stupid, but it's not going away. CFB has positioned itself as a highly lucrative minor league, and a ton of these guys who are great college players but have little shot at making it in the NFL are basically losing out on 5-8 years of 7 figure earning potential because of inconvenient things like "eligibility" and "pursuing a degree".

He has been, but Philon has played himself into the lottery of what is going to be an unbelievably stacked draft.
