It’s why I posted it bc it was a high number. Reason uat is not listed is 3 of their 17 portal losses were walk-ons. This list is scholarship losses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson, Robinson, Tennison, and Height are the only 4 that I can think of that I'm sad to see go out of the 16 or 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't "highly rated" Not to rehash old posts. But Keenum was on campus today. And as far as his rating. According to 247 , he is only 2 spots lower as an OT than Eston Harris was this year. I remember most folks saying what a catastrophe it would be if AU didn't get Harris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably bc he was our first and only chance at an OT in 6 years. He wasn't "highly" rated either. He's a good project player and close by. 900th might have been a stretch. Also timing. January '21 not sure ppl were venting how we haven't put the full court pressure on Easton. We had a lot of other top OT that we clearly missed on.

Several 3 * and below OT will be playing today in the Championship games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to go after the ones borderline, and develop. Until we get a monster OL coach who has a legacy of attracting OL, we are going to continue to go through this yo yo cycle. Right now, we can't even get the bodies in here to start the development. I think 2023 recruiting of OL will dominate these threads for a while, and we will still be gashing our teeth when the players start committing again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take 5 guys, hope 1 per class turns out to be really good and then you get some contributors. We can keep taking 1 per class when we miss on all our top options. I'd also prefer guys who need to add weight vs ones with a ton if bad weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlife alumni 304 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 With the transfer portal stuff, I wonder if you will see less developmental player picked up. Is it better to leave a few roster spots open for the next transfer guy to come up? If you do not have a opening and someone comes available you may just miss an opportunity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,643 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 In other news, highly coveted Southern Cal QB Jax Dart is headed to Ol' Miss. Many at AU were hopeful that he'd end up here, but alas.... Apparently Lame Kiffin has this transfer portal situation figured out while some other (nameless) schools are striking out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But right now we have 9 openings available under the annual limit and there don't appear to be nine interested players out there that can help us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
