Since THE SEC guys won't be eligible this year. Too many rules on this transfer portal stuff.. Needs to be uniform across the board The SEC really s*** the bed by requiring grad transfers to also be in by Feb 1st. If you graduate, you shouldn't have any limitations. This new rule gave underclassmen more freedom, but restricted Graduates. Which is really dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.E.D 11,070 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I think it's pretty safe to say that the arguments of "The spring transfer portal will have just as much talent as the winter portal" is completely dead. The amount of talent and the amount of top tier kids that transferred and wanted to be at their schools for Spring dwarted the talent pool for the kids that transferred in the last month. We had multiple non p5 All American OL transfer. Top talent QBs. 5* Running backs and I'm sure much more. We've got "insiders" now claiming we aren't going to take any OL (probably b/c there aren't any). 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,591 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) We got seven extra transfer slots and have used five so far. I believe the remaining two are "use 'em or lose 'em" in this cycle. As thin as the AU roster is, it would be a shame if we can't get two players to sign, regardless of position. I believe the five remaining regular slots can carry over for early enrolees in the next class. That's assuming the NCAA doesn't change the rules again. Not sure what good five extra will do us next year if we can't even fill the 23 slots we had this time. Edited May 2, 2022 by Mikey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they could be used for HS or transfer kids next year? I feel the NCAA will have some level of "replacement" players going forward, but probably less than 7. God help us if we can't convince at least one WR to come over and help us out. The ASU kid or possibly the 2nd year player from Oklahoma, Cody Jackson. Clay Webb would be a dream if we can convince him to sit out a year or pray a waiver would get approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is: most of these guys are entering for NIL reasons and have deals lined up elsewhere already, and aren't really even options for us. So we're back to hoping to set-up visits and/or taking the scraps for the most part. I haven't seen any indication on us playing the NIL game with portal players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au302 2,669 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 For receiver, the common thought I've been seeing across a few places is that Pearsall is the #1 target (obviously), and Worsham is the realistic fall back that we could probably get since he wants to come closer to home. I'll believe it when I see it that we can even land a receiver though, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to boost his NFL stock? Maybe we get lucky and he didn't watch the draft last week. 🤞 It appears Lincoln got to the kid and downplayed Pitt having a new QB, a new OC and a new WR coach this season. That Pitt situation sounds a little like ours. Edited May 3, 2022 by JerryAU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,145 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I have been a Harsin fan. That said next years NFL class could have 4 or 5 some Gus, Hall and Wooden some Harsin like Leotah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
