    I have not looked into this at all so this question may not be worth the ask, but how are they even ranking portal kids when not everyone is in the portal at the same time? It just seems like a snapshot in time. It’s not like HS recruits all graduating in the same year ie the rank is relative to other kids in general and then other kids at the position.

    Since they are ranking portal transfers, I would hope the rankings will change and adjust once the portal period closes for the year.

    Does anyone know how these rankings exactly work in this regard?

    The rankings don't work is the conclusion, but that won't keep people from freaking out over them.

    Imagine if Ethan came back now. What a OG combination we would have. Dominant interior OL.

    People keep mentioning that about White. Is that a possibility?

    Any tackles left we may still pursue? Any portal visits before the 1/19 deadline?

    It is, but I hear it’s unlikely.

    This is a great pick up. However, neither he, Leonard, White or anybody else who we have as a body or could get in the portal is remotely close to Torrence. There is a step back next year at OG no matter how much I wish there was not.

    After what seemed like an intentional jab at staff, I’d say unlikely.

    The “jab” was from his mommy.

    Still agree it’s unlikely.
