    The portal is heating up and I keep coming back to Gator Country to try to keep track of everything. Thought it would be good to start a thread tracking all of the outgoing portal players.

    Quincy Ivory
    Ja’keem Jackson
    Kelby Collins
    Andy Jean
    Justus Boone

    Solid group heading for the doors. 3 from the Defensive Line.

    I'm glad you stared this thread, because I saw the need but didn't want to start it. Lol...

    It's nice to have these names in one list/thread/post.

    Very good idea. Thanks! Just please keep it updated because I don't have time to. Also, when someone announces they are leaving (not when there is a rumor so-and-so is leaving) and it's posted here (by whoever posts it) you can update the title to show the latest at Post ___ . . . or however you want to do it.

    See . . . Rick just wants to read. LOL! :)

    I'm hoping it's just a play for a "raise," if you know what I mean.

    I might be overstepping my place here, but I think the big man just gave this thread/OP his tacit approval...

    Doubtful. There has been talk all year about him struggling with the move inside and Napier made veiled comments recently when asked about his limited play. Napier is a character guy so ill assume talks were had and this is for the best interest for both parties but it sucks to see a team player go from exuberant supporter to transfer.

    I just don't like the pattern here. We blew off the loss of McLellan in similar fashion. Flashed his freshman year and then disappeared his sophomore year before transferring and doing well at Missouri now. APR apparently tly had a locker room issue and had to leave but he lead the country in sacks or was near the top the past two seasons at vatech. Now kelby....

    Why are we so dismissive about losing talent on the defensive line?

    I asked Candy what he wanted to do. I knew he had incoming portal transfers but didn't realize he has outgoing also working.

    Since this is more like recruiting, as opposed to injured players, etc. we'll probably go to the one already running 6 pages+ in Awesome Recruiting . . . but I'll let everyone know for sure as soon as I hear back.

    Edit: Candy already answered and we decided all portal-related posts (incoming and outgoing) will now be in Awesome Recruiting. Thanks everyone!

    PS -- See Post #10 for the link.
