[2023] Players Entering The Portal

normally…yes. However, I think I want Napier to have this extra time to completely overhaul and potentially get a leg up on grabbing coaches/players/recruits

 

With Napier suggesting he needed a lot of time for evaluating the portal players, maybe we should be glad they did not go to a bowl this year.

 

If he is being truthful about analyzing every year and adapting then he can’t have the same mentality he did last year. He has to get a few legit contributors from the portal, can’t wait and over analyze. We aren’t in the position to be extremely picky yet

 

It looks like half the players in college football are entering the portal. I think the end result is you have to recruit the players you have every year and recruit the new players you want too.

 

If a players is in his second or third year and he’s not coming into the next season on the two deep, they need to look elsewhere. Max is a great example. He may never play another down if he were to stay. The kid has the tools to possibly play on Sundays. He needs to start somewhere and at least try to develop.

 

To be fair, he's gotten a few legit contributors from the portal both years he's been here.

 

I agree. And I don’t fault him for George since George is a guard that is forced out of his position to play tackle. Other than that I don’t see any huge misses on transfers. Maybe kimber but I’m not sure when he got here

 

Kimber was pre-Napier.....but he's out there playing (if you call it that).

 

Nothing new here but at least a head coach is willing to discuss the numbers with the press. Perhaps max brown is shopping around with these kind of numbers. He probably won't see 7 figures but he's got to be wondering how close he can get.

UCF would seem like a good fit. Gus seemed to like Plumlee and Max is a similar player. Lean, fast, big arm. They’d probably let him play baseball too, and he might make both squads there. Plumlee did.

 

SEC TACKLE???

 

lol. Good one.

But that was last year - I assure you the approach will be different this year.

 

Is he even in the military?

 

Exactly

 

Must be ROTC.

 

It has to be.
