His dad Bo.was an absolute stud. If the son is anything close he will be the real deal.

He’s not. I don’t think he played in 10 varsity games at Oaks over 3 years. More pics than touchdowns.

How did 6'3" Frosh QB Trey Towns jump in front of him. Injury? Odd that we offer someone w such little playing time.

sounded like alot of injuries in his career. And could be a small partial.

One QB will be in a LDS mission for a couple years, and one sounds like a Trent Thompkins ‘we will find a spot for this guy’ type.

Larison played QB and turned out OK.

Oh wow. I had no idea.

Larison, Teddye Buchanan, Tehran Thomas and dozens of others played QB in H.S. were recruited to play other positions here from the get go. Most the recent QBs are QB prospects as was Trent Tompkins. Trent had a legitimate shot at playing QB.

Split time as a sophomore and then had some injuries the last two years. Definitely a developmental type. I think Plough will be looking for an experienced transfer and Hastings’ numbers this year will help that cause.

Browsing over the transfer portal list.......would be nice to land a strong RB1.

How about a DE stud.

Are we looking for an experienced QB?

DE seems like a need to my eye.

I would say we are deep, but inexperienced at QB. I think its a delicate balance between keeping a commitment to the guys we recruit as well. I would guess Plough rolls with what we've built at QB. But who knows...

First domino. Kavir Bains in the portal. https://x.com/kbains23/status/1868852339295371485

Bains will be a six year player only possible because of COVID.. Several more in that category but none with the year Bains had.
They squandered Toki’ and Nava’s redshirt years in 2021, they are from the same class as Bains, ‘20.

Montana QB Logan Fife transfers to NM State.

Decommit from Cal Poly -> Fresno State -> Minnesota -> Montana -> NM State.......jeez.

That may be a reason schools aren’t required to offer a year of tuition and housing, so they can rent a player for a few months.

As far as I can tell, Blake Cotton CB (junior?) and Kavir Bains CB (senior) are the only Aggies in the portal so far (?)

You have to trick the site by clicking on the "commits"......then change the drop down to "2025"
They are slow to update Davis. Idaho has 8 guys listed already.

EWU's Kekeo Visperas QB 6' is in as well.
Cal Poly had an OL commit to Michigan.

I happen to watch ABC News 7 right now, and Teddye Buchanan was just interviewed. He said there are 2000 guys in the transfer portal.

The key factor in this year's portal is the impending roster limit that most schools will adopt before next season. Look up "House Settlement". FBS rosters come down to 105 (most/many are in the 120s), while scholarships go up from 85 to up to 105) More trickle up, more trickle down.

New offer on Dartmouth grad transfer DL Ejike Adele

I think he’s low about 50%

Looks like Davis is the best school academically to offer him so far. That probably matters for an Ivy guy.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything, but I'm curious if this will be the first Dartmouth transfer of a few more, and if that means Kevin Daft is moving back to Davis. Probably not, and it's just coincidence. But I'd have to imagine that the Davis coaching pool keeps in touch.

Yeah, wonder if Tim and Kevin call each other from time to time - talk O.

Mario Minor and Markeece Alexander are in the portal now. Both had 1 year of eligibility remaining.

Do you have a link for following the FCS transfer portal?

I curious to know if we actively try and to get any of our graduating seniors with eligibility left, into grad school here? We did that for Nico Rocak in basketball. Do we do try to get any of our football players to play their final year as a grad student here?

Ulisone Amone this year is listed as a Grad Student.

I don't have a specific link for the fcs, no. The 2 best sources for the portal that I know are...

https://www.on3.com/transfer-portal/wire/football/

I happened to see the new about Minor and Alexander on twitter

Graduate Transfer - 1 Year of Eligibility Remaining.
Unanimous First Team All-Ivy DB. 91.3 PFF Grade.

Didn't a few of our guys test the portal last year and decide to stay?
