I hope they are at least trying to get Joe Labas, 4 star QB in the portal from Iowa. 6-4, 213 lbs. Played football somewhat locally at Brecksville-Broadview Hts.

gozips19 Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Starting to see a trend from last year to this year. Most of the contributions from the portal on d line and front 7 came from high performing FCS or Juco kids. Looks like he's keeping that approach and applying it to the o line. It's an interesting approach as going the p5 route has been more miss than hit. If you're good at the G5 level chances are a P5 is grabbing you. Still need 2 QBs at a min to come in and compete in spring ball. Edited December 6, 2023 by gozips19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitt took Mumpfield from us, PSU took Cephas from Kent - taking guys that succeeded and are moving up is not always a bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The portal doesn't discriminate. The only difference may be the winning programs losing 2nd or 3rd string guys vs starters leaving losing programs. 56 minutes ago, zippy5 said: nah, P5 rejects have the same risk as a lower level guy moving up. Pitt took Mumpfield from us, PSU took Cephas from Kent - taking guys that succeeded and are moving up is not always a bad thing At least Cephas & Mumpfield produced at the FBS level. P5 rejects were P5 for a reason, regardless of their production, whether it be size, speed, athleticism, etc. Lingard's production at Miami FL & Florida was nonexistent, but we saw how much of a stud he was at Akron. If these FCS/DII players Garner competitive G5/P5 offers in addition to ours, my tune will change, but until then I'm skeptical. Part of the competitive turnaround (despite the record) has been due to replacing entire position groups with P5 transfers.

catdaddyp Posted December 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Here is how we’ve fared in the portal and with JUCO so far. Some of the backups started, but I listed them in the roll that they fulfilled the most. I guess this list can be a little misleading as I’m sure some of the players listed as backups will be starters next year. P5 RB Lingard = Starter RB Wiley = Starter WR SJL = Starter (All-Conference) WR Adams = Starter (All-Conference) WR George = Starter (All-Conference) TE Banks = Starter OL Whigan = Starter (All-Conference) DL Harper = Starter LB S. Cooper = Starter CB Tallandier = Starter S KJ Martin = Starter (All-Conference) S Thompson = Starter QB Bullock = Backup RB CJ Price = Backup RB D. Anderson = Backup TE Newell = Backup TE Clark = Backup OL Kindred = Backup CB Hunter = Backup CB T. Thomas = Backup OL A. George = N/A G5 OL Banes = Starter OL Blanchard = Starter DL V. Jones = Starter DL Holt = Starter DL Lavea = Starter LB Terry = Starter DL D. Robinson = Backup CB Golden-Nelson = Backup WR D. Thomas = N/A FCS DL T. Jones = Starter QB Undercuffler = Backup WR P. Wilson = Backup S J Woods = Backup D2 or Below OL Frank = Starter DL Rabah = N/A JUCO DL Nunnally = Starter (All-Conference) LB Fish = Starter P Jackson = Starter WR C. Anderson = Backup DL K. Thomas = Backup DL A. Smith = Backup DL L. Jackson = Backup DL Richardson = Backup DL T. Carter = Backup LB Summers = Backup CB Threatt = Backup CB Proby = N/A Edited December 6, 2023 by catdaddyp 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
