The post-Spring Practice portal rush has happened. There might be one or two more.

Unlike basketball, I don't think this is panic worthy.

Well, we needed some spots to open up unfortunately. Imagine we will pick up some immediate contributors in the portal. It’s worked out well for us so far.

Rosters have a way of working themselves out. Does anyone know our scholarship count now? I would bet we are not at 85 anymore and have some room to add now without losing anymore.

In my humble opinion, we have major problems on the D-line now.
I was hoping we would add additional D-line talent, instead we’re losing it.

I sure hope we have a plan, especially to get bigger in the middle.

Clark did a post practice interview where he mentioned that they were looking for a NT in the portal.

The absolute toughest position to fill via the portal.

From a defensive standpoint I would agree.

So let’s cut (let go) of 2. Makes sense. Pound the portal!

I really don't think the 2 DL that left were cut or let go by our staff as we are not deep at those positions. I do think they wanted more playing time (and perhaps a different scheme) than we can give so they moved on. I really think this was a players decision as opposed to being forced out by the staff.

Should be helpful in the interior line but I think we still need some help at Tackle. Need a big un or two for the outside.

Tired of having dead weight at OL with an OL as a HC. How is that possible?

The coaches can’t do it for the players. You bring guys in with talent and coach them but sometimes it just never clicks. It’s more prominent with OL because it is the position group with the most players on the field at one time. Naturally there will be misses. Clark has proven very capable of finding OL talent in the portal who have the work ethic necessary to succeed.

Sure he can land guys in the portal. But, we’re having to land guys in the portal because we haven’t developed many OL we’ve recruited out of high school. The lack of OL development has led to us transitioning DT/DL to play offensive line.

Hopefully the staff is looking at that and focusing on trying to correct it. If we hit on high school recruits we don't have to go to the portal so much and I would imagine that is the goal.
