Makius Scott - Transfer DT

Makius is really close with Jordan Williams, so I have to think seeing him come here and succeed right away made an impression. Plus the coaching change at SC. Hope this is the type of DT recruit we get out of high school going forward.
 
It’s happening almost in secret too because the transfers with 3-4 years of eligibility are not directly showing up in our recruiting rankings. So just for this year you’ve got Watson, Harris, Pendley, and Scott all coming in. You include them in the 2021 class rankings and it’s probably a Top 25 class. Last year it was Clayton and Ryan Johnson.

There is a LOT of talent entering the program these days. And with the 2022 class on the precipice of blowing up..... these are exciting times. 2022 will be a historic class. Probably Tech’s best ever, from a rankings perspective.
 
Wait - so this is actually happening? Holy Crikey! This young man is a monster. :dancingwtc:

This is a great year to go heavy on the portal because no one is using a year of eligibility and everyone is likely to be immediately eligible. So you're getting guys with just about as much eligibility as an incoming freshman, but they've at least had some time in a college program, whether they've played in a game or not.

"Probably" a Top 25 class? We're at 31 right now and the class isn't even full. Watson and Harris would both be the highest ranked player in our class, and Scott and Pendley are both above average. We'd be at ~18ish on Rivals with that group. FWIW, we were also ranked 18th in 2007, which is the highest ranked class since modern recruiting sites were created.

Will these transfers be able to play next year? What are the covid protocols for transferring this year?

A proposal to make a permanent change to allow every college athlete a 1-time "free" transfer has already passed an initial vote and is being voted on by the NCAA in January for the change to be adopted and enforced immediately. All expectations from both sides (schools and NCAA) are that it will pass. If for some unknown reason it does not, I would imagine COVID is going to give everybody a free pass for this year.
