Spring transfer portal watch

I had hopes for the defensive tackles spots this year. Behind our safety group, I thought it had the chance to be the best unit on the defense. We had more sacks from returning guys at DT than we did from returning DE last year. Douse played well at times last year, Stone did some good things and at least Biggers has gotten some PT (he didn't seem to have the impact last year he had the year before; just seemed that way).
But Miles leaving and Stone hitting the door ain't real good.
 
I mean he definitely would have gotten some playing time but I don't see where this really hurts. Douse and Scott are most likely the starters with Biggers being the first off the bench. Lockett looked good in Spring too so him and Stone were probably battling for the other 2 spot. We still have serviceable guys behind them also.

No way this is anything other than NIL. Someone got to him prior to him entering, and that öööö is against the "rules". Too bad those rules don't mean öööö.

I know. It’s a shame other teams are trying to get better by convincing players to transfer to them. I wonder if we could do that?
 
I wouldn't doubt Deion is scatter gunning that Colorado will pay $$$, if they can pay it or not.

As for those of you crybabying about him leaving, it hurts depth, but he wasn't THAT damn good he can't be replaced.
 
Why play in a spring game only to transfer out.... The portal taketh and giveth, and sucketh

Scott had a couple more tackles than Stone last year but Stone had more TFL.
And you pretty much rattled off anybody who had any experience coming back. So who are these "serviceable" guys? The Clemson transfer? Because of the six DTs who played last year, two are now gone (TK and Stone) and the other (Moore) is a walk on.
We're going to be mighty thin there unless we move one or two of the bigger DEs (Josh Robinson, e.g., or maybe even Youndjouen) into those spots.

Every DT on the team will eventually be replaced. Every player on the team will eventually be replaced. It isn't a big deal.

We need a cash reserve for players entering the portal so we can buy back the ones we think are worth it. That's how the real world works, you get an offer to leave and your current boss can either counter or wave bye.

Taking a counter is almost always a bad move in the corporate world so why would NiL be different?

Cause college football eligibility is only 4-5 years anyway, not a 40 year decision. If your decision to portal is primarily NIL $$ based, why not stay put if the same NIL $$ is offered. If you are leaving because you think it gives you a better shot at the NFL, then maybe you leave even if it means less NIL $$. The kid with an offer to play in the SEC may leave anyway; but if it is just to go to Colorado for more money then a counter offer to stay at GT is probably the better deal.

LOL if you think taking/keeping a corporate job is a 40 year decision.

LOL if you think a portal decision is like a corporate decision. Whether you stay at your next job for 3 years or 10 years you are still making a decision with longer term impacts than the portal decisions the majority of these players are making, and a lot of them know it.
