Transfer Portal Tracker

With Malik coming back and our WR additions through the portal, I think our net is a positive.

Especially in light of what keeping Singleton would have cost us. Even if he was the only good receiver, we'd have defunded other more critical needs.

Hoping to see another big DL add with splash before this is over.
 
Apparently we significantly drove Auburn's price up for Singleton so I'm not sure who, if anybody, wins in that situation. I think we'll be fine without him, and Auburn is overpaying for who will be their 2nd or 3rd receiver on a team with a coach on the hot seat and a terrible qb room. He may have more $ in his pocket today but that is a seriously dumb move.

Romello still could come back and I think is having second thoughts about his rash decision. Even if he's signed anything, nothing is binding for transfers and he can leave and enroll anywhere he wants to as long as the portal is still open and spring semester hasn't started.

If Singleton maximized his market value then he likely wins. If he is on the field next year and stays healthy, he almost gets invited to the combine. Even when Auburn stinks I don't think his draft stock will fall too much -- he was and will remain a mid-late round pick.

key question there - Did he actually SEE Lubbock before committing to them?

When PJ was coaching in Hawaii, one of his recruiting territories was Texas. He got to know the flight attendants on those flights fairly well.
He was up for a job at Texas Tech (can't remember if it was OC or even HC) and was discussing it with one of the flight attendants he knew while on a flight to Texas. He said she told him, "Why would you want to go to Lubbock?"

Auburn looks like they got lost during COVID and are just done.

Auburn's biggest issue is that Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, LSU, and Tex A&M are all out performing them. That means 5 losses expected going into next season unless they can find a way to improve quickly. They are trailing in recruiting against those teams after already being out manned.

I can understand Georgia and Alabama.

I guess the others are just outspending Auburn.

Just seems like a place for Singleton to go to watch his draft status die. Auburn is a trainwreck. I see McCollum style crash.

Auburn fans really ripped into Thorne when he underperformed and started asking for their money back. If Singleton drops a few critical passes next season he needs to be mentally prepared for the negative crowd response due to his reportedly 7 figure salary.

Feels like NFL drafts a lot more on measurables and potential than college production.

You do need some production to get people looking at you -- but Singleton doesn't have that issue at this point, and it's hard to believe he'd be a complete bust at Auburn anyway, even if they're not great.
 
If Singleton got 7 figures - I saw a number as high as $1.5MM and it was on the internet so it has to be true - well then congrats to him. But I also want to say congrats to GT management for not paying him that much. Now if GT management wants to pay seven figures for a couple of quick 300lb defensive tackles, that would be just fine with me.

We have tackles, we need ends

By all accounts I've heard, he did not get 7 figures.
