update on portal

Karlaftis to northwestern. Barf

Sounds like a good fit. A school that specializes in slow Linbackers who can't finish a tackle.

Karlaftis to northwestern. Barf

that's a net gain

Once again you don’t know what you are talking about. 5 players have returned from the portal since they hired Odom and some have said they were waiting to see. Ryan Browne said he would wait and see and then left after we didn’t keep him and got Singleton. Yanni was expected to wait and I think it was apparent to him he would be recruited over. I think there are still some that could potentially come back like Davila and a couple of the DBs. But not too often you get 5 to come back like that.

Yanni is no doubt a good person but was definitely not George talent wise. Not even close. He must be a good student or he would not have been able to get into Northwestern. Look at it this way Yanni is getting a great education and we are getting an opponent with a less speedy LB to exploit.

Yanni was exactly as his high school coaches described him - enormous potential, none of his brothers drive.

Who knows how many of these guys the new coach and staff really wanted to keep. Im assuming 5 or 6.

today Anthony Boswell OT backed out of the portal

Great education? How so?

Northwestern is an extremely selective school accepting only 7% of applicants and is well perceived by academia.

Davila is going to Nebraska, so he won’t be one coming back.

He already graduated and getting his MBA.

Heldt to Clemson and Tibbs to K ST, also 10 players from UNLV entered today

I won’t miss Heldt at all.
All he do was crash inside, and fail repeatedly to disrupt anything— leaving the edge wide open to fakes and RPO..

A rather cowardly DE— unable/ unwilling to stick his nose into the play to seal the edge.

I don’t get it. He’s got no chance to play there for 2 years. And if he sticks it out there, they could easily buy a guy from the portal who has actually played to start over him if he even becomes the backup there. He should be transferring down to actually play football.

Meh. It was coaching. 1000%

Not to say he’s great or ready to contribute at a school like Clemson but he was out there doing what he was told. It was bad and totally the wrong thing but he had no LBs to back him up and got benched a few times for making plays but not in the flow of what was called on defense.

We should be just fine without him but he’s a guy who still has potential to be good at the CFb level.
