Who's Leaving? 2024/25 version

[krc1995]

I don't really know how White and possibly Knighton could take that many players from us especially on the Dline. FSU is loaded and has to cut down on roster size also. 

That was my thought. Maybe capping rosters is a good thing?  Guys might be going into the portal hoping TW takes them. I’m sure at least several will be disappointed. Or they were told to hit the road. 
 

I bet this nonsense drags on until players have to registered for fall classes. I wonder how many will be on the roster for spring ball?  I bet not 105. Need to save some spots for summer qualifiers.

I don't know how true this is but Huskers Online said there is a chance some of the guys in the portal are trying to test the waters, and leverage more NIL money, and that some could be back. I don't know how true that is.

I do agree that there is no way all these guys get to go to FSU. We are over valuing our own portal losses. Other schools won't do that.

This is a big loss.  The guy had a ton of upside.

And some questionable character issues. Was a nice story, but obviously has some demons.

Also from Iowa.

Do you seal your fate by “testing”?  If you have to get to 105 and you got guys that just missed practice how do you let them back?  What kind of message does that send.

”Just kidding guys.  Let’s go bowling!”. I just don’t see it.  But there’s so many factors we don’t know.

I am assuming tomorrow will not be very active as far as signees- maybe I’m wrong, but why would a 5* sign early?  
 

they should have an auction. Like cattle

Some people do, and some people teach. Being a former player does not necessarily translate to being a good coach/teacher. It’s pretty much completely different skill sets.

It looked like McGuire was neither.

Was looking for some info on roster sizes around CFB, found this tidbit:

SEC teams (including the new members Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma) in 2023 averaged 121 players on the roster, according to their own websites. That ranged from a high of 137 (Alabama Crimson Tide) to a low of 105 (Missouri Tigers).

So yeah, most are gonna have to cut to get down to the 105 player limit.

I would agree with that.

But it’s faulty to think that somebody will be good/better just because they played the position.

IGC says hi.

IGC says hi.

I think it’s a little different now

This is all so broken. Leveraging for more money when there is no contract says you have to stay. Why pay players if they can leave anytime they want?

Might want to rethink the phrasing on that one.

As for tomorrow, there may be some people signing just to keep a spot at wherever they are committed. Top prospects will be able to find a spot anywhere, but middling or under the radar guys might be jumping on a roster. Wouldn't make sense to risk losing your spot to a transfer with experience in many cases.

In a way it’s a good thing that the roster is locked. Teams were hoarding guys then cutting after spring. That’s not real fair either. 
 

it especially sucks for this year but I’m thinking next year won’t be so traumatic.
 

And I stand by the auction. It is exactly what is going on right now behind closed doors. Why can’t we watch?  Is this not entertainment?

Mike Schaefer on 247 just said it's looking more likely that Pot Roast leaves, but still not a done deal.

I hope he stays just don't know what Nebraska would have to pay him to stay or FSU to leave.  Don't know if his value is close to a million or 850-900 thousand.
