Portal Transfer Targets

Cobra Kai said:
A lot of guys having kittens about who we're losing to the portal...are we really losing a lot?  Are we missing these guys after they're gone?  Robinson was a blow, Martinez may be...but are we just losing crazy amounts of talent and not replacing it?

I really just don't see it.

I agree ! I hated losing Robinson and he had a great year. In trade, we got Toure, who only had approximately 250 less yards and 1 less td than Wandale. I am also an AM supporter and hate to see him leave, jury out as you mentioned. If we don’t find a portal guy, it could hurt. Biggest blow was nfl declarations, not portal.

People have been having kittens for 2 years about all of our portal losses and I find it hilarious.  We haven't really lost anyone worth losing sleep over other than Robinson and maybe Martinez.   

Maybe I'm wrong, I'll wear that hat if I am.  But I just don't see it.

Was Spielman portal?  I do think if we had Spielman, Wandale, and even Luke, then Frost would definitely have some more wins under his belt. If AM gets these guys the ball usually good things would happen. These were weapons in our offense that we lost. Is what it is though.

Wandale yes. The other 2 nope. JD’s heart and mind weren’t in it anymore and AM couldn’t have ever gotten Luke the ball as they play the same position, just ask Luke.

Luke is a D2 QB. He is terrible. Look at his stats this year at Rice. The biggest mistake was recruiting him to play QB. That’s why Harry Potter got fired.

Bingo !!!  Which is why our qb depth was poor. Fell a year behind with the “I promise you are a qb “.

I’m not even sure smothers has the arm to be a good starter. I just can’t believe how bad the recruiting was. Terrible.

He has an average division 1 arm. This crazy narrative that he has some sort of noodle arm is so annoying. Dude completed a 40 yard pass falling backwards against Iowa and has plenty of zip across the middle. Wanna see a noodle arm? Go watch Zach lee highlights.

Like I said Luke should have had some running packages for him at QB and that’s it. Could we have used Luke more in the role that Wandale had between the tackles?  Then use Wandale in his more natural position. Instead both left, not good.

Luke wanted to be QB doubt he would’ve wanted to be in the role. Plus he was redshirted right? Sad our RBs were that depleted/crappy. Wan’Dale & Toure would be a very good one two combo

Good thought, but Luke refused the idea and bolted. That was were it was headed but Luke was convinced he was a QB, not a duck r or slot
