Jayden Wayne to the portal

Never thought I'd say this but Ferman is spot on

**** another one that stings. Only here for 1 season. Thought he had a shot to develop over the next season or 2. So what's the DE group looking like now...bain/mesidor/alston then who?? Guess the youngsters will need to step in and contribute early. Hopefully one or two have a Bain like early contribution

The mopes know I’m a pro Mario guy and generally optimistic about the team. I thought we had a playoff caliber team with some smart portal adds this — i.e. we’d win 10 to make the Top 12 cut.

But to dismiss these DL departures as minimally impacting is foolish. Bain is the only Mario recruit from both 22 and 23 to stick. Moss, Achaeompong, Kelly and now Wayne are gone. Roberts, Jordan, Harvey. Chantz, LT and JHH too. That is terrible evaluation and/or development. We now have 3 of 4 DL starters who are transfers. That’s just bad.

So I’m not in the meh camp at all here. I really hope we can backfill from the portal. Maybe we can. But IMO today was a terrible day to be a Cane fan.

Should free up a solid amount of $.

Either they need it to get Martinez and/or Brown or we should be seeing a splash to replace JHH and Wayne.

Let's hope its the latter because the former should be happening regardless of what happens with rest of roster, especially Martinez

Cole is already a better player than this dude and that ain’t sour grapes

The 2ndary is trash man. We need the O to put teams away. Scary thought with Mario at HC.

LOL. Cam Ward portaling out would be a terrible day. Might want to step back from the ledge.

This kid fell pretty significantly somewhat late in the process but CIS told me it was anti-Miami bias. Maybe he ain’t that good?

The next time he sets the edge will be his first. Mario is just a modern slugger: bat .205, hit 35 bombs and K 150 times

I feel this is going to be the standard moving forward. Pay good NIL to get guys in and then if they get passed over by newer guys, it gets reallocated.

Kyle Schwarber has a World Series ring

Malik Bryant jumped him and we LOVE the younger guys

I think you nailed it.

Decent depth player but not anywhere near his 5 star billing. Next

What else did you expect? If you wanted great portal additions to transform the roster, it’s inevitable that guys like Kelly, JHH and Wayne would have to depart. You’re delusional if you didn’t think these type of departures werent going happen

While I agree with a lot of what you said its a little premature to determine whether it was a terrible day or not. What I will say is that is certainly does challenge the prevailing narrative around here "that the portal is unsustainable and We're building it the right way...." Seems to me we're going to be doing a whole lot of depending on the portal going into year 3

Yall can roll your eyes all you want but this is CFB nowadays. You don’t provide the value being paid to you, you get fired from work. These kids wanna be treated like adults, here you go.

I feel like no one here saw the spring game if you are freaking out, literally losing DE 7/8.... go watch the spring game and lmk where he was in the rotation.
