Look to the Transfer Portal: Discussion thread

Sigh* Guess we’re going to do this today. I got time.

@GrozDozer no shot at you, just tagging you to understand my rationale backed with examples.

Why did USC bring in Dorian Singer if they brought back Tahj Washington, Mario Williams, Brendan Rice, Michael Jackson III, etc., while signing Zachariah Branch, Makai Lemon, and Ja’Kobi Lane?

Why did Oregon bring in Tez Johnson, Gary Bryant and Tre’Shon Holden when they were returning Troy Franklin and Kris Hutson while signing Jurrion ****ey and Ashton Cozart?

Why did Georgia bring in RaRa Thomas and Dominic Lovett when they were returning Ladd McKonkey, Rosemy-Jacksaint, Arian Smith, Dillon Bell + signed Tyler Williams, Anthony Evans and Zeed Haynes?

Why did Texas grab Adonai Mitchell out of the portal despite having Worthy + a top 40 WR and a top 135 WR in their ‘23 class?

Why did FSU sign Keon Coleman when they had Wilson coming back, Douglas, Poitier, and signed 5-star Hykeem Williams?

Why did Oklahoma go out and sign Andrel Anthony from Michigan (and Brenan Thompson from Texas even if the latter didn’t perform up to expectations) when they were returning Farooq, Stoops, a couple of other freshman, + they signed Jaquaize Pettaway?

Even UNC went out and grabbed Tez Walker and Nate McCollum despite having 3 240 yard+ younger WRs returning in addition to signing top 120 prospect Chris Culliver and fellow 4-star Christian Hamilton.

I could keep going, and this is JUST the WRs. I haven’t even sniffed DT, DB, LB, etc. None of these schools rest on their laurels. Every recruit I listed was a high 4 or 5*, and every returning player had at least 200 yards (most of them 250 to 300+).

If you’re given an opportunity to upgrade your roster at ANY position with a more experienced, more proven, and better overall player RIGHT NOW (not down the road, right now)…you’re a flat out moron if you say no. You’re banking on hypotheticals, and Miami doesn’t have that luxury in ‘24.

We’re talking about Isaiah Horton and his 114 yards receiving like he’s some Bonafide star in the making LOL. I didn’t even list recruits that are being “developed” in the ‘21 or ‘22 classes, only the ‘23 ones that were supposedly going to play immediately and in Miami lenses, no need to bring in established, proven guys over.

This fanbase is so obtuse sometimes. Are we sure we want to win games?

lol you think usc regrets paying singer over adding someone on defense that would actually make a difference? All of those teams you named would’ve rather not wasted money on depth receivers and more money on impact positions on the lines which all besides Texas had issues with. I bet Texas would rather spend Mitchell money on a difference maker at corner than a receiver. I’d rather play trader than bring in some random 6th year receiver for 400k that is still in college because they won’t get drafted and use the money on a nfl DT or elite highschool prospect

Mitchell has been a beast for Texas and was a massive pickup for them en route to the playoff. 51-813-10 on the year, including a 2-TD game in their victory over Bama. They wouldn’t have survived their overtime scare against Kansas State if not for Mitchell.

The very definition of an impact player. Guarantee Texas has no regret whatsoever about investing in AD Mitchell. None.

Mitchell has accounted for over 40% of their receiving touchdowns this season and is one of two likely future first- or second-round WR's on Texas' offense.

There just isn't any valid argument to downplay how valuable the addition of AD Mitchell has been to Texas this season. And it's not like adding Mitchell via the portal prevented them from getting further help in the secondary. They brought in two 4* transfers to their secondary, but neither Jalen Catalon or Gavin Holmes have done much for them at all. Mitchell, on the other hand, has been phenomenal.

I just don't understand in what universe anyone could possibly argue that the money they used to add Mitchell would've been better spent elsewhere.
