Still have about 10 minutes to listen to (portal discussion)

Wiley isn’t a look look for Geo right now lol

 

[AUcane]

Good stuff. I thought Merritt was all but signed and sealed to Tennesseee. As for Hartley, first I hear of this - what's the thought as to where he might go and for what position?

FAU HC

 

[The U is back to work]

Trying to remember did we have more irons in the fire at this time last year? I know the calendar adjusted a little but these are flips across the board from SEC and OSU and OU. Not that Mario can’t flip a few but do we think there are more than 1-2 total here that we will land?

 

[jmcanes22]

So unless we have Travaris Robinson or Corey Raymond, and a boat load of cash, we're &*^%$#?

Portal

Miami likely to take a transfer QB

Mateer

He's from OK, his OC may move to OK w/Mateer

Geo likes Tulane QB Mensah

WR

Jeremiah Smith

Day on shaky ground, if he doesn't get to the ship, he's in trouble

Branch

Going to be a major portal target, great fit for Miami

Concepcion

Multiple ACC schools involved here, multiple SEC schools interested (one in Texas)

Sam Brown

Geo only see's Horton coming back from WR starters and/or WR getting major PT.

Mateer is my number one for realistic targets but Mensah would be a really nice pick up. Give us an answer at qb for two years and then let Nickel and Coleman battle it out in 2026-27.

Branch and Concepcion would be incredible. We haven't had speed like Branch since Travis Benjamin and Branch might be faster. I'd be happy with just one of them but if we could get both? Whoever ends up at QB would have some really shiny new toys to play with.

[Noliaboi]

lol. People getting paid to write “fan” type ish.

 

[tsimonitis]

Mateer is from Texas…

Mateer is from Texas

Can't read his name without thinking of this

 

[Memnon]

Where did Geo get that Mateer is from Oklahoma?

He's from Little Elm, that's North Frisco.

 

[Memnon]

And what does he mean by Dallas Wilson not being an instance impact player, but likely to play as a TF?

 

[WR Cane]

Mateer is from Texas…

Mateer is from Texas

He sure is.

 

[Strobe]

the baylor QB and OC more likely to go to OU than Mateer

 

[canadacanes]

Day is in no danger of losing his job.

If they don’t make the big ten title game and don’t have a good CFB performance he very well might be.

 

[lindend]

Mateer is from Texas…

Yea, that's what I thought too. Unless he has OK ties I'm unaware of.

Geo expected him to play as a FR, but won't have a Jeremiah Smith/Hollywood Williams type impact his first year (few do).
