Transfer Portal watch

Mario needs to make Dubose happen.

 

[JZCane0825]

Immediately rectifies our outside receiver issues

Guys like grant dubose are the type of portal WRs we will be able to attract in the off-season. Small school WR that's been productive and wants to go Power 5 to improve his draft stock.

Thanks Captain Obvious

I wouldn’t count on it lol.

 

[AK_Cane]

This is going to be a fun 30 days lol

 

[UnitedCanedom]

Dennis Smith and Andrew Rogers already started following Dubose FWIW

 

[Mackmiller974]

But we will need to have an offense in place if we want to land these guys..so if there are changes to be made on staff, Mario cannot take 6 weeks interviewing folks.

I think Mario already has his offense in place

Mario needs to nail the transfer portal this offseason. This years additions have been a disappointment if we're being honest. Other programs brought in elite talent (FSU continues to crush that side of the game with Bethune, Verse, and others).

We knew we needed a big time WR. We got Ladson.
We knew we needed a big time LB. We got Caleb.
We knew we needed a big time OL addition (RT preferably). We got some small unproven backups.
We knew we needed a steady CB2 to pair with Tyrique. We got Daryl.

The only positions I could say we got what was needed is along the DL and RB positions.

This year can't be the same. I'm tired of thinking that we can't go and get an elite player at a position because we have a random 4 star that hasn't done anything yet. We love overhyping these guys.

1. Land an elite WR. And bring in a 2nd stready WR.
2. I still think we need an instant impact transfer LB. Wesley is going to be a good player but not sure if he'll be an impact player next year.
3. Give me an O'Cyrus Torrence type of OL transfer. Be it IOL or OT...just someone that can be a difference maker on this OL.
4. Go get an elite proven CB to pair with Cormani. Probably need a 2nd one here too.
5. Go get an elite RB. Ole Miss lost Parrish and then got Zach Evans. Bama got Jahmyr Gibbs with a stacked room. Go and do the same.
6. Go get an elite proven pass rusher. I'm tired of waiting and hoping that these young guys show something.
7. If TVD comes back, QB room is probably fine. If not, go and get an elite dual-threat QB and give Jacurri some time.

In fairness, he also brought over Mesidor, who'll likely be on an all-ACC team. Caleb Johnson was one of the best LB'ers in the Pac-12 last year but the light bulb just hasn't come on. Parrish has been our best RB when he's been healthy. Tough to call all of these guys disappointments when he was barely weeks on the job but we certainly need more impact guys for sure.

Oh yea? He's already hired a new OC?

 

[supacane]

Yall talking about WR, show me the OL. Show me the left tackle. I know Francis can play RT now. If we get pancake likely slide in at left but i want depth. And while you are at it, show me the Qbs and a new OC. Them 3 things fix our offense. We have players and Ray Ray gonna ball...

 

[305407cane]

Dubose was doing work against mtsu fwiw

 

[Cribby]

They Know

 

[Mackmiller974]

I just don't think Mario is the type of HC that will fire his OC after one season, I think he's going to blame the struggles on injuries and being forced to play backup QBs and a patch work OL. I think he will give the offense another year and maybe just replace Ponce

Zion should be the LT next season. I think we will add OL from the portal though, we need a RT and RG

I‘d be willing to bet there’s been contact and he knows who’s interested. Maybe somebody from last year or a coach that could be fired. Thats just a feeling I have beens things have been in motion with our currant situation for weeks.

I think even Gattis realizes this place isn't for him.

Kids don't respect him or his terrible scheme.

 

[Mackmiller974]

Add dubose and our starting WRs next year will be

WR Colbie Young
WR Grant Dubose
Slot Xavier Restrepo

We will need to add another Proven WR but that's a quality starting unit you can make **** happen with

And why do you think that? Is he close personal friends with Gattis? Have they worked together in the past? What amount of loyalty is keeping Gattis another year? What you're actually saying is that Mario will replace a coach he's actually tied to and has worked with in a previous role.

Your opinion categorically goes against the grain of logic as well as what insiders close to the program are saying so please, indulge us all with your subject matter expertise.
