WR Barion Brown

[Memnon]

Disclaimer: He's not in the Portal yet & may declare for the 2025 draft

But with that said, IF he were to come back for his Senior season, he's a kid that I would suspect receives a ton of offers to hit the Portal.

He's an explosive dynamic playmaker; Deep Threat WR & Elite Special Teams Return man.

He's had to suffer playing in that garbage Bush Hamdan Offense & for a garbage QB like Brock Vandagriff (look up his numbers ), I'd guess he'd probably wanna go to a team where he may actually get the ball a few times a game & play for a team that's an actual contender.

Obviously, our biggest selling point would be whichever QB we decided to bring in via Portal in conjunction with a nice comprehensive NIL deal. Were he to enter, he'd probably be a fairly high valued commodity on the Portal market.

Arguably one of the top 3 fastest players in CFB.

Again, this is just preemptive on my part, as he has not indicated that he's entering the Portal, just posting on a potential target.

Man, the OC and the QB really killed him this year.

@Memnon - do you think Concepción from NC State is in the same boat as Brown in terms of offense, QB and potential in his junior season elsewhere?

Seems Bailey may be a better QB than Brock but the drop off is similar numbers wise.

His production dropped by 64.9% as a result of playing in one of the worst Offenses in the P4.

If he doesn't declare for the draft, I'd hope we have a fellow Nashvillian in Horton reach out to him & clue him in on what being at Miami has done for his career trajectory.

Kid can fly

Yes he too saw a 50% drop in production due to QB issues at NC ST.

He's another one that will probably be a hot commodity on the Portal market if he decides to enter.

Shifty Slot WR with very good hands & speed.

I would imagine the SEC schools will be after him pretty heavily.

QB is so critical though to sell to these WRs. If we are bringing in a QB, I hope he’s pretty much already locked and loaded.
Knowing there will NOT be another Cam, we need to make our decision quick and use that person to help sell WR transfer prospects.

Funny story- I just went through the portal season on my NCAA game tonight, and he was in there and he’s a blazer. I threw max resources at him and he still went elsewhere. Of course, I got an unbelieveable haul in the game, with Ryan Williams, JS and Eugene Wilson.

I’m with memnon here. We should give a holler to JQ Hardaway as well.

Flirted here two diff cycles… 3rd one the charm?

expect QB to be quick

 

[JHallCanes]

Just can’t even imagine a legit receiver going and playing for that program my god their offense is horrifying

 

[htownkidd]

Even if he did enter

Texas/Oregon, just gonna get ahead of it.

 

[Calinative]

Seems y'all already have a good idea of who it is likely to be, and it isn't Mateer... Hopefully he's good

I recently rewatched 3 Kentucky games
(looking for potential Portal players)
- vs Texas
- vs Auburn
- vs South Carolina

It made me physically sick to my stomach watching that Offense. It was fxkin agonizing. Similar to Iowa 2023, it was just dusty & slow.

Legitimately made myself angry watching that torture. I literally said to myself, "Wtf am I doing?" while I was sitting there watching it lol

 

[Strobe]

thank god, idk if I can take another rollercoaster like last year's QB courtship

I hate how true this is.

My brother I know watching them against UGA actually killed you inside like it did me

They easily had that game won and just…man…they just said **** no

Indescribable

One of my really really good friends played ball at UK a few years back and I didn’t have any words to help him

 

[CANE1775]

Good stuff @Memnon. Barion is a baller. I will be absolutely shocked if he returns to UK next year unless he's somehow sold on things being opened up with the freshman QB. If I had to guess, watch out for Tenn here. He won't come cheap though. He's getting paid nicely at UK and I'd guess others will be willing to match/surpass that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Tenn is a big spender on transfer WRs like Brown and HORTON. They need Nico to take that next step next year.
