Off-season Portal additions/losses

[VimSince03]

I wonder how many Griz players (besides Bergen) leave UM after their season is done. I think there will be a few.

I would assume they lose some, but it’ll be interesting to see who that might be. Bergen is an obvious candidate, but I’ll believe it when I see it, as far as him actually leaving.
Gillman is on the radar, but I don’t see him leaving after one year.

I don’t know their roster up and down, but I’m not sure how many other big time players they have that would get that FBS shot.

All 3 of their WR’s could be getting some looks.

In today’s world being named national freshman of the year is about the worst thing you could ask for…. Gotta assume he is gone.

Could be right, and I’m assuming some stuff, but I think the most logical thing for some of these freshman to do is to come back for another year and do it again, or do it better than the previous year. Then they have a two year sample on what they can do, I’d fully expect them to leave at that point.
I just don’t know how many FBS programs are knocking down the door for a freshman that has one good year.

The elephant in the room here that I haven’t heard anyone talk about is Connor Moore for us. I’d expect him here next year, but if he continues to improve and is all conference of some kind next year, I’d be very surprised to see him back for years 3 and 4.

Might even end up being a recruiting tool. "You didn't get any P4 offers, only 1 G5 offer, come here, look how many Olineman get recognized by big time programs here. We will develop you and when the time is right you'll have double digit offers from the top of CFB"

As much as I hate it you have to be willing to adapt and use it to your advantage. I'm not sure there is another FCS team that has had as many offensive lineman plucked off the roster to play P4 in the last handful of years. What are we up to 4? Sessions, Redd, now Aigbedion, Reimer.

Also Connor wood

Redd medically retired before his senior season. Connor Wood went to Missouri.

Yes I posted Redd but meant Wood.

I think that’s exactly right. Adapt to it or whither and die (figuratively speaking).

Flip it around as a recruitment tool and get those high ceiling players that are maybe G5 quality, but would be buried on a depth chart for a couple years. Let them play and develop for a couple years here, knowing we’ll lose them for their last year or two. But just keep that supply churning.

It may not be my preference to watch good players consistently leaving, but it’s the reality of where things are at. Capitalize on it and continue to compete for titles.

Heck, I'd even use it with some long shots, like 4 stars who might not get reps at a P4 school, but could go to a sure thing NIL with 2 good seasons at MSU.

Have any who left sniffed the NFL.. Seems like more guys who have stayed at FCS schools get drafted than those who try to move up thru portal.

Bobcats? We will find out this year on Ifanse. Session still has a year left at Cal. Wood didn’t get any interest. Glessner still has a year left, but I doubt he sees any interest. I don’t believe he transferred for a chance at the NFL though.

[tetoncat]

Yes Bobcats.

[MSU01]

Have any who left sniffed the NFL.. Seems like more guys who have stayed at FCS schools get drafted than those who try to move up thru portal.

Sure. A couple examples that come to mind are Jabril Cox (transferred NDSU to LSU, drafted by Dallas) and Samori Toure (transferred UM to Nebraska, drafted by Green Bay). I'm sure there are others.

[BelligerentBobcat]

Jared Verse should be a first round edge player. Transferred from Albany to Florida State.

My question was more related to Cats. Then stated I think more overall FCS get drafted staying. Those are
good examples. I do think Cox gets drafted either way. Maybe higher if stays at NDSU

Rush committed to Cal today.

I cant find the link, but only roughly 1 of 3 G5 to P5 transfers last year even got equal playing time to their G5 days. Reminds me a lot of Adams or Prukop going to Oregon for their grad year.

Honestly, I don't think most of these guys are transferring for a better shot at the NFL. Ifanse & Glessner certainly didnt ever have legit NFL aspirations.

Cal & UCLA are vastly better schools than MSU. Full stop. Not even close. If a guy with no shot at the NFL transfers to a better school, maybe...just maybe there are factors other than a shot at playing on Sundays.

If I remember correctly, didnt Sessions transfer out for mental health issues?

Maybe I’m wrong but didn’t Adams win the starting job and then got hurt?

I think Ifanse may get a look in an NFL camp but I doubt he makes a team. However, who would have thought Elijah Dotson from Sac/UNC would make a roster this year.

Yeah, Glessner transfered because it was his dream school. He doesn’t stand a chance at making an NFL team unless he improves significantly next season.

Sessions said he transfered because of mental health issues but so did Battle. I think it’s more likely in Sessions case.

Battle's backstory leaves me know doubt it was mental health related. Danny did a lot for that kid behind the scenes.

I won’t get much into it here. There is a thread in the b-ball forum. I’ll take him at his word that he left for his mental health. It’s his life and he can do whatever he wants to.

Maybe so but he could've followed Sprinkle to Utah State if that's what it was about.
