Off-season Portal additions/losses

[AFCAT]

The Cats just offered a UW linebacker a couple of days ago. I know they aren’t done and probably won’t be until June or July.

It's ridiculous it has to even be stated we aren't done. It's January 16th! Check back in a month from now...then check back in end of May.

Exactly!

You have to like this staff’s approach to the portal. Sit back, do nothing and maybe before the season starts we will find some kid that is still hoping to find a home. Well played

Sarcasm?

I don't think it's sarcasm at all. We seem to have picked up a couple needed players to replace the portal losses. Some great players will emerge after the frenzy that has just happened and we will probably have a couple roster spots to offer some best available athletes. I too think it's a smart strategy.

Isn't there still a Feb signing period for HS kids, and then portal in spring. I think spring when players realize where they are on depth chart leads to more FBS transfers of good players, might be 3rd on depth chart or a backup who wants to start.

I was being sarcastic because all I have heard about the last three days is how incredible the Griz portal commits are and how they are clearly winning this battle. They lost a decent amount of players from a team that played a pretty easy schedule, basically made it to Frisco with home field advantage and special teams scoring. I know our staff is looking and not just taking anyone, they know where we need the most help.

I haven't seen one of there transfers yet, that just pops out as a wow that is an impact player

One can only hope Coach Vigen is in that slum trying to convince a few of these kids they should bring their abilities to MSU. Looks like not only can't that school keep decent coaches, they can't keep decent players. Back to participation status. (Should have never been in the last four team playoff and it'll be many years until they make the 12 team playoff).

Can it be and/both? The Griz are filling gaps to remain competitive AND the Cats can be choosy because they have depth.

Not to mention....Griz schedule is even easier next season.

[AFCAT]

Man, UWs QB room will certainly look different next season with four QB portal losses and Penix gone too.

Maybe, but they'll have some challenges. Unfortunately for them, that last game will probably decide it all and they have to come to Bozeman.

Dude, what is your problem? They clearly showed they belonged. Beat Texas, who is now part of your revered SEC. I don't understand you

This sucks. Wonder if his brother stays? Another player that I felt like we could have used in other ways and don’t blame him for leaving. Best of luck!!!

After being thrown down the depth chart at RB, can't tell me there isn't a gifted LB within his skillset. Best of luck to him.

I thought the portal was closed?

Sure like the kid. High character and a hard worker.
Hate to see him go

Grad transfers can transfer whenever.

Odd thing was his brother was playing special teams more than he was last year. Garrett did graduate so I think he just wants a change of scenery with an opportunity to compete at RB somewhere. Current RB room depth chart:

Julius Davis (Sr.)
Scottre Humphrey (So.)
Jared White (RSo.)
Elijah Elliot (Sr.)
Adam Jones (RFr.)
Colson Coon (RFr.)
Unterrio Latin-Henley (Fr.)

Didn't remember he had graduated. Bummer, but I get it. Pretty full room.

But he would have to want to do that. And maybe he didnt?

At 6'0", 190 lbs, he probably would have needed to bulk up to play LB too. Lot of work learning the position amd bulking up.
