2024 Transfer Portal

[GaTech'06]

With the transfer portal window opening on 12/4 starting a thread to discuss:

1. Portal shopping list (positions and players)
2. Updates on offers and specific player news (e.g. Joey Slackman offered on 11/21)
3. Share any tracking links (https://247sports.com/season/2024-football/transferportal/)

Haynes King needs to start texting some old teammates.

That was probably true if Jimbo had stayed. A&M grabbed a good one from the Dookies - may keep most of his guys around.

If I remember correctly, he was committed to GT during his recruiting cycle then flipped to Arkansas.

Annnnd I was wrong

Never admit you're wrong. It is what has gotten me to where I am today

Lb seemed like an area where could stand to improve. I think we're just young and haven't replaced charlie Thomas yet. I think we're losing 2 TE to graduation so we probably need a pick up there. Maybe a 3rd down back? Maybe more depth in secondary.

Totally agree. I once thought I made a mistake, but I was wrong.

Swimming in cooter and muff diving, of course.

Miami QB Van Dyke in the portal. Good news for us.

Not really, he was an interception machine

GT needs to add size on the DL

 

[BainbridgeJacket]

RB - replacing Smith. Need some thunder to offset the lightning we have coming back. Need a transfer with experience.
WR - we're going to lose 1-2 to the portal. If there's a good player available, maybe, but no need to reach for a rotational player.
TE - replacing Leonard and Benson. Need an experienced player out of the portal to rotate with Seither.
OL - replacing Scaglione. Probably 1 transfer out of this group as well. We seem to have names on the roster with size, but not a lot of PT, but I don't think there's a need to reach on anyone unless they're obviously someone who would get in the rotation.
DL - I expect some transfers out of this group. Bring in anyone with a chance of taking 15+% snaps this year. Seriously, if they have a semblance of promise.
LB - replacing Moala, White, and Oliver. <-- Is that right? We need at least one starter out of the portal and a rotational player to boot.
DB - replacing Sims and King. Likely to lose a transfer or two as well. Need to bring in a starter and a rotational player from the portal.

Given the momentum we are building, why do you expect so many transfers out?

Kids want to play.

I understand but the grass is not always greener.
