Kept flipping back and forth between the games, trying to catch Bangura or Buell to no avail. Buell may have seen the field, but I didn't catch it. We talk about how losing Jacoby hurts, and I agree to an extent, only because his recovery from a really nasty injury injects some uncertainty. To me, the one that hurts is Kacmarek. His size, blocking ability and decent hands made him stand out in my mind. I've liked the way that guy plays from day one. He's 2nd on the depth chart at tOSU, and one would think that he will see some playing time there. I think he could have been a monster in Athens his last couple years. I am less worried about Will. He was/is a great talent but I think the Williams/Bruno combo with Butler tossed in will be just fine.

What a waste of talent that could be playing at Ohio. He'll get some carries later in the year as guys go through inevitable injuries, but not enough to highlight his skills. After watching Rickey Hunt Jr in that bowl game I think some of Sieh’s carries would have started to get taken away from him here too. I’m hoping for a great year from Rickey and then finding enough money to get him to stay for one more year before he hits the portal.

Atleast he got paid for it but is that cold weather up there worth it? Minnesota RBs don't tend to last a full season because they don't throw the ball well in Big18 🤪 play. Hopefully he sees some tick in conference play. Was Sieh a good pass blocker at OU? That will definitely lower your depth chart rating in Big18 🤪 conference.

At least he came away with something. He has dollars, and he still has a scholarship, too. The ugly side is the players who came away with nothing at all. Players voluntarily gave up their scholarships, and some got no new offers. Where are they today? If they got their degree first, they can move on to a decent job, but if they were still undergraduates, they come away with nothing at all. That, right there, is the ugly side. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top JimLurker34 General User Member Since: 12/7/2023 Location: McArthur, OH Post Count: 215 Status: Offline     RE: Transfer Portal    Posted: 9/9/2024 10:42:48 AM  RufusCat09 wrote: cbarber357 wrote: Chris Galloway wrote: I watched that UNC-Minn game last night thinking the same.

I know the coaching staff has loyalty to returing players, but looking objectively I think he should be third behind Tyus and Hunt.

I'd take Tyus over Bangura any day of the week. Perhaps, by the end of the season I'll change my tune, but right now the combination of Hunt and Tyus at RB looks to me to be the strongest we've had in quite a long while.

Yes, that's an ugly side too. But that decision is on the athlete (entering the portal) as you stated: "Players voluntarily gave up their scholarships" .... It's risky to enter the portal when you're not producing big stats. You're less likely to go P4 unless you have a big frame, blazing speed, ties/connections, etc. Sometimes, even with stats, you may have other weaknesses that get exposed at the new school causing you to fall on the depth chart. I truly hope the ones that did not find a new home eventually find one in order to get their degree and play well. Back to Top L.C.

Players now have the option of keeping what they have, or taking a chance on what's behind Door #1. For some, it will work out well. For others, not so well. Either way, I hope they do find a new school, and manage to get a degree.

As much as I would have loved to have him back, I think CJ Harris made a smart move by going for a graduate degree at Cal. Doesn’t seem like many other players have that in mind when entering the portal though.

That said he probably saw 42 portal receivers coming in and was like WTH MAN. But other than Owen, not much to be impressed about from our end.
