Kind of in a "shoot the messenger" mood after that last outgoing update, though.

Bellychick trying to poach amaris. Not sure it’s a done deal yet. But yeah that would suck. Bad.

Add 6'5" 315 O-lineman, Mason Murphy, to the list.  Transfer from USC.  Started every game this year for the Men From Troy.

This guy, and the monster from VT, appear to be automatic upgrades for that unit.  But then again, I thought Big Tub-O-Goo Percy was too. If they are upgrades, next season just got a little more interesting.

Since the thorn in our side, not Peeton, but Diego Pavia, got the JUCO eligibility rule changed, things are going to be a bit different.  Big Tub-O-Goo Percy, now has another year left, so he jumped in the portal.  Izavion Miller now has another year, if he chooses to use it.

Also, everyone's favorite, Keionte Scott, has left the building.  I remember being so pumped about that guy's future.  Shitcherpants fast.  I think he got worse every year.

Keionte Scott went from a playmaker in Roberts defense to a major liability in Durkin’s defense.

Straight-line speed is off the charts and served him well in his “creeper” role in blitz packages. The move to outside corner only showcased stiff hips and how not to cover SEC caliber receivers.

He should transfer to Baylor and fill that nickel role for Aranda, since his defense is mostly a carbon copy of what Roberts did.

Don’t forget how he forgot what a punt return was…

No portal for Jeremiah Wright.  Don't know how good our O-line will be, but it will be incredibly experienced.

Apparently Jeffery M'ba is/has been on campus looking at a return.

He looks the part.  Did he get any better while he was gone?

Y'all reckon Ole Hars is gonna try and portal his son (a QB) from Idaho State to Cal now that he's OC and their QB (who was a nightmare against us this year) is goneski?

Nope.

He helps raise the floor of the DL room but not any on the ceiling. Apparently he has low stamina and can only see out of one eye. Seriously. Very much a Terrance Cody/Leonard Davis type on situational, not an every down type player. Never will be.

I thought we won the portal. 

So far this week I've seen LSU, Missouri, Arkansas, Ole Miss, and Tennessee claim to have won it, just in the SEC alone. 

Did we lose the portal?

With the influx of tackles from USC and VT, it looks like for the first time in fo-evah, we may have some real competition and choices to make on the O-line.
