If you think BYU has a lot of people leaving

Kalani needs to feast at the portal buffet and build a new team

2FarGone

12/5/22 4:51pm

not easy when Admissions controls who gets reservations..

TheLost

12/5/22 4:52pm

But at least it is easier to get in as a transfer student

Nat Gas Man

12/5/22 4:53pm

Why do we think the portal players will be an upgrade?

Cthack1

Did you watch any BYU football this year?

Lifi

Because on CB, everyone new coming in is better than who we have.

Bluforever

12/5/22 5:02pm

Because BYU has had good results with incoming transfers.

kccougar

12/5/22 5:03pm

In my recollection, I can easily name a bunch that transferred to BYU and

crack

12/5/22 5:06pm

Exactly. Puka, Samson, Brooks, Kingsley....

Tafua never came, he committed went a mission and transferred, never set foot in

BYU Grounds

12/5/22 5:32pm

That's the point...he left BYU because he didn't like what he saw....

wilsdad

12/9/22 11:01am

The question is how many incoming transfers have not worked out.

kccougar

12/5/22 5:27pm

A fair few....but we don't remember them...just the guys who were awesome.

wilsdad

12/5/22 5:30pm

Did we really?

byucougarsbig12

12/5/22 5:49pm

What transfers has BYU brought in that didn't compete for starting positions?

kccougar

12/5/22 7:55pm

well for one, they'll replace portal vacancies. And any player >no player.

Cougarclaw

The reason the Cincinnati Bearcats were so good in 2021 is the transfer portal.

byucougarsbig12

12/5/22 5:32pm

I’ll bet Colorado turns over at least half their team

Nat Gas Man

12/5/22 5:36pm

But I'll go out on a limb and say we don't want anyone who would be leaving

AlternateShot

12/5/22 6:13pm

Should be easy to find a bunch of 21 year olds who won’t be able to

Stalwartbob

Kalani trying to get past Deion Sanders and Hugh Freeze

Coach's Dad

12/5/22 5:45pm

If only...

AlternateShot

12/5/22 6:14pm

So many cautionary tales incoming

Turnpike Lane

12/5/22 5:00pm

I was just wondering what percentage of players that transfer later regret it

Metallicat

12/5/22 5:05pm

the good news is the number of scholarships is the same, and NIL

Cougarclaw

12/5/22 5:14pm

A bunch of experienced FCS players that bloomed late will be in the mix as well

Nat Gas Man

RE: If you think BYU has a lot of people leaving

Sale

12/5/22 5:05pm

Yet increasingly high number of portal players are not finding new homes.

Big Daddy D

12/5/22 5:21pm

Crazy how many transfers there are from good teams

gww687

12/5/22 8:11pm

Starters from good teams or 2nd / 3rd stringers? Starters from good teams don’t

Stalwartbob

12/5/22 8:29pm

Yeah they do, tons of starters are bailing for more exposure or money

Ghost Pirate LeChuck

12/5/22 8:54pm

From “ good” teams? Who?

Stalwartbob

12/5/22 9:02pm

How about DJ the QB from Clemson? Spencer Sanders from OK State?

moknowssports

12/5/22 10:02pm

The QB from Clemson lost his job, so he’s gone.

Stalwartbob

12/5/22 10:06pm

Sanders was there this year. You didn’t ask WHY they left you asked WHO left

moknowssports

12/5/22 10:11pm

Sanders transferred to South Carolina after he lost his job at Okie St.

Stalwartbob

12/5/22 10:17pm

That was Spencer Rattler. Not Sanders. OK State and Clemson losing guys who

moknowssports

12/6/22 12:12am

Oops, you are correct Rattler lost job to Sanders, transferred.

Stalwartbob

12/6/22 7:37am

To your point. Dillon Gabriel would have started at UCF, was recruited to

Stalwartbob

12/5/22 10:28pm

The way Fisher has been recruiting at A&M you are going to have many

Stalwartbob

12/5/22 10:36pm

DJ will probably want to come West. Maybe OR for two year?

Nat Gas Man

12/5/22 10:06pm

He got over a million bucks in NIL money before he played a game at Clemson.

Stalwartbob

12/5/22 10:24pm

He is done. Not sure Chip would give a very long leash. Kid would have to improv

Nat Gas Man

12/5/22 10:33pm

I agree, he can’t pass. but Chip like QB’s who can run a bit.

Stalwartbob

12/5/22 10:40pm

Pitt won the ACC last year in and still lost their blietnkoff winner Jordan

Rat

12/6/22 2:02am

I wasn’t specifically calling out starter, just lots of players from programs

gww687

12/5/22 9:57pm

You’re right, lots of transfers.
