2023-2023 CFB Transfer Portal

Thanks. My head is starting to hurt.

I am not 100% sure how all this process works. I remember when the Arkansas RB showed up at UTSA instead of here and some other situtations as well so I know transfer rules are different from HS LOIs.

whelp it will cost a little more to sign him

All those top 5 recruiting classes and they have to go after a guy we want.

 

[gohornedfrogs]

I kinda admire this choice. Good for him.

I think the transfers sign a financial aid agreement, which is binding on the school but not the athlete.

I’m excited to welcome him if he wants to honor his commitment but not gonna lie - I won’t lose sleep if we missed out on any guy wanting to suck us in to bidding wars. Because in this case, A. It’s aggie and we wouldn’t win, and B. Do we really want (more of) that kind of attitude/mindset in the locker room?

Not saying that’s what’s happening here, but going forward I hope that’s generally how we play the recruitment/NIL game.

More proof we are looking for depth guys.

Think we give Diego Pavia a look, he seems like a Briles kinda qb

FANSIDED: Malachi Nelson transfer portal rumors: 5 best destinations for USC QB

3. TCU Horned Frogs are needing some juice with Chandler Morris out​

This is the first one where I sort of get it. TCU went from national runner-ups to not even making a bowl game a year later. Sonny Dykes had an extraordinary first year in Fort Worth after leaving nearby SMU in Dallas last season. Unfortunately, that season looks to have been an outlier, as the Horned Frogs regressed massively this past year. They went 5-7, meaning they were eight wins worse off...

I get that losing former offensive coordinator Garrett Riley very late in the cycle hurt the Horned Frogs, as well as seemingly everyone of note on offense turning pro. However, Dykes need to align himself with a star quarterback the caliber he had at Cal with Jared Goff and at TCU with Max Duggan. Nelson certainly checks that box, and could flourish playing in Kendal Briles' offensive system at TCU.

Briles' Air Raid is different than the one Lincoln Riley ran at USC. Riley's may be more balanced with a powerful running game attached to it, whereas Briles' is a bit more by the book, so to speak. It is not quite as passing-heavy as what the late, great Mike Leach ran for years at Texas Tech, Washington State and Mississippi State, but this is a scheme that would get Nelson to New York at some point.

TCU is only as good as their quarterback is, so losing Chandler Morris to the portal ain't no big thang.

I don’t want another Lincoln Riley reject. Look at all the dudes Riley let walk. Nothing great.

TCU apparently has shown interest in Nebraska QB transfer Purdy:

Former Nebraska quarterback receives multiple offers since entering transfer portal​

He has posted offers on social media from TCU, North Texas, and California. Thank you Nebraska and thank you Husker Nation for all your support. I have entered the portal and have 2 years left of eligibility. God bless you all.

He might be a good add. Purdy has flashed some good throwing skills and is a threat to run. He’d at least be good depth/backup for this year and a project for 2025.
22 years old.
He entered the portal because of the Dylan Raiola signing. Before that Rhule’s plan was to have Purdy and Haarburg compete for the starting role.

Boise St is pursuing and he has Cal. / N. Texas / TCU offers as well.

Yes, and Riley already said Malachi was 2 years from meaningful PT.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Purdy isn’t all that experienced after 4 years at FSU and Neb. Looks like a career 55% passer. I’d say he’d be a depth player behind Hoov.

 

[82 Frog Fever]

More proof we are looking for depth guys.

They’ve also offered Ken Seals out of Vanderbilt and Azle, Tx.
He has 2 yrs remaining and will be on campus Jan. 4th.

Auburn signs former Cal QB Sam Jackson V as a WR​

al.com on MSN.com|7 hours ago
In a fascinating late Wednesday night addition, Auburn announced the signing of former Cal quarterback Sam Jackson V as a wide receiver out of the transfer portal. Jackson faced Auburn in the second game of the 2023 season and threw for 129 yards and two interceptions against Auburn's defense in Berkeley. Auburn won the game 14-10 on Sept. 9.

This big RB, Ja’Quinden Jackson, entered the portal yesterday. He’s from Duncanville & was originally a UT QB before going to Utah as an RB.
He could be a perfect fit coming back home to fill our RB needs.

 

[82 Frog Fever]

Hmmmm.

 

[This Ain't Chopped Liver]

Frogs may get Ken Seals because of circumstances. A Weatherford kid who grew up a fan of TCU and has his degree from prestigious Vanderbilt and now may want to return home to reestablish DFW roots for a future career, earning a graduate degree from TCU while being one Hoover injury away from playing.

 

[An-Cap Frog]

Hmmmm.

So there's a chance.

What happened to all the posts about how we wouldn't be going after Jefferson because we could do better? Unless we're going to land Jefferson or some equivalent QB target and the artist Seal, two years of data suggest that TCU isn't able to land a covered QB transfer. That's fine, if so. Plenty of decent programs probably can't. But if that's how it is you need to be extra careful to keep your prized HS recruits happy. If we want another Max, we need to develop him here, like the actual Max.

 

[An-Cap Frog]

I like Jefferson, but he actually might fit better in a Gus Malzahn offense.
