2023-2023 CFB Transfer Portal

[FloridaFrog76129]

Which one of them will backup Hoover if he's hurt? You're right in principle, but you can't enter a season with a QB group consisting of a sophomore and a true freshman.

Hoover won’t be the starter next year if we get a portal qb

 

[Traveling Frog]

The last two OL we landed were backups on two bad teams, North Texas and A&M. Which one is worse is up for debate. Find it interesting we are pursuing bodies that hard and also odd that both of them had decent offers.

 

[CryptoMiner]

3 star guy not on the 2 deep at A&M.

3rd string with some playing time.

Offers LSU, Houston, Cal, Colorado State, Kansas, UTSA, Illinois, Boston College, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Arizona State and SMU.

Need good depth. They all can’t start. But with the offers they were getting, I would say somebody thinks they can play

You’re way off.
Strickland had a crap load of offers and could be our new starting Center.
Sampson was a freshman and played quite a bit, which is rare for a freshman at OL.
At 6’-8 330, he’s got a good chance to be very successful.

To me this looks like try outs this spring on the o line with no one guaranteed a spot. It will be: impress us or take a hike. Next man up!

So Chandler entering the portal was a bit unexpected, no? Does that mean we have an incoming QB?

It was expected by many. TCU has been actively looking for QB transfers and Hoover is arguably equal to Morris with more durability.

Unexpected when so many were clamoring for him to be benched after his 3rd start and basically every start after. Absolutely no reason for him to stay after Hoover got all the starts even when Chan was cleared to play.

When was he cleared to play btw? I don’t remember hearing that…I mean I remember those last two games or so it was more of a “we could play him if we really need to” type of thing but that made me think he was never fully cleared.

Was he? Genuinely curious. That speaks even more volumes if he was indeed fully cleared and they still played Hoover.

 

[G Mother Froggen P]

Wish CM the best but his departure comforts me about him potentially winning that starting job in fall camp.. we’re in better hands with Hoover or the portal.

 

[Palliative Care]

Two years ago many fans here were raving about Chandler. They talk about how much better he was than Duggan. Chandler really had way too much bad luck here and Duggan was the beneficiary of it as To some extent Hoover. I wish you well Chandler Morris.

 

[Boomhauer]

Uh, Duggan should’ve started day 1. Chandler was the beneficiary of a poor coaching decision to start him.

 

[Frogfam4]

Maybe why morris entered the portal

 

[Palliative Care]

I believe that many times players leave because they get the message that the coaching staff has other plans that do not highlight them. That being said Morris was heading out the door on his own in my opinion. He needs a new start somewhere else. Now that the judge has lifted the rule that forbids a multi-transfer player from planning for a year, more players will leave their schools immediately rather than waiting to graduate.

Maybe why morris entered the portal

We've seen this movie before. He'll visit campus and then announce he's going to the U.

 

[McFroggin]

Maybe why morris entered the portal

Let’s just say we have been pushing hard for KJ. Hard enough that Chandler knows that if we miss on KJ, we will look for someone else.

 

[ShreveFrog]

If the money's equal, I'd think the Jefferson-Briles connection gives TCU the edge. Jefferson knows the offense. Briles knows Jefferson's strengths and weaknesses. Provides both sides a big head start going into spring.

I looked at the initial 247 national site summary of KJ's likely landing spots and that didn't list TCU at all, so at least we've made progress on this potential transfer to be in the final three. Miami really wants Cam Ward, and UCF doesn't seem like an obviously better landing spot than TCU (scheme and need being the obvious appeal, both of which you can say for us, too). I feel fairly good about our chances here, though I have no insider knowledge at all.

He also knows that even if we don’t he’s not first in line anymore.

Last I saw Cam was verballed to Miami, but I know he’s waffled a couple of times right before the dead period hit between FSU and the U. So if Cam is going to Miami, I think that’s suggesting KJ may be coming to TCU
