New NCAA process for transferring that went into effect in October. If an athlete tells their coaches/admin in writing they intend to transfer, then their info must be put into the portal to inform other coaches they can be contacted and to facilitate paperwork. It replaces the "permission to contact" system, so schools can't deny/delay giving athletes permission be contacted by other schools anymore. If an athlete asks to be put into the portal and doesn't transfer, their current school no longer is obligated to keep them on the team/scholarship. He could stay if he changes his mind and Georgia still wants him.
I see on 247 that Sean Scherer (MSU guru) flipped his CB on Keith Randolph from MSU to the beloved!
Also, Hookfin looked like a Texas lock on 247 until this afternoon. Now looking heavily Baylor.

This would not play in or favor. Fields can pick his university. He is one of the highest rated qbs out of high school, ever
With that speed, he will see the field a lot in his freshman season.
The choice to start From over fields was a choice similar to what Clemson had to make. Clemson chose the Larence, they lost kelly. Georgia started Fromm, they lost Fields.
I hope this isn’t a precursor to Illinois’ choice next year. Start Williams lose all underclass qbs. Start Anyone else, lose Williams.

Honestly, I don't think anyone even noticed. /s
What is his listed height?

In fairness to the 4 guys you mentioned at Clemson and Georgia. Our QB decision doesn’t even compare. All four of those guys were studs coming out of high school and most likely will be NFL draft picks at some point. Outside of Rivers I would argue the other two QBs currently on our roster would have few P5 teams even willing to take them as transfers. Not a knock on them, just the facts.
Once again, we are the only high major program that recruited Williams as a QB. Will he have a shot at winning the QB job next year, probably. Was the conversation had during his recruitment that he may be the backup, but see the field as a WR? I sure as hell hope so!

But did we not run the 4-2-5 mostly because of our lack of decent LB depth? Not that is will be solid with the addition of Shammond, but still much better than last year.
Basically we feel great about:
- Luke Ford
- Cooper
- Randolph
- Thomas (if he gets his waiver)
- AD Miller
And still a strong suitor for the one and only:
- Tate (Has to do a lot still in order to be eligible as a grad transfer)
Current commits:
- Cumby is good to go
- Coleman is totally up in the air

Last minute FSU offer for Randolph tonight
He already announced he is signing, unless that's a dream school of his, i dont think it matters.
I agree, i was mostly pointing out that our qb situation could get prickly next year. We had 3 freshmen last year. At some point, one will leave. A 2nd will likely leave when iw moves up a spot on the depth chart
