Yeah, when he got chased down against Indiana, that was not the best of looks.

every team will lose players that they value
i’m no insider , but there will undoubtedly be more

Doesn't strike me as super important for a slot guy, always thought he had great acceleration and lateral quickness. He also is always open, so I'd assume he's a great route runner as well. Hoping he can show up in the combine or senior day and sneak into the draft late.
Oh boy is Love the beginning of the dominoes?
There’s gonna be transfers out every year
NFL scouts think it’s important so
is it wrong to believe Valentine has more talent than Love?
I guess, if you're the Patriots

Welcome to college FB , circa 2023 Portal Era........................It happens , just gotta replace at least what we lose and then plug holes we already had................It certainly isn't like the old days of committing and then usually playing 3-4 years at one place......JMHO
Jordan Anderson will be definitely the featured back. The coaches love him. Big back with speed & a excellent receiver out of the back field. Feagin will eventually be on the defensive side.

the League really really values sticky hands, speed , and heightNFL scouts think it’s important so
Isiah joined us when we were down and played well.
Positives
- quick feet
- reasonably fast
- good hands
Negatives
- small size
- lack of elite straight line speed
- average ability to elevate for contested catches
- fumbles too much to be punt return
If he could make 6 figures at NIL he should take it. He is a good college player. JMO He will struggle to play on Sundays.

Interestingly, I've been waiting 3-4 years for those deep post patterns to IW --- with him creating space and running free 25+ yards downfield. Those opportunities finally came to fruition late this past season, but it really took Paddock at QB to make those routes successful on a consistent basis.
I'm now counting on Altmyer to continue that trend as Paddock graduates and L.A. re-assumes the role.
These kids are not stupid. They look at the depth chart, just as we do. Feagin, before injury, started getting the bulk of the carries. There's another highly recruited kid coming in. This is what the portal has created. We'll benefit from it as well. No sense in worrying about it. We'll have 6-8 leaving and we'll have 6-8 showing up. This is the new normal, so we just as well embrace it.
Wrong? No. Uninformed and hopeful? Yes.
We've never seen Valentine play one second of college ball. Love was highly recruited as well. None of us know that answer, but at the same time, it's not wrong to believe it.
NFL drafts based on measurables and potential. In general, I'd rather be a UFA vs a low round pick - it greatly increases the odds of you finding a good fit
Hopefully they present 6 of them!
*Scratches head* JCA alum?
They're about the same recruiting wise...
Valentine is 88th RB and Love looks like he was 86th?
