Portal Needs - 2024

Seems Nolen is trending to Ole Miss. Oregon needs to land the Michigan State DL who just visited.

insiders felt Nolan was going to stay CTH so not sure this is too surprising

Nelson likely entering the portal soon. But he strikes me as a QB who wants to play now and not face strong competition for QB1.

That one is a bummer, Nolen should look at Burch and realize the choice is clear, but if he wants to chase NIL money and underachieve at Ole Miss the choice is his.

Not sure we should get too worried about Oregon striking out on all these early target since the transfer portal window is open until January 2nd and Oregon got 9 portal guys last year after the early signing day.

A few things with the portal and people freaking out about it.

1. We have more talent on the roster now, so we are going to take less guys. The MOST IMPORTANT THING is still development of players on your roster and in your system. Guys like Dickey HAVE to be hits.
2. It's early still in terms of portal guys. There's still going to be lots of movement, even through spring ball.
3. It will be interesting to see heavy portal teams vs development going forward. Washington and Florida State were extremely successful portal teams the past 2 seasons. Bama/UGA/Michigan are taking less of those guys. I hate how easy it is to transfer and hope that changes going forward, but it's how the game is played for the time being.

The trend of FR transferring after 1 year is an interesting move to me and I don't know if players will adjust and recognize they only get that 1 free transfer until they get their degree.

Dickey is definitely a guy we need to see make that step next year at WR. On the DL, Amauri Washington seems to have been the True FR DT to get the most snaps and at 330, he fills a big spot in the middle. If we got 1 Transfer DT I think we're in really good shape with the younger DTs who also need reps.

The Portal is like the JuCo game where you're better off using it to supplement the roster year to year than you are trying to build through it. Plus with NIL, I think donors are more likely to give to proven players.

Oregon is in good position to get Dante Moore after this weekend's visit.

Hooray!

As long as he wasn't looking to start immediately, I would think Oregon would've been the favorite as soon as he entered the portal. Hopefully it sticks.

His big reason for leaving UCLA was because he didn’t feel like he got any development there. His family have really been critical of OS new OC. They don’t like him at all. A he wants to improve and doesn’t mind sitting a year.

Think he means Ryan Gunderson, who just got hired as the OC for Oregon State, but was the QB coach at UCLA this year.

Domani Jackson enters the portal. Seemed like he got burned a lot this year, but I wonder if Oregon coaches are interested.
