It looks like the WR and ND are no longer considering each other (ND may be full now) so he is down to UW and Miami. Unless Miami tries to buy him, I think he pops to UW.
 
He looks fast. Hope he comes here. There was another wr we were in on that just committed to ucla. I think the dominos have fallen.
 
And besides Lyons, Juco CB Channing Canada (great porn name) is taking an OV this weekend.
 
I realize the portal changes how quickly you can rebuild a program … but doesn’t it feel like there’s going to be a very definitive bottoming out of young developing talent on this roster at some point in the near future?

I'm not sure I follow you, do you mean that the newish staff is focusing more on transfers and Jucos and less on getting in high school kids that they can develop for a year or two before they start?

Pretty much

I view JCs and transfers as routes to augment gaps in your roster and not as an annual solution

The more years that you lean on JCs and transfers to field a roster the more that you’re effectively going to require more numbers to fill those holes

That doesn’t even account for the lack of depth (big factor in ASU loss) that this approach almost assuredly will result in

82 of the 114 players on this year's team are underclassmen and we have 18 commits for this year's class. I think the coaches realize they need someone to bridge the gap next year given how our freshmen and sophomore DBs played this year. I'm not seeing the JUCO or Portal route helping out any other position groups, so it might not be a major concern

Let’s look at the numbers after the season … I suspect there are going to be some players portaling out as well
 
Definitely, at least two DBs and maybe 1 OL, 1 DL will portal out.

I see at least two DBs coming in via JC or portals coming in and maybe a QB depending on what happens with Lincoln K. Probably 1 more player at another position (DE or LB). But still that would only be 4 or 5.

Yeah, I'm expecting 6-8 players portaling after the season, plus a few others retiring. I still think DB is the only one where we'd consider a portal or JUCO, thought I wouldn't be surprised what happens with QB when Keinholz flips to tOSU.

With the way things are with programs and portals I’d baseline 10+ for basically any program

Perhaps I’ll go through the roster after the season and look at what players I think are an early departure risk for whatever reason
