our only insider said staff is waiting on a kid who hasn't officially hit the portal yet and that the USC kid is pretty far down the list
Let’s start with former Tennessee linebacker Henry To’oto’o - and I’ll admit I have no clue what’s going on. Last week I was told from a very good source that T’oto’o was a done deal to Ohio State and that it should be announced early this week. So when Monday became a big portal day for entries as well as commitments, I expected it to happen. It didn’t. So I checked around and got a dozen different answers from different parties. Henry himself isn’t talking and neither are his father or former coaches. So I’ve been told the following and have no idea what to believe: - To’oto’o was supposed to enroll at Ohio State this week to be eligible for the fall, and to my knowledge he has not. But is that really true? My Ohio State contact said that is completely inaccurate. So, there is still a chance To’oto’o could end up with the Buckeyes, but according to my sources it should have happened by now. - I received a text from a coach recruiting To’oto’o to his school that simply said “Alabama,” but then checked with sources at Alabama and that’s apparently not the case. The SEC will apparently not vote on the intraconference transfer approval until June, so Alabama is stuck a bit as other conferences have already passed it. So the Tide wait. - Another school in the mix I've been told is Florida, but I’ve also heard an odd rumor about the intraconference transfer rule for the SEC. Apparently a player who just left an SEC program was told by the school that if he wants to go to another SEC program he’s going to either have to sit out a year or it will cost that SEC team two scholarships to land him. This is a cryptic preview of what the SEC could decide, although I don’t buy the two- scholarship deal at all. And I highly doubt the one-year sit out rule because the SEC is never going to put themselves at a competitive disadvantage in anything football, and that would hurt them a bit. Or will they? Another source told me that the SEC wants to set the bar for intraconference transfers and make it nearly impossible because the conference would essentially be a madhouse in the portal. By putting deterrents in place they avoid cannibalism of the conference as well as likely force the other conferences to eventually follow suit. After all, the word from the SEC will be that if you want to win national titles this is the conference you go to and we don’t need the intraconference mess to keep it that way.
So every team still has a 25 man limit and we've got 2000 kids in the portal. There's gonna be a ton of kids that have no place to go b/c teams don't have any room. or they are going ot have to pay their own way for a summer and go on scholly in the fall.
Yeah, that’s been reported a good bit. You’re absolutely right that a ton of kids are going to end up without a place to go to school because they thought they could transfer for playing time.
Kids should start looking at some HBCUs Willie Simmons has some room at FAMU Might be FCS but the ladies in town are still P5
Could be serviceable for a team with glaring holes along the OL, no offense. But apparently he was passed up by underclassmen including 2 true freshman.
Started one game last year and got some snaps against FSU last year when Eichenberg got eye poked. Like nexus said, serviceable and would be on the two deep at a lot of schools.
Our long-snapper had to play linebacker during the spring game. Sounds like that may have scared Henry a bit.
Believe the cap for counters in a class is 25 Read somewhere this would put Bama at 29 saban is a magician
Im hearing that Henry T saw game film of Pete Werner being assigned to cover the biletnikoff winner in the natty and had second thoughts about the Lb coaching at osu
