Going to be very interesting to see how it shakes out. Would love to see it work out for Durkin to slide into an instant offense 6th man kind of role. Evans, Asuma, Grady, JCJ, Kordel - starting Durkin, Grove, Groves, Mpoyi, Tomes, Anderson, Shinholster? - reserves Tough to know what we are...

I feel confident Niko is going for guys he thinks will fit the system and be able to play quickly. Bonus if they are younger and have the potential to be around for multiple years as opposed to getting those guys that are guaranteed one and done types. In this current era it is much tougher to...

Crazy how it used to seem like 7'0" players were rare and now there are all these guys popping up that are well over that.

I'm all for getting guys that have the potential to be around multiple years but in this current landscape it is really hard to count on that. Maybe that starts to shift some with revenue sharing agreements but right now there are lots of guys seemingly picking a new school every year and...

Obviously injury concern is a worry, especially after this past year....but now is the time to think happy thoughts and assume it all going to work out :) My guess is that seeing Tyson have the success he did last year probably played a big role in his decision to come here.

Yeah....a high school kid might take all 5 visits even if they know where they want to go just to get wined and dined and have fun on a recruiting weekend. Transfer recruiting is very very different. No transfer is taking a visit just to take one. If a player goes somewhere it is because...

Yeah....poster is trying really hard to invent something that isn't there. Why would a transfer waste time taking a visit to a school they had no interest in attending?

Yeah, not too hard to figure out.....true freshman on a good team....minutes can be tough to come by unless you are an elite player.

I kind of feel like in this particular case the bad news part kind of makes the good news part fairly pointless :)

Has been interesting to see the different ways people view last season. For me, the way we played, especially late after all the injuries piled up, makes me excited to see what Niko can do when he has a full roster and much better luck on the injury front. The team we were rolling out late in...

Well said. If Evans ends up being the top player we bring in that would be disappointing but he definitely seems like someone who would be easy to fit into our current system with his history playing for Niko.

Yeah....it is a little odd at this point that we haven't gotten an indication either way from either of them. The return announcements have just become an expected part of the process at this point.

Still think this is more of a culture issue then an NIL one. Lots of athletes have fancy cars in both college and the NFL but Georgia seems to have way more issues with speeding and reckless driving then most places. I'm sure the Alabama and Ohio State players are driving just as fancy of cars...

Gotta think for any desirable player that goes in the portal the amount of contact they get is ridiculous. You have tons of teams all competing for the same handful of impact guys and everything in portal recruiting is shrunk down to a really tight window. The whole process has to be nuts for...

Kind of cool that after the really long drought we had with zero offensive lineman in the NFL we may have 2 starting for the same team next season.

Sure.....but that doesn't stop people from making crazy assumptions about how the coaches will certainly spend the money incorrectly. :)

Had a nice freshman year. Definitely fits the mold of what Niko seems to target in terms of bigger guys.

Over 5600 players in the portal.....unreal....

Football issue - but what happens to all the 30 year old Aussie punters out there?

Beat me too it.....obviously money is a big part of the equation for most players but doesn't necessarily mean they will always go to the highest bidder. Playing time, system fit, location....a lot of other factors go into these decisions.
