Daniels in portal

Donate To GopherHole






I don't know if NIL has anything much to do with it (probably some), but it does hurt when a guy who was likely slated to be a contributor (perhaps starter) on the O-line up and leaves.

Portal is full of quality linemen and we do got some young studs too
 



So is this a case where he thinks he's worth more in NIL than whatever he's getting? Or isn't a fit with the culture? Seems odd when you're projected to be a starter as a R-So and you up and leave. Starting jobs at the B1G level don't grow on trees. But trying to use logic in this wild west is often a fool's errand.
 







Well in the NFL, tackles are a big deal. Maybe, somebody said...Hey, come play for us, we'll pay you a lot of money. Or maybe, as stated...he's homesick. Or maybe...??
Maybe his dad knows Belichick?

Probably a little of column A....some of column B but the reality is we will almost certainly never know for sure.

When a bench player transfers it is pretty easy to figure out why. When a projected starter leaves it is a different story. Losses like these sting but they happen.
 

according to the roster - these are the OL (as of today) who have eligibility remaining.

Nathan Roy (3 yrs left)
Spencer Alvarez (2 yrs)
Jerome Williams (3 yrs)
Brett Carroll (3 yrs)
Jackson Hunter (1 yr)
Tony Nelson (2 yrs)
Greg Johnson (2 yrs)
Aluma Nkele (1 yr)
Martes Lewis (1 yr)
Reese Tripp (3 yrs)
Ashton Beers (2 yrs) --- whoops, missed him.
-------
incoming true FR
Mark Handy
Nick Spence
Kaveon Lee
Daniel Shipp


so the starting Oline, if a game was being played today -
Johnson - Nelson - Lewis - ?? - ??

Probably move Nkele over to RT, and Beers plays G?

Roy and Carroll have 4 yrs left. They’re RS freshman. I think they both have a chance to start .

Kinda thinking the same thing. A few of our returning starters did enough to merit playing time on a different P4 team, but I don't think Daniels is one of them.

List is missing Beers who will almost certainly be in the mix next year since he started some games this year. Would expect a transfer or two as well.
 



I would bet that this is a situation where the player felt he was worth more than the NIL deal he was offered.
