Koi Perich Transfer Portal

[USAF]

I knew something was up in the Bowl game with him. When he was tossing the ball to officials, it was like he was throwing the ball into PJ'S face.

Yeah, had the same feeling. He also just dropped the ball straight down after fielding a punt, rather than hamd it to an official.
Clearly not following RTB protocol. And pretty clearly intentional.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Twitter says he has multiple big time suitors and it will be hard to keep him.

The fact that these things are widely known before the portal even opens is part of the problem. It’s the Wild West out there.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

I won't lose any sleep over a guy that doesn't want to be here. Spend Koi's NIL cash wisely, PJ.

See ya, Legend.

Right. Either you're part of the solution or you're not. If you're not up to the task, good luck to you.

F off.

 

[upnorthkid]

He can enjoy losing to Louisville instead.

Id guess he ends up at OSU.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Well good news is Menz is back.

 

[Gopherchase]

The fact that these things are widely known before the portal even opens is part of the problem. It’s the Wild West out there.

At this point, I wouldn’t even try to keep him probably not great for morale. My guess is PJ will let him move on without trying too hard to keep him.

 

[Whytetale]

Why would he have played in the bowl game? Makes zero sense to play in the prestigious Rate Bow if you’re planning on transferring…

Money

I wouldn’t say it’s virtually zero, but I don’t like our odds in this case. Maybe 10% chance at best, just my gut feeling. Emmet Johnson is an example of someone who entered and then stayed with Nebraska. It happens a fair bit.

More like 1%, especially since we're not Nebraska.

 

[howeda7]

Id guess he ends up at OSU.

Smart if he's doing this for "winning". Congrats to Miami on a great season but I wouldn't assume the're a CFP lock next year.

 

[Gopherchase]

Maybe after his up-and-down year there’s a little bit of doubt that crept in on his NFL prospects so he figured he had better cash in as much as he could on NIL?

Agreed on that. If it’s Miami I guess it would be for heatherman rather than money

 

[btowngopher]

More like 1%, especially since we're not Nebraska.

I can’t recall any examples of Gophers entering and then coming back.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Coney Durr giving it to Koi. Don't mind it, NGL.

Danny Collins' HVAC defensive scheme probably didn't help.

 

[bonin21]

This kid was already checked out before the season started

It’s pro sports now, can’t even fault a kid for chasing life changing money.

 

[upnorthkid]

Damn coney lettin him have it

 

[btowngopher]

[WayOfTheGopher]

I guess that Jeep money wasn't enough.

 

[DarthGopher]

He isn't wrong.

Never attach your happiness to a team or individuals who could give two shits less about you. He had a 'meh' season imho. Some highs, some lows. Didn't think his coverage was particularly great. They gave him everything he could have asked for, and it still wasn't enough for his ego.

 

[howeda7]

We essentially have a salary cap league now, just with uneven caps. Don't want to waste a big chunk of Minnesota's on someone who doesn't want to be here just because he's "one of us"...

 

[Yah-E]

Just don’t end up in IOWA or Wisconsin.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

If it’s OSU and they think he’s going to come in and have a seamless transition from Caleb Downs, I have to question their talent evaluation ability.

 

[Gopherchase]

Having Fame leave gives me some pause as I thought we could win with him in the conference, but I’d be fine if Taylor left and we redistributed his NIL.

 

[btowngopher]

The kid visiting from SW MN St must’ve scared him off.

 

[MaxyJR1]

The kid visiting from SW MN St must’ve scared him off.

That was the sign

 

[MaxyJR1]

He has some feelings

 

[Bring back the Axe]

Koi seems like a headache and frankly he wasn't very good this year. Best of luck to him, and more NIL for us to use elsewhere.

 

[GooningGopher]

Would you want to play for this DC another year?

 

[DarthGopher]

I got the same sense watching his body language. It was off all year, and he had a B- season at best.
