If it is accurate, cool! Using the On3 link provided above (thank you).

At this point, they all have their plane tickets, hotel reservations, etc. Probably not too much movement til after the bowl.

Tyler Foster and Mason Williams would have been a dynamic TE duo this. Keegan Wilburn would be an explosive returner for us. If you were against the portal last year, how do you feel about it in year two?

I'm expecting the same this year.

If you were against the portal last year, how do you feel about it in year two? I don't disagree with this but oddly enough, if we keep all the guys who left and don't get any of the guys who replaced them, are we any better than 10-3 and MAC champs? I would say we wouldn't be. Tyus>Sieh; Owen>Jacoby; Williams>Foster; Heidecker=Danneker; Keye T>Leake (but not by a ton) and Torrie Cox>Dustin J (but not by a ton). Obviously Kurtis is better than Parker but Parker has won more bowls and more MAC titles than Kurtis so.......

The portal is open thru December 28. I’m waiting to see if -anybody leaves after the bowl game and if any of them move to charlotte. Will be an interesting period in the upcoming few weeks.

He tested the portal last year - if we have any NIL money I’d try to cut him as good of a deal as possible.

And, I believe, his parents are Ohio alum, although I could be wrong. Still, a little NIL love can't hurt.

One possibility is that all the grumbling/unhappy people left last year, and the team was simply "more fun" this year with everyone happy to be at Ohio. That's a very good thing about the portal; people don't have to stay where they don't want to be, so if they aren't happy, rather than grumbling, they can just leave. Probably at least a few Ohio players will enter the portal after the bowl game, but for now, they want to stick together and have fun as a team for one more game. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top OhioCatFan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 14,312 Status: Offline     RE: 2025 Portal Tracker    Posted: 12/13/2024 11:52:22 AM  L.C. wrote: OhioCatFan wrote: Mike Coleman wrote: Eric Decker reports Ohio is the only team in FBS without a single player in the portal to this point.

L.C., I believe you're on to something. I'll pile on and add another potential factor for the lack of portal entrants thus far: Albin's botched departure on the night of the championship was no doubt a very challenging situation for the team. I think facing that kind of adversity as a unit may have galvanized them somewhat...a kind of "us against the world" mentality.
