We don’t need safety in the portal. WR and CB got addressed which is great. LB and DL would be great and maybe OL as well but we’re starting to ask for a lot

59 total tackles this year on the D Line.
There's a run stuffer on the edge. I like the pickup.

That's a lot of tackles for a DE, but when are we gonna add some actual pass rushers?
I feel like Jack Limbaugh plays early, DE in this class.
He needs to add some weight. Only 225 I believe.
Linebacker isn’t going to be one of them. I haven’t seen anything about an OL yet, though maybe they’re just being picky.
A big WR (Malachi Coleman may or may not be in the mix) and maybe another DL after grabbing a cannon appear to be it for the moment.
It remains to be seen whether or not the Butler did it.
It’s not that I didn’t see the question, but the furnace went on the fritz Thursday night (of course, when it was down to nine degrees), spent most of the night fussing with it, and then got two hours of sleep before someone woke me up at 5:30.
Playing catchup today, will answer when I can. Sorry!
The 12 team playoff could be a new portal dynamic. I haven't checked to see what kind of outgoing portal activity there is for those 12 teams, but maybe there is a series of waves of players entering the portal between now right after new years. As teams lose, guys will announce.
What is ISU going to do at LB for the bowl game? Are they expecting to get a couple guys back? With two starters from the Big 12 championship already in the portal it will be interesting to see who the Clones will roll out there.

I wouldn't be surprised. He has a lot of potential. I just hope he doesn't end up being a 280 lb strong side DE. We need some of these kids to be speed rushers, all we basically have now is the big power rushers who don't get much pressure.

Really nice vertical threat guy! Still hope we add Javon Tracy though.
Now we really need an o-lineman and an edge rusher. Would love to get that corner from Miami Ohio also.
Will Bacon play? Heard he might be able to, but not sure if he wants the medical redshirt and how that might be affected. Brazina probably good to go too.
Yeah, I’m starting a rumor just for fun. Sure. Obviously, I hope it doesn’t happen just like I home Don Orange decides stay one more year. But we’re likely talking more money than most of us make in 5 years.
