Portal time 25-26

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

Feel like we really needs some DL guys still. A whole lot entered the portal and it doesn't seem like we have come close to replacing the numbers. I don't care how great our new LBs and DBs are, without any DL pressure they will get picked apart and look sub par. We need some DL help in a big way.

I think numbers-wise, we aren’t far off from the tally on last year’s roster. I am surprised that we haven’t signed a player classified as “edge” in the portal yet.

One thing to consider, is that the staff could view some incoming freshman as better than what we can afford to pay in the portal. Most of the signees will be here for spring ball so it is possible to still add players after spring if they have already entered the portal.

Too your point, 3 of our top 8 ranked recruits are Edge Rushers. Our top rated Edge, Manny Lewis from Marvin Ridge, had several P4 offers (have no idea if committable offers).

At the very least, he could scare some folks stepping off the bus while looking like "Mongo".

Apparently THC vape (but didn't get a drug charge) and would need to look into the conceal carry charge, thought it should be legal with FL's const carry law. But maybe he was under 21, which then to me still shouldn't be a charge.

He was 22 according to article. I would assume the gun charge was because of the other charge. He blew a 0.000 and THC is not illegal so all charges were dropped.

Yeah, guess the gun charge was because of the drug. But that is weird since he didn't get a drug charge. But the "illegal concealed carry" should not have been a charge unless it was a prohibited area, but that is more law than I want to dive into.

At 6'8" and 320 the gun would be the least of my concerns. Glad he's one of us.

Dude needed to up-size on firearms. A Desert Eagle would probably fit his hand perfectly.
