Do this every year, great resource for info

Post what you know but try to not repost something that's already been posted

I've noticed a few players are already entering the transfer portal, does that mean they WILL NOT play in their bowl game??

Example is this:

Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz, a former top-25 national recruit who started the past 32 games for the Badgers, will enter the transfer portal

 

[HotRocks]

Liberty is hiring Jamey Chadwell as its new coach, with sources telling ESPN that Chadwell has agreed to a seven-year deal that averages more than $4 million per year.

Chadwell has been one of the best coaches in the sport the past three years, going 31-6 at Coastal Carolina.

Also...

The Chanticleers have hired NC State offensive coordinator Tim Beck to be their new head coach.


***Not sure if these coaches will be with their old teams or new teams

Rara Thomas announced Friday that he plans to enter the transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining. A 6-foot-2 former three-star recruit from Eufaula, Alabama, Thomas saw his production skyrocket after catching 18 passes and five touchdowns as a freshman in 2021.

As a sophomore this season, he led Mississippi State with 626 receiving yards. He ranked second on the team in receiving touchdowns (7) and fourth in receptions (44).

Great thread every year!

Might be wise to place bets now against teams with NFL potential QBs that will probably announce withdrawal from bowl game, soon.

 

[Knightrofins]

I was just about to start a thread like this. Glad you beat me to it!!

UCF has had 4 key players announce that they are headed to the transfer portal

Florida gators have 27 players NOT playing in their bowl game

Clemson Tigers QB DJ Uiagalelei enters transfer portal​

 

[HotRocks]

Who can clarify for everyone

If a player enters the portal does that mean he is no longer on the team and cannot play in any bowl game?

Basically, he's done for the year, right?

Clemson Tigers QB DJ Uiagalelei enters transfer portal​

Which qb for Clemson is he? Is he the qb that played NC?

 

[HotRocks]

Ohio State's Jaxon Smith-Njigba headed to draft, out for CFP​

 

[HotRocks]

Which qb for Clemson is he? Is he the qb that played NC?

He was starter all year that isn't that good, the backup that came in vs NC is the starter going forward

 

[z71454]

He was starter all year that isn't that good, the backup that came in vs NC is the starter going forward

Thanks
