But why? Huge Pappy fan?

Going to 15 personnel it seems! Wonder if this means something in terms of who’s coming back.

I like the addition though. We add a big strong experienced player.

No way the kid sticks.

Here’s a quick search:

Key Kickers in the 2026 Transfer Portal:

• Mateen Bhaghani (UCLA) 80% FG%. 5-9 from 50+ with a long of 57
• Max Gilbert (Tennessee): 74% FG% 5-9 from 50+ with a long of 53
• Abram Murray (Cal): 67% FG% long of 49, 0-0 from 50+

I'd be throwing all I can at the UCLA kicker

Still want to see what they look like in a total overhaul next year. They’re still going to be very good because their coach is an absolute fucking maniac (and I love that).

But they’re going to be very different that’s for sure

Seems like he fits in the type category of a lot of the players transferring out. He had tremendous potential.

Again…..love Day but his strategy to drain the clock…..play as few snaps as possible takes its toll on depth and ultimately roster. Of course the argument can be made that showcasing the talent only invites more NIL and Transfer attention. But the advantages of building true depth for deep playoff runs and in the event of injury surely is a net positive.

I’m not going to argue Hartlines track record but I will say his total disregard to play depth was frustrating.

Yeah, this seems like a smart choice by LK

If you are gonna swing big bags in the portal that should be saved for mostly proven experienced players. Of course all portal pickups carry their risks of not panning out at their new school but this is going to be one expensive flop if he never really develops into that potential you are hoping for here.

No doubt and I agree.

I don’t think you stop recruiting him but it’s fair to let him know what your final offer is. Then it’s his move from there and you can feel good about it.

Login to view embedded media Sure, blame the kids for hitting the Portal, but ignore the Coaches who are supposed to be the grown ups who leave the kids high and dry. And this coach is actually even in a position to win an NC and left. How do you expect kids to have any loyalty when these are supposed to be the mentors?

You keep making this point, but I'm guessing the people who don't like the overuse of the portal also don't approve of coaches abandoning their teams in the middle of a season either

So tired of always having to be force fed NFC East games all season. Living in the Midwest I give 0 fucks about Dallas, NY and Philly.

Sucks but with the reports of interest in DeAndre Moore I’m not shocked.

Would it, though? In 2025, he was:

6-7 from 20-29 (Fielding was 6-7, too)
7-8 from 30-39 (Fielding was 7-8, too)
7-8 from 40-49 (Fielding was 3-4 in 2025, but was 7-8 in 2024)
0-0 from 50+ (Fielding was 0-1)

He has a career-long of 50 made in 2024. Fielding has a career-long of 49 made in 2025z

He’s never missed a “very important kick” like Fielding has, but he’s also never had the opportunity to choke in a huge situation.

On paper, he’s basically the exact same player.

Yeah, seems like a decent kicker, but only a slight upgrade.

They keep thinking they are going to get some impact WR but why would any WR want to go play there if Marsh is still there?

Utah pretty much used 1 WR last year. Their #2 WR had 15 catches. scUMs #2 had 39 and even their #3 Semaj Morgan had 20. Utahs 2 TEs had about more catches than everyone outside of the #1 WR combined.

The offense is pretty much only friendly to a mobile QB RBs and TEs

So more of the same

Checking in on the OSU transfers from last season ...

Memphis was 4-7 following their December 20th loss at Mississippi State, and now stands at 7-7 after beating 3 mid- and low-majors. Of course, in the American Athletic Conference, the competition is not high-major, and Memphis has played the toughest part of their schedule already. Their best wins are Baylor & San Francisco, and they've lost to Ole Miss, UNLV, Purdue, Wake Forest, Louisville, Vandy and Mississippi State, so obviously they should not be a tournament team unless they win the AAC tournament. Aaron Bradshaw is exactly the type of player to put up better numbers against less strong and athletic competition, so his stats are obviously going to be inflated this season based on the caliber of opponent. That being said, so far he is coming off the bench half the games and averaging slightly more on the season than he did at OSU in terms of minutes, points, rebounds (only because of offensive rebounding - he actually is averaging fewer defensive rebounds), fouls and turnovers, but generally speaking he seems to be the same player he was last season.

Oregon is 8-6 now and has lost to Auburn, San Diego St, Creighton, USC, UCLA and Gonzaga. They have wins against Oregon St & Maryland. Sean Stewart also looks like basically the same player he was last season, although his minutes have increased slightly so far, he's committing about 1 foul less per game and 1 more point per game. Rebounding down slightly, and he's started almost half of the games so far. Oregon is also not on track to make the NCAA tournament at this point, although they've had each of their top-3 scorers miss 2 games this season.

South Carolina is 9-5 but they have no high-major wins and losses to Butler, Northwestern, VT, Clemson and Vandy. Meechie Johnson is leading the team with 13.6 ppg, up from 9.1 last season, and of course they have the bulk of the SEC schedule coming up. SC is more reliant on Meechie to lead them than OSU was, but they appear to be a worse team than OSU was last season & aren't on track to make the tournament. He is averaging about 1 minute, 1 shot, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 3 free throw attempts more per game. His FG% is up about 6% & FT% is up 25% so far compared with last season.
