Yeah not impressed with Boswell either. Storr and Boswell don’t really impress me.

I’d take both, don’t get me wrong, but just not too excited.

I could name at least 8-10 players in the portal I would rather have...In fact I will:

Khalif Battle Arkansas
Cameron Corhen FSU
Trey Townsend Oakland
Johnell Davis FAU
Chris Johnson Texas
Kerr Krissa WV
V Goldin FAU
Ezra Ausar ECU
Omaha Biliew Iowa St.
Danny Wolf Yale

Of course the two biggest for next year in perfect world....Domask/CoHawk.

Dain Dainja to Memphis…

I actually think that is a really good fit for both player and coach. Just hope Coach don't let him get too much of that BBQ.

That was fast.

Anyone want to guess how much NIL Dain is getting?

I think they like Boswell, but he needs to actually enter the portal.

I think Dain to Memphis is a great fit. Hope he got a solid NIL and gets PT that maxes his pro exposure. Wonder if Minny didn't offer or cheaped out.

Shannon gone
Harmon gone
Guerrier gone
Dainja gone
Moretti might be gone
Harris might be gone
Domask might be back
Hawkins might be back
Gibbs-Lawhorn back
Hansberry back
Goode back
Rodgers  back
Johnson added
Butler added
Jakstys added
Davis added
Storr still likely

They are in on a lot of transfers so things are fluid.

Davis is supposedly getting preferred walkon status

CoHawk being gone is a knee jerk reaction....

Which could have easily been a knee jerk reaction.
Pharrell Payne with the gofs was talking about everybody returning. 2 days later he was in the portal.

There is talk about effectively creating a couple extra scholarships by giving PWOs large amounts of NIL cash. I'll believe that when it happens.

A loyalty insider offered his opinion that Davis should have been a PWO.

Davis has signed a financial aid scholarship agreement, so he won't be a walk on.

Hawkins is gonna do what is best for himself.

Scholarship limits really shouldn't be a problem with this much annual roster turnover. It's not like someone who shows up and sucks is going to be here in a year.

I hesitant about even wanting Hawkins back because the kid's played 4 years and should be building his pro career at this point. Another year in college is not helping him.
