Bear Down Wildcats

Adios Stevie and thanks. Best of luck to you.

Williams, Wiley, Mclachlen, Cowing, Morgan, and several on the D line. Shit.

That's a serious hit to our playmakers.

Not worried in the least bit

Two of our best of three running backs. One of out two of our best receivers. Our likely to be All American tight end. Our best O lineman. A few of our stud D lineman.

You should be at least slightly concerned.

Why are they all transferring?

Lots of good RBs still in the system plus good recruits and a transfer power guy would love to come

Same for WR. Lots of talent in the room

Burnett did much better this year. Will take a little bit at TE but all good

Oline has tons of talent and now UA is the perfect spot for a good transfer if Fisch feels the need for one

Dline has been solid but transfers the late two years played major roles. Why would the staff not be able to do it again? UA is becoming a premier transfer spot.

So yeah not worried at all

I was the one who said not to worry when the losers freaked out about losing one transfer in basketball

The reason has to be NIL related to see how they can get more exposure and $. Guess that’s just the new landscape of college football so don’t blame them for trying to cash in on a great season.

Only rocker has announced he is transferring. Rest are out of eligibility (although I thought I saw Williams could apply for one more year if he wanted)

My own farts don't really bother me either.

I thought it was pretty universal that everyone was glad to see Kriisa go. Only recall one person getting butthurt over Kriisa's comments, which were in jest.

We should be fine. Just looking at the skill positions, we had players like Coleman step up and become a star this year. Speedy will also get plenty of PT next year, and I think he could have a breakout season next year. Same goes for Burnett at TE. Cowling was a difference make from day 1, and will be missed, but both Green Jr. and Riley have shown potential in limited reps this year.

Along the lines, it's more difficult because these guys don't get the glory. But Fisch has been very successful getting a couple of guys from the portal, and see no reason why that won't continue. Plus guys from the last two classes should be ready to step in and step up.

Every college football teams lose major contributors every year. Fisch just seems to have a plan, and he's been following it since day 1. I was a skeptic at first, like many here, but consider me converted into a believer. I trust Fisch and the staff to put together another solid team.

On the DLine both Norton and Sio can come back and play another year. They are considering it and I think they will come back.

We do need a power back to replace DJ if he doesn’t come back but that room is loaded and the Washington kid is supposed to be pretty exciting.

Time for Burnett to step up and produce and that room has plenty of talent but our TE TMac will be missed.

I imagine Padilla will move to tackle and Magnuson will stay at guard and we will get a look at next years line in the bowl game but I think we will be good.

Not many positions that we can look at and say we are not talented. Inexperienced yes but talent is not the worry to me

I am not overly concerned about needed positions being filled. Fisch is gaining a reputation of developing players for the NFL. He plays a pro style offense and defense. Potential portal players are calling him. Money isn't as much a factor as making it to the league. Dorian Singer is the perfect example of a player making the wrong decision by chasing NIL. UA isn't the highest NIL, but it is adequate to take care of the players. You can donate to Arizona Assist or Desert Takeover for basketball and football NIL.

Our greatest area of need in the transfer portal will be the defensive line where we are losing quite a few players.

Taylor Upshaw, Sio Nofoagatoto'a, Jeremy Mercier and Tyler Manoa have all used up their eligibility.

Bill Norton walked with the Seniors on Senior day but he is eligible for another year as a graduate so I'm sure Fisch and company are working hard to convince him to return.

Ok… maybe on this board because we watch these kids and project their pro potential, but Fisch doesn’t have a roster of draft picks anyone can point to to support that assertion.

I'm not worried because worrying is not worth my time. Plus his 2nd recruiting class will be stepping in or stepping up. Psyched to see the younger players step into those key positional and leadership roles.

The players mentioned in the previous post are all out of eligibility. Wiley, Johnson, McLaughlan, Jordon are all off the NFL more than likely

I always worry about this stuff but we do have some good talent in the reciever room and in the tight end room. The kids are going to have to step up. I think we do have a lot of young O line talent and I think Carroll will coach them up. I saw where we just offered a Penn State D lineman that entered the portal. We'll see how that goes. I wouldn't mind us getting another big bruising running back to replace Johnson. I think we'll be fine (I'll check to see if Custer said something like that as he was dividing his force against the advice of others)

Not to mention our stud backup QB being out of eligibility.

Who?

JDL. Oops. Got that wrong but thinking he will transfer.

Has a year left but he is likely transferring

Nebraska makes a ton of sense

Norton is coming back, which is awesome, but everything I'm seeing says Sio is out of eligibility.
