2024 Transfer Portal

He would be foolish not too, even if he is staying. Why not see what the offers are out there? He has absolutely no chances in the NFL being 5'8", so might as well make some dough now.

Don't know how much he gets, but JDL was getting $8K a month.

Fishclamps · Post by **Fishclamps** » Tue Dec 03, 2024 5:03 pm

Scheer's take on it. I think he should enter regardless just to test the market.

azgreg · Post by **azgreg** » Tue Dec 03, 2024 5:09 pm

Well......maybe not now. It was being reported by the Rivals portal feed but they cited someone who doesn't have it in their timeline.

For fuck sake he isn't in the portal

Speedy Luke gone.

Bummer on speedy but it will be interesting to see other coaches use him efficiently

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Tue Dec 03, 2024 6:00 pm

That was pretty much a given when Speedy decided to redshirt even with lots of carries available.

Carcassdragger · Post by **Carcassdragger** » Tue Dec 03, 2024 7:43 pm

Darn it. I really thought Speedy would break out for us at some point. Hope he comes back.

Don't think that is true according to his father. Maybe he changed his mind. Is there a list somewhere that is official from all schools yet?

We will know soon how bad this gets.

U of A loves Noah Fifita and the Fifita family. This is his team. Hope he feels this and decides to stay a Wildcat forever.

Two different staffs couldn't figure out how to get him the ball on the move.

Now we wait and see who Brennan and company pushes out the door.

I think some of this is on Speedy. He just never seemed to be quite in the right place at the right time.

These guys have to stop using the same transfer announcement template. Thank the bar that let you in underage. Talk about missing the pool parties. Make me believe a 20-year-old wrote it.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 1:50 pm

If you put your name in the portal, the school no longer has to honor your scholarship. The way Brennan was talking, they don't want anyone who doesn't want to be there. CBB does not have to take him back if he pulls his name, but I imagine he would.

No harm in seeing what offers are out there.

Postmaster · Post by **Postmaster** » Fri Dec 06, 2024 3:10 pm

I'm not knocking anyone for leaving, but the statement seems to reflect the opposite of leaving.

So much for the Servite connection, especially if Manu declares for the draft. Only Fifita will be left, if he does stay as announced.

If Garcia couldn't get on the field at SJSU not sure what he expected at Arizona. Although he did get in one play v. ASU for some reason. Shame to burn a year here but that's just how it works.

I guess Adam Damante will be next. 4th string QB on Arizona isn't all that appealing.

TheCatInTheHat · Post by **TheCatInTheHat** » Sun Dec 08, 2024 11:59 am

Appreciate the eligibility listings. By most accounts, T-Mac and Jonah Savinea are definite pro declarations.

If anybody wants any good news, prior to any more defections and assuming recovery from injuries, it's not the worst roster I've ever seen at Arizona. But it's a little bit like the baseball line that if your pitching staff has lots of prospects to start, you don't have any starters, due to lack of star power. Still, there appear to be reasonably appropriate bodies and no absolutely glaring holes, which would put you in a position to add transfer portal personnel for improvement, rather than to desperately plug holes.

The other side of the argument is "great, absent the one-man team named T-Mac, maybe they can go 4-8 again." No reason to think there's any chance to have a year like 2023 again any time soon. I'm betting Gonzales becomes the DC, which is a shrug. Any full-time ST coach should improve that disaster. We'll see how long it takes to integrate a new offense and how we do with injuries. I'd guess the schedule would flip regarding home versus road games. But, unless we get superstar transfers and a truly exceptional OC, it's hard to see much better than a 2-game improvement, if that.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sun Dec 08, 2024 12:38 pm

We need an OC/QB coach, a special teams coach and a DC not named Gonzales.

Just a quick addition to your note on superstars. Often times we don't know we have a superstar until he becomes one. ASU has a running back that was far from superstar status when he came via the portal from a small school. With the right offensive coach and the right system and timing he's now probably a 1st round draft pick. Nick Foles was a tall kid with a big arm when he came to the UofA. He wasn't an NFL quality QB until Frank Scelfo made him one. Lets hope and pray for the best on new coaches and new systems and see what happens. That's about all we can do anyway.

TheCatInTheHat · Post by **TheCatInTheHat** » Sun Dec 08, 2024 3:13 pm

All very true. You can force alley-oop passes to a Harold Carmichael/T-Mac type. But, if you've got a well-designed and well-executed spread offense with a pretty good QB who can read and get rid of it quick, even average receivers can get open in space, change-up draw plays give you some ground game and you can move the ball. Finding the right OC is so unbelievably critical.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sun Dec 08, 2024 3:57 pm

He told his teammates he was coming back before entering the portal.

Edit: I thought ProfessorFate's post was about Manu entering the portal, but in case that wasn't clear it was officially announced Manu's in it too:

And add Jonah Rodriguez to the list.
