True Dat. All the players that have hit the portal in basketball, I think I read there are approx. 1100 of them, got my anti-transfer juices flowing and my typo fingers got a little out of control.
Wish him well, too. I thought he was a good player and hate to see him leave.

He wants to play more than the coaches let on that he wouldFUBeAR wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 10:10 pmC’mon FurmAlum. Are you missing something? Seriously?FurmAlum wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 9:05 pmStupid decision. Looks like he is the 3rd CB. If either Blackshear or Robinson is injured he's a starter. Would get a lot of PT anyway. Blackshear is a senior. Would probably start for 2 years in '24 and '25.
Furthermore he is playing for a Top 10, maybe Top 5 FCS team with a shot to be a National Championship contender. Does that not mean anything?
Am I missing something?
You have one piece of solid info - he’s in the portal … and the rest is conjecture.
He may have found a cure for cancer and is looking to transfer to MIT to develop it. He may have been kicked off the Team for saying bad things about FUBeAR. He may be following his mentor, Coach Wright, to Delaware. His girlfriend may be going to grad school on the west coast and he wants to be closer to her. All of the above is just made up ish. We have no knowledge of his decision process. Calling it a “stupid decision” is getting WAY out over those Saloman’s.
Hate that he’s leaving, but wish him the best. Hope it’s the right decision for him.
Furman picked up another player for the 2023 class. I'm not sure if this is a PWO or a scholarship.
Will Curran is a reclassed OG from the 2022 to 2023 class; he attended Fork Union Prep this past season.
Curran is 6-2 280 and looks very mobile.

we signed a 6-7 250 lb transfer to play tight end. Played basketball at his college and the football coach finally got him to play. Can’t repeat the name yet because he has not made it public on Twitter yet. Coaches said he is extremely athletic and they are jacked about him. Should be public soon. He also could have as much as two more years left.
That’s great news!! Any idea when it will be public?

Correction- he is not signed. Transfers are not signed. He said he plans to come but transfers are not here until they enroll. Misunderstood what I heard.
But the young man mentioned above is not the guy.
