S Christian Harrison to Cincy. There remains reported interest on the two NC St. Safeties - Fitzgerald & Boykin.

EDGE Bradley Weaver to Rutger - this sucks, I was a big fan of his game. https://www.app.com/story/sports/college/rutgers/2025/01/08/rutgers-football-lands-ohio-transfer-bradley-weaver/77549554007/

Sneed commits to WKU (1/7/25) One of the better G5 spots - solid coaching w/Helton, winning program, etc. Happy for Sneed. Leaves four scholarship and three walk-on's remaining in the portal from last year's squad.

Outgoing Transfer News from 1/6 Commits - LB Joshua Rudolph to UTEP (12/17) - OL Noah Bolticoff to North Alabama (12/17) - CB Jax Boykin to Hampton (12/31) Interest - DE Venson Sneed from Florida Atlantic, Bowling Green St., Western Kentucky - LB Nahji Long from Nevada, Arkansas St., UTEP, Temple - CB Jojo Johnson from UTEP

I don't want to derail the thread, but the lack of development from Kaden Turner is one of my big mysteries from the '24 season. I was a big fan coming out of HS and his first few seasons in B'ton, I thought he was primed to really pop, but he rarely saw the field and was buried on the 2-deep.

TE Brody Kosin to Miami OH. I like the fit - successful program w/great coaching in a gorgeous town. I wish the young man the best.

Wyatt to UVA - I wonder if the staff viewed the final OL portal spot as a Wyatt vs. Benson decision?

I have CCC with 2-5 scholarships remaining before he hits 85, biggest variable being the potential returns of Kidwell, Langston, and Cooper Jones. Spitballing here, but I believe the staff will look to add at TE, DE/DL, LB, and 2x DB. Further addition to OL or Return Specialist wouldn't surprise me either.

WR Tyler Morris to Indiana - BOOM!

TE Alex Bauman (Tulane) to Miami (FL)

Kudos to @Stuhoo for nailing the Grant recruitment earlier this week!

Quick Updates S Tayden Barnes to Cincy LB Caleb LaVallee to FSU

Agree, but Frost is a weird dude. Hopefully his stellar time in Lincoln has humbled him a bit...

Coach Haines has shown an an aptitude for moving players around to best suite their skillset and team need- see JMF to Edge. I think your hypothesis is spot on @Hurryin' Hoosiers

See Brad Underwood leaving Ok State after one season as well...

Agree, hoping we gain clarity with Kidwell's eligibility/desire to return in the coming weeks.

Social media follows are always a bit polarizing, but it is worth noting that CCC has started following three new veteran/grad transfer-type QB's over the last 24-48 hours, see below. I don't know if CCC and Crew will land any of the new follows, but I view this as a very clear signal he will be adding another veteran QB this cycle. Zevi Eckhaus (Bryant -> WSU). https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/stats/_/id/4876066/zevi-eckhaus Grant Jordan (Yale). https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/stats/_/id/4883110/grant-jordan Grant M Wilson (Fordham -> Old Dominion). https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/stats/_/id/4695867/grant-wilson For context, the only other positions I am seeing multiple follows are TE, WR, and DE/DL.

Move to the 6:25 mark - 'How do people cover this team?' ...I ask the same question...

Scholarship numbers are fluid this time of year, but with Johnson, Sneed and Kosin entering the portal and Moore joining the squad I have CCC and Crew at 79 scholarships for '25 (including Kidwell and Langston.). Still needs at OL, DL/DE, Safety, and I wouldn't be surprised to see another depth signing at QB, TE, and WR.

Another portal entry - Jojo Johnson, again not surprised by this move and the growing depth in the CB room.

Sneed to the Portal, given his lack of time on the field this shouldn't be a major surprise.

Injuries really derailed the season for him. Outside of the Florida game, a very unforgettable season the young man. https://hoosierhuddle.com/hoosier-blog/safety-louis-moore-returns-to-indiana/2024/12/28

Something Osterman has mentioned a few times is the idea of incorporating Transfer Fees (gaining program compensates losing program) similar to European Soccer - I doubt it will gain steam in the States in the immediate future, but it is an interesting idea.

Michigan OL Gentry to BYU

Kamara is coming back - BOOM
