Specialists: check.

With Tracy off the board maybe we'll take a look at Robinson from USC? Good size and had some production there.

Dang! A couple swing and misses early. Might need to cast a wider net, but I have no idea what’s happening behind closed doors,

Anyone else notice Ole Miss is KILLING it in the portal?

I get they had a decent season and an attractive offense, but still… wtf kind of strings is Kiffin pulling down there??

Few other names that I am keeping an eye on at the receiver spot based on the staff's engagement, I'm not sure if their is reciprocal interest...

Makai Jackson (App St) - Third Team SBC, St. Francis/Sarratt connection
Nyziah Hunter (Cal) - Visiting Nebraska and K-St. this week
Tyler Morris (Mich)

It'll be good to have him for the 10 times IU has to punt it next year.

A Mendoza/Hunter package would be nice. I'd take it.

Let me dream.

Right, but do they have deeper pockets than every other team in the country? Because they are dominating the portal.

Edit to just add some perspective:

Ole Miss has 3 of the top 6 rated players in the portal on 247, and 4 out of the top 25. No other school has more than 1 from the top 25.

I won't tell anyone how to fan, but perspective is important. 

Only 7% of portal entrants have committed, and industry experts expect another rush of entries after bowl/CFP season.

I have faith in CCC & staff to add another 10 or so meaningful players from the portal.

They have a bunch of playing time opening up from an old team and an extremely fun coach to play for. They got it good right now.

Makes sense. I’m sure the PT is a huge factor. I’m guessing that was a big part of why Tracy chose Minnesota over us.

If I remember correctly Kiffin brought in a big number of transfers last year to try and compete right away. Many were one year eligibility guys so it’s likely they have some immediate playing time to offer along with a bunch of NIL.

That account did have the scoop. He's a little bit bigger than Ponds too.

Knighten from NIU?  Will be nice next year to have another guy who beat Notre Dame.

Interesting background.  Australian.  Played one season of high school basketball in LA as he was looking to become a D1 player.  Also worked his way up through high level amateur leagues in Australian trying to make it to the professional Australian Rules Football league.  Eventually found himself at UCF punting.  Older -- 26 years old.

...and with that Beebe is back in the portal.
