Transfer Wishlist 2027

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Based on KJ Duff last night. And to some degree Jahiem White in the North Texas game.

Thought this could be a decent thread idea to throw names that catch your intention that might be a reasonable option. 
 

Duff seems NFL bound but you never know. Maybe he wants to win and improve his stock. 
 

Im not sure Sales will be a for sure 1 or 2 next year as a true freshman.  As good as Chandler has been he’s more of a slot.  Maybe he will be the two.  Seems like we will be seeking a big wideout out of the portal.  
 

Jahiem White is intriguing. But, He’s so little.  Will Richard return? I love Martin. I don’t like what we have after him. 
 

QB?  Clearly we will portal this spot.  Any early candidates on the realistic wishlist?

How about Malik Washington?

I think I’d rather Tayven Jackson back.  I haven’t honed in on one yet.  We talking the Maryland QB?

Looking for feedback more than making a recommendation, but what about little Mendoza? Stats look OK, but haven't had a chance to watch him.

As a backup would gladly take him. But that would only be if Cherry isn’t ready.  
 

Mendoza is good enough to start. Just not a contending team

He isn't really a P4 level QB. That he is currently starting for Ga Tech is more a statement on that program than anything

He obviously has the tools to be a very good QB, but has really yet to put it together on the field.  He's looked bad his first 2 Big Ten games this year.

It could be more due to the coaching malpractice currently going on in College Park than Washington's abilities.

It would be a much different type of swing than he took with Hoover. It would provide a lower floor, but potentially higher ceiling than Hoover. 

A lot of football left to be played this year though.
