At this stage of the recruiting/transfer cycle, I would have to give the edge to the defense over the offense in getting players that can help immediately. I have high hopes for our QB position (may the best player win the job), but expect some growing pains early in the season. We seem to have enough receivers already here and coming in.
Hopefully, in the May transfer period, we are able to pick up some talented OL and DL who found out during spring practice that they were: 1) not starting and entered the portal, or 2) got injured but are expected to recover during the season, or 3) if they have more than 1 year of eligibility, UH treats them as an investment for the future.
Leading up to May 1st, I hope UH is charting the two deep rosters of P5s and some good G5 programs on OL and DL, to determine if they want to offer players in the transfer portal. We also may get some referrals from other coaches. This is the last chance for player transfers for the 2023 season and UH needs to be first in line.
I am sure UHâs goal is to fill the OL coaching position much before May 1st, so our new coach can have a say in who we offer.
Im telling yâall the game is just getting more rigged for the big dogs. The only transfers they will rank are those going to blue bloods, and adding those to class ranks will only artificially inflate their scores further
They donât count for the big dogs either. Joe Burrow transferred to LSU and didnât count towards LSUâs class ranking. Article says they donât count in rankings for anyone.
Weâre also, for all of our enthusiasm, near the bottom of the conference. Other programs are saying that 247 isnât counting a lot of their recruits so maybe the same is true of us.
Who really cares? It all boils down to what happens on the field.
The blue bloods will always get the pick of the litter and will always be catered to by publications because their fans are the ones making them money
Smu 247 guy gets on them about rating their transfers, go look at On3 rankings they give a more accurate representation of where we are at which is 11th
I really like the On3 metric. Its not a ranking in terms of who has the best rated transfers. It compares the average talent of the current team versus who you lost and gained via the portal to determine was the the portal a net gain or loss for talent. So we are the 11th best team in the country when it comes to net gain of talent from the portal versus the talent that was already on the roster. Obviously not perfect, but I think its more interesting than trying to rank a bunch of transfers who mostly have never played college ball.
