THIS IS GREAT. Kid is a STUD.

I hate this portal sheet with all my being...at the rate it's going, I won't even care in 5 years unless something drastically happens. We will never see a Josh Harris or Travis Greene again, here 4-5 years.

I feel ya. BG needs to embrace that you can be developed and given the opportunity to advance to the P4 level in the meantime. At least in this environment it's easy not to get too attached to any specific player, knowing they'll be gone with any success. It's what made Fannin's season so special.

Is Fannin the last great BG lifer? I hope not, but it's looking like that with the way the sport is now.

The good players will move up, the guys who don't play will move on. Just reality now.

Yep, i think so. I thought Pabst was going to be. When he is in the NFL, it will count as a Florida State NFL player. Not a fan of that.

DB Eli Thompson from Holy Cross has committed. Had 4 interceptions this past season, one returned for touchdown. Undoubtedly he was inspired by Kit Hughes to come to BG.

Afogho committed to West Virginia last night. That's now seven P4 transfers.
Committed to Arkansas.

WR Isaiah Dawson from Richmond has signed. Looks like a Rahkeem Smith clone.

Thompson decommitted today, showing how ridiculous this whole process is.

Good. Keep that Kit juju out of our program.

Seriously though, what a joke. Don't commit if you aren't coming here. It's especially egregious out of the portal.

Correct. Keep that losing Holy Cross football culture away. I wonder when Holy Cross makes a change?

247 is showing that Bam Booker, Myles Bradley, and Arlis Boardingham have withdrawn from the portal. Working to confirm.
