CDM Era: Transfer Portal and Recruits Thread

I hope this isn't turning into a New Mexico style blood bath with the number of transfers. No doubt the coaches that are leaving have told the players they will not be staying. Without a question the special teams and defense coach are gone along with many of their players.

Its going to get worse before it gets better. I am fairly confident that Mullen will be able to recruit to a high standard. But it still stings. I liked most of those guys, and would have loved to have seen a deep returning class. Though, some of these guys might not be headed to Purdue. I am sure a few of them were going to move no matter if Odom stayed or not.

Just have to embrace it instead of crying about it like Lincoln Riley was recently.

We’re going to get a lot of good players, we’re gonna lose some good ones too. Just the way it is, the most important thing is that Mullen keeps that culture of winning and working hard in place. CDM was on ESPN saying he’s been given scouting reports on every player on the team, new recruits, and every one in the portal. He said his son is real excited and they go over everything at home.
 
Only silver lining is that we played in an early bowl, so gives time to react rather than these players leaving after January 1st bowls. Hopefully someone of these players end up coming back, but if not.. nothing but love for how they played and changed the trajectory of the program.
 
Lots of departures, not a lot of time to recruit transfers in.. yeah
That was baked in. When you are a G5 school with limited resources and coming off a 11 win season AND being a Top25 program. The big and well funded programs will be looking at your players.

It’s why Odom left. It wasn’t going to get any better than this group under CBO.
 
I’d bet CDM convinces 30-40% of our portal entrants to stay. Suspect some are just testing the waters as well.
I think you have to enter portal to even reach out to other schools.
With the JC ruling, maybe call Jose and see if he wants to come kick for another year.. lol

Who do you think will stay?
I don’t have any insight in that regard, just basing it on having a few players enter the portal last year and deciding to stay plus the upward momentum of the program and bringing in CDM has got to be entering into their equation.

Oh sorry, wasn't asking for any insight! Just wondering who you personally think will stay? Hoping we retain some of the lineman!

Might be tough with Vance Vice being out. I think we'll have a better idea by Friday as to who our primary coordinators are. I don't expect Mullen to dawdle with filling out the rest of the staff. Its good to see how active Mullen and his new Chief of recruiting have been on their own.

Also likely that some of those coaches may bring a few players with them.
