Zeb and Devon both have the talent to do good things at their new homes. I understand why they left due to the emergence of Purdy and other talented QBs on the roster. Kolar is likely a safe insurance policy.

Oge, Angel and Josh would be nice to have for depth but if they felt they were getting passed on the depth chart I guess that speaks to the development of others on the team (hopefully).

Bickham for Taylor-Cortez seems like a fair trade but Taylor-Cortez had so much promise.

Do we think any more transfers will emerge (either in or out)?

Yes.

Until the NCCA changes transfer rules (if they do), this will be come the norm each year with people moving more rapidly and frequently between schools. Think basketball transfer percentages now applying to football...

Our net loss is four guys.

I am not sure what our current total scholarship count is but presuming we can replace all four my guess is at least a couple enrolled walk one are deserving of a scholarship.

At this point if we have any slots left I would rather see us look for a sit out transfer or a late blooming high school player.

Just like dating, things happen and people break up. I would imagine the young men leaving did what was best for them. This program will not have any issues due to the Transfer Portal. If a player needs to leave, that is good for him and the program. We don't want unhappy, frustrated players bringing the locker room down. Sometimes personal goals and team goals just don't mesh. No hard feelings, just life.

Unless we lose guys that we can't replace this is a non issue. Five of those six were recruited over and the other didn't exactly buy in.
