***Official portal tracker thread***

He is listed as a TE. But that may be interchangeable in this system.
Yeah if you watch his clips on twitter he’s lined up a lot in the backfield as a fullback. Just like the last staff the fullbacks are in the tight end room. Saw this elsewhere but this past season but 60% of his snaps where run blocking for the running back
 
Ratings are mostly meaningless to me. From what I can tell, stars are awarded based on who’s recruiting you. That’s subjective. Of course you want size, speed, and strength- there’s no measurement for work ethic however. Development is far more important in my opinion. Having an eye for potential and finding kids that will thrive in your system if you figure out how best to use them. Campbell was very good at doing that (with the exception of offensive lineman). I have faith that our new staff excels at finding hidden gems and developing them as well.
 
We all these guys be getting on campus for 2nd semester? And are all the outgoing guys leave immediately and head to PSU or where ever?

Last of the scholarship potential holdovers are:

Ka'Mori Moore
Ethan Stecker
Ryver Peppers
Vontroy Malone
Dontrell Holt
Garrett Rutledge

Word on any? Solely premium info? (If so, why?)
Saw the first RB alluded to early in the portal process from Monmouth & was super productive went to... Miami(OH)?

Had a lot of carries last season (and maybe the season before), but wouldn't have thought the tread was off the tires. Didn't seem so have the speed our 2 RBs additions have. Neither have had many carries, but would appear we are going with a talent-based approach. Definitely have speed.

Would think we have adds in skill positions yet, but difficult telling what slots we have available until we know about all prior players & who is staying or not.
So I’m assuming since the deadline to enter the transfer portal has passed and there was never any news of any of these names entering the portal that all of them will be back next season?

The deadline to enter was yesterday but the schools have 48 hours to acknowledge so some could show up on the portal yet Sunday.
 
I think all, if not the vast majority of guys, already signed or committed, will be around for Spring Ball. I think a lot of the early guys arrived this week, like Pabst. Now the ones who are committing this week, I would guess, but who knows. Maybe they arrive later.
 
Anyone know if we were able to keep Ka'mori Moore then? I thought someone said Rutledge was possibly going to PSU, but has that been confirmed? Those were the two I was most excited about keeping here in Ames.

LaMarcus Hicks committed to Arkansas, someone said there were rumblings Rutledge visited Pedo St, but no news of committing. No word on the others. I have no idea if you can enter the portal without public notification (never saw indication for Rutledge, yet he could visit elsewhere?), but if you cannot then they are staying, or possibly shown the door? If the latter, I figure they'd have entered the portal immediately, so maybe fairly certain they are staying?
