The Transfer Portal Thread

I know its bball, but still...




Nate Oats became one of the hottest coaches in America last winter, leading Alabama to SEC regular season and conference tournament championships. The Crimson Tide lost to UCLA in overtime in the Sweet 16. Since then it’s been a mixed bag of results from Tuscaloosa.
Herb Jones and John Petty finally completed their eligibility. To replace the super seniors, Oats found a a five-star recruit, JD Davison, and pulled a transfer from Texas Tech, Nimari Burnett. He convinced Jahvon Quinerly to return for another season, but the same cannot be said for two others.
Josh Primo and Jaden Shackelford declared for the NBA Draft. Primo kept his name in the pool, while Shackelford decided to return to the college ranks, just not at Alabama. According to Jeff Goodman, the Crimson Tide’s leading scorer in 2021 has entered the transfer portal.
As a sophomore, Shackelford averaged 14 points per game and shot 41% from the field. The 6-foot-3 wing threw in 3.8 rebounds and two assists per game in 33 contests. Shackelford earned Second Team All-SEC honors at the season’s conclusion.
For those keeping track at home, Oats will have to replace all five starters from Alabama’s best basketball team since 2004.

Meh… we were never a basketball school anyway 😜
 
Isaac Slade-Matautia transferring to SMU football from Oregon. Slade-Matautia, who had recently entered the NCAA football transfer portal, tied for the team lead in tackles (45) last season and recorded 62 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and 11 pass breakups in 2019. He will reunite with new SMU defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt, who served in the same role at Oregon during Slade-Matautia's freshman season in 2018.
 
Jeremiah Holloman has committed to Liberty and Hugh Freeze. Holloman was dismissed from UGA following a domestic incident in the Spring of 2019. An NFL talent, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound redshirt junior from Covington, Ga., will have two years of eligibility remaining. He played in 4 games for FIU in 2020.

He could quickly become a top target for Malik Willis.

Looks like UGA was the overall winner of the portal with 3 in the top 10. Tennessee was definitely the overall loser with 3 in the top 10 and 5 of the top 21. Oklahoma did very well with 4 of the top 25 including 2 top tens. It's interesting to note that 3 of Oklahoma's transfer players came from Tennessee. Kentucky could see the biggest impact of all transfers with the addition of Wan'Dale Robinson who was Nebraska's leading WR last season. Coen is gonna throw the ball in Lexington and he's got a few options in his QB room to work with, most notably Will Levis from Penn State.

Lewis will be the starter a UK for QB. The RB and line situation should be solid. We shall see. Looking forward to being 2nd in the East! :)
 
Tate Martell’s Father Has Confirmed His Transfer Decision (msn.com)

Tate Martell is officially heading home. His father, Al Martell, confirmed that his son is transferring to UNLV.

Tate’s collegiate career has been a whirlwind. The former five star began his career at Ohio State, but eventually transferred to Miami to get away from the Buckeyes’ loaded quarterback room. His stint with the Hurricanes didn’t bring about his desired results. He lost the starting gig and tried switching positions to receiver, but was mostly used as a decoy.

Tate is now heading home to Las Vegas to play for Marcus Arroyo and the UNLV Rebels. We assume he’ll get another chance to play quarterback.


I hate to be the bearer of bad news, bro, but running from competition your entire college career is not gonna be something that NFL scouts overlook. You don't win the job just because you think you're good.
