Decent chance of landing Clark. Wyoming was recruiting him, so he’s familiar with Vigen. Ran a 10.85 100m in high school. 247 2-star.
Gotta think Banks knows him well too

And we offered 2 hours after he tweeted he was entering the portal.

To be eligible for 2020 Fall Academic All-Conference honors, student-athletes must have completed at least one academic term at the member institution while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better. The athletic contribution/participation requirement has been omitted for this award this year due to the impact of COVID-19.

So you think they offer a walk on opportunity or would a grad transfer even entertain that?

My main worry about transfers is I think so many of the recruits fall in love with the recruiting process. Once they get to campus, the love stops and the work starts and they don't like that. Not saying anyone in particular, but more as a general concern with shopping the portal.

I believe the Cats have had more hits than misses with the portal and transfers over the past five years. Amandre Williams, Bryce Sterk, Jahque Alleyne, and Travis Jonsen to name a few have been big contributors recently. Looks like Matt McKay might just be the starter at QB this year too.

Jackson State transfer

? He graduated from JUCO and played at Jackson State for the spring 2021. listed as a sophomore, enters portal after season with 2 tackles and 1/2 sack? Not sure how much playing time he had to rack that up but doesn't shine as fitting what Dione Sanders expected of him. Sounds more like waivers. Hope he plays with a chip on his shoulder.

Interesting.....Where/Who is the NC State connection? McKay transfers, interest in Johnson. It even looked like Rasheed Lyles had an offer from NC State https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/ ... -interests

And I saw an article somewhere that Lyles had it narrowed down to Jackson State and NC State before committing to primetime.

The connection with McKay was DeNarius McGhee. I have no idea what the connection is with Johnson.

It's hard to know, especially not fully knowing the coaching network of the new staff. Could be McKay, could be a HS coach, could be a sibling/cousin, could be Dave Doreen (who coached at UM), could be totally random.

Yup, I remember when Koby Duru was recruited to MSU. Choate mentioned that it was a female teacher at the Duru's high school, who also knew Choate at BSU, that gave him a heads up to look at Duru. It's interesting to see how some of these players are found.

I've always been curious how many of these young men that send in their huddle video links to a coaches twitter page actually get recruited by a school.

Or it could be like family feud and someone is watching every player entering the portal and reaching out first for the positions that need depth?
