Has turned out to be a very smart move with the possible loss of Heard.

Didn't travel with the team to the bowl game. No one knows why though but the fear is he is going into the portal.

There may be adversarial/ competitive relationship between Heard and Campbell.

Billy from on3 talked to him and said there’s been no decision yet. But also mentioned that guys don’t travel normally b/c of grades. TBD.

Davis reminds me of Emory Jones. Leaner, athletic type. He isn't as developed as Jones, but you can't teach his athleticism. And I haven't hidden how high I am on Echols. I think he's eventually taking an IOL spot depending on how the interior shakes out.

The reality is there are no positions that are "too deep" in the portal and NIL era. Gotta keep stocking up when quality players are available.

Wonder how Tyree Adams development has been in the redshirt year - he was a top 200 guy and not really talked about. Off tackle

Seems Will is the reason Heard is unhappy. He only wants to play left tackle and that position isn’t open next year. Heard said when he signed he was only going to play left tackle. If this is really his attitude then he’s gone. Hopefully it’s something else.

My question would be why wait until now to make this decision? He just went through an entire season and there was zero talk about him being unhappy, he had this entire month to hit the portal if that was his intention. Just weird to wait until bowl practice ends to finally decide to sit UNLESS he found out Dellinger and Frasier were both coming back and he saw his chances of starting next year decline.

Any chance he got injured in practice?

After a long time we have two potential first round elite LTs in back to back years from the state and get them on the team.

It would suck to lose a star to the portal especially considering our portal recruiting has been abysmal so far this year.

If Heard is that selfish of a player, this says more about him than anyone else.

If he’s going in the portal, why wait? Why wouldn’t he already be in it?

I'm with lsupicker, let's wait and see how it plays out instead of jumping to conclusions.

Because hes unsure as reported? Embody talked to Heard himself and that's what he said. No reason to doubt it at this point.
