Yes
so how many? I thought kelly had said 8-10 from the portal before it opened. Is it because of # we have in it, or is it more because of the amount of talented players that's entering the portal?

Why limit yourself to a certain number. If you can upgrade through the portal, you do it.

If not, you're going to get left behind.

You still must maintain a good mix of incoming freshman to go along with the portal additions. 8&4 and Ole Miss are examples of focusing moreso on the Portal which doesn't equate to immediate success.

For reference, LSU took 9 last year
Aggie took 28
Ole Miss 26
Colorado took the most with 43

Every SEC team took 10+ except LSU and Tenn

And 24 more freshman. Probably another hand full + during spring too. So almost a 50% turnover in an 85 person roster?

12 was the original number candied about by Kelly and we had a few enter the portal that I'm assuming he wasn't aware of.

I wonder if Kyle Parker or Chris Hilton end up in the portal with the recent additions.

Certainly by the time the Spring portal period closes, much more likely to be 12 to 15 for sure.

Which means they will have to do that most years. It is like a bad drug habit.

yes 85 is a thing, sec rule for next year is 85 max. will look at reevaluating after to maybe go to 105 as allowed by ncaa



i think you are prolly closer to 12-13 now and then 2-3 more in spring. for around 15 total as i said before.


i think hilton stays as does parker.

I would think in the 15-17 range if the quality is there. you would be a little over in the spring but you can always expect a few people to exit after the spring concludes.
