2027 Recruiting Thread

[LB99]

Does Trey Taylor sign with Nebby in December? Word is several SEC teams are trying to flip him.

I believe Ohio State is also.

It's been reported that Cignetti at Indiana uses a 45% retain -45% portal and 10% high school.

The 45% retain vs 55% portal/new is rather high but Curt has established and competent coordinators. Once one or both leave, Curt is done.

I believe my post was written to indicate concern in "2027 and beyond." 2027 would be the initial impact of the 2026 recruiting debacle. While most 2027 incoming freshman would not be expected to make an impact in '27, elite recruits could.
Many 2027 holes may be filled via the portal. However, unless there is "gold in them thar hills," required quantity will impact quality.

These days you are wrong. 2027 you can see the problem. After that one cant see much of anything. With the current state of college football between recruits and portal transfer you are looking at around 35 new players a year. In two years thats 70 new faces with a lot of them not being first or second year players. Of the other 20 that will still be here. They better be good or you have a real problem, and if you have 20 good ones. Thats half a team on the field. We got two cycles to generate the other half, and a large portion of that is portal driven. Cant even comment on that now.

I've also said it before. I like this class, I dont see a reaches in it. I know so many are concerned about the lack of the elite 5 star kids that contribute day one. There appear to be a lot of kids with upside, by 2028 they will either start to show or start to go out the door.
