Portal closes Saturday. Any late Christmas gifts in the works?
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
- did we get any OL or DL from the portal? Read back a few pages and only saw the TE
Transfer Portal Thread
That might be true, but it would sure be hard to get players enrolled and on campus in time for classes without a commit here soon.
He hasn't posted anything on twitter/x but Kerry King, a WR from ECU, is on the roster now. He is a grad transfer with 2 years left.
Didn't have many catches at ECU. From what I can find out, he was in line to be a starter going into the 2023 season but suffered a torn ACL and was never really able to get back on the field much after that. He was a walk-on but earned a scholarship during the 2022 season. He had offers from Fordham and W&M coming out of high school.

A few thoughts... apologies as been distracted with Christmas cheer...
It would not surprise me if Hinton came back. I am not sure the offers he has are enough to pull him away. As some noted, Coastal is not that attractive and Michigan is cold, even for a Northern Virginian boy.
I think the portal has been kind to Furman. We have addressed some needs at WR, TE (Clyburn, we needed a big bodied blocking TE), RB. I think that Santa has a present hiding for us behind the tree at OT. A nice one. Not the VMI kid but something someone mentioned earlier.
If Hinton does come back, the Portal will have been a big plus for the roster. I suppose we could get hurt by in the Spring, maybe. But right now, Furman appears to be a positive and desired destination and our roster next year should be overall both improved and significantly more experienced!

King is an interesting pickup. We certainly seemed to have space to grab another receiver for 2025.
It looks like he's already spent 5 seasons of college football with ECU (he's a 2019 graduate). So, Furman is getting a guy with a ton of experience.
Watching his high school film, he's not a big guy, but is a long striding runner that can really accelerate in space. He reminds me a bit of Devin Hester for the Paladins.

Perhaps the Wofford grad or Jaydon Collins from Wake Forest.FUATT wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2024 4:23 pmA few thoughts... apologies as been distracted with Christmas cheer...

So they could go work somewhere for the spring semester and enroll for the fall semester?
This is all out of hand. I’m pulling for collegiate athletes that also are disciplined in academics. That’s the Furman way.

Would love this. Would so like for Hinton and one or two OL. I don’t think anyone can deny we need OL ! The game is won in the trenches. We need a running game !!!FUATT wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2024 4:23 pmA few thoughts... apologies as been distracted with Christmas cheer...

As long as they are in good academic standing, they just have to be enrolled for the fall semester. They could also enroll for courses. Some kids enter through portal but still have to finish the last semester (spring) at their current school before they can enroll. You see a lot of kids posting “mid year enrollee” on their profile meaning they can transfer in now. Not all can do that. We obviously would want them all here now but that’s just not the reality with all of the transfers. Abraham and King are here now so that’s a good start. We may see others before the next semester starts.
Furman still clearly looking to bring in another DB as they are still offering guys.
DB from Indianapolis. 3 years of eligibility. Has offers from Wofford, Samford, UTEP, WIU, YSU, Missouri State, UT Martin, Miami (OH), and Illinois State.

Evidence that the coaching staff doesn’t feel like being a year older will automatically make you better like many on here believe. Just sayin’
I'm guess we are the best to offer Jaydon Collins. Publicly, he indicated offers from Gardner-Webb and West Georgia (Brodyville). 6'6" 305 is a big body. We know though, that alone doesn't equate to a productive OL and it seems odd a transfer our of Wake Forest with that size wouldn't have more offers. The entire Furman staff is following him on X.AllTimeFU wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2024 6:40 pmPerhaps the Wofford grad or Jaydon Collins from Wake Forest.FUATT wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2024 4:23 pmA few thoughts... apologies as been distracted with Christmas cheer...

https://x.com/poindextertyriq Tyriq from VMI hasn't indicated a commit yet. He had some pretty good offers. Only the OL coach is following him. Perhaps that's an indication.
