This is the time of the year where recruiting picks up. We will see offers go out to high school, JUCO, FCS and FBS transfers. Also, some of the current players will hit the portal. I am asking that we NOT speculate as who that will be or who we think should or shouldn't be here.

How soon does the information become public after a player enters the portal? When does the portal open?

Update on the transfer portal-
While it may seem like it, the FCS transfer portal window isn't open yet.
All of today's entries have been grad transfers who saw their seasons end on Saturday. I'd expect a somewhat busy week.
The full FBS and FCS portal doesn't open for another 14 days
This is from Farrell Sports, a site I trust.

A quick preview of what I think will take place for recruiting-
QB- all are scheduled to return. I do think the staff will add a veteran QB to the mix
RB- all are scheduled to return. The RB rotation was odd throughout the year, so we will see if that changes anything
WR- gone are T. Williams, Holman, Neece, Wayd. Jones and Harden (Harden left the team earlier in the fall). Need a couple more outside WR's, especially with Taylor and Golightly going into their last season in 2024
TE- Stafford graduates. Caldwell, Castles and Lebechi added valuable playing time at this spot.
OL- R. Moore and Ghirmai graduate. Pullen played well at RT. Look for the staff to add at least 1 transfer OT to this mix
DL- Oladele and Er. Smith are gone (Smith left early in camp). This unit was very young. Look for a transfer or 2 to be added
LB- Wilhoit and Woody are gone (Woody left early in camp). Young, Moore and Coheley solidified their roles, but look for depth to be added
CB- Egbo, Jolly, Aar. Reynolds and Dish. Hall are gone (Hall left earlier in the season). Huge need here. Top 3 corners graduate. Transfers will be added
S- Tr. Adams and Mal. Jones (Jones left earlier in camp). With Moffett, Plumley, Dudley and TJ Marshall, we are in pretty good shape.

Agree about the odd rotation of our running backs this year. I never understood it and no reason was ever given.
Excited to have Taylor back at receiver. He looked really good in the A&M game and would have had an even better game if some of the passes had been more accurate.
Linebackers and DL were both young and really good. Excited about what a year of growth can do for them.

How absurd would it be to go after Big 12 QBs that are entering the portal? Blake Shapen, Malik Murphy, Max Johnson, Will Howard? We all saw the impact firsthand of what a guy like that can do for your offense when we played UIW. Not that they needed any extra help... I would say all of those players would be long shots, but it also seems like each of them outside of Murphy is going to have a hard time finding a starting job at Power 5 school...

I would think most would wind up at a smaller FBS school but it doesn't hurt to try. I was surprised when Calzada ended up at UIW. I'd like to see who we might be able to pick up.
