2023-24 Transfer Portal Thread (PORTAL CLOSED)

I thought I heard the LHN guys talking about a big get via the portal at WR but they couldn't mention it yet. Is this regarding Golden or someone else, like maybe Stewart?

It is Golden. He is committed but hasn't signed the official paperwork yet so they can't comment. Same with Mukuba.
 
Nothing today.
Bobby Burton has been in contact with his agent and has been told he is down to Texas and Bama. He was told that a decision would be yesterday but obviously that didn't happen. Still sounds like the kid is trying to decide, likely before Christmas he will have a decision.
 

I don’t buy this. We clearly need two starting receivers from the portal, since most likely the only returning WR with any catches is Cook with 8. We have only really gone after Golden so far. I suspect we knew this was coming. If he lands at Texas, look out.

Why are folks assuming he’s a cancer? Did something happen while he was at A&M that I missed?

I don't know this to be the case exactly, but there were a few tweets and interviews by the staff referring to culture and respect shortly after Evans entered the portal. If you remember, Evans was once commited to Texas. There's speculation that when he decommited, he didn't handle it in the most respectful manner and the staff was not happy how he went about his decommitment.

Again, nothing solid, but if you start to connect the dots, there could be something to it. Sark is huge on culture and isn't going to jeopardize what he has built to get 1 guy.
 
Evans was suspended for at least one game this past season and then was either injured or just not part of the team toward the end of the year. He was also injured in the game against Arkansas. IMO there is a lot of negative history between Stewart and the Texas program for him to sign with the Horns, but we'll see. I still think Arkansas is a better fit for him, and Oregon could also be a destination.
