I just have a hard time shrugging off the loss one of most productive RB’s in modern SEC football.

 

Sure, playoff contender on some level either way. I just think it drops you from about a 75% likelihood to more 50/50.

 

I’ve seen Bentley play and he’s good… he’s just not Judkins good.

Schemes, systems and players around you can make any RB look great. Just ask Dillon Johnson.

I’m always skeptical of reports that start leaking out after a guy leaves that he was actually a locker room problem all along and it was a mutual decision. Really? Why didn’t we hear of this before now? Every situation is different, of course, but it comes off a little as sour grapes. If he’d announced he was planning on returning, people would have been over the moon excited.

Dillon was really good at State too, just not in a system that allowed him many opportunities to run the ball. I’m not surprised he’s doing well at Washington.

Man this hasn’t been any secret. Heck I’ve told this to Blake and others numerous times in person way before this happened. Just because you don’t read about it on social media doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I know staff members, current and former players. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna come on here and spout off everything I’m told. Just like I’m holding in info on one of y’all’s new guys who y’all might not see for another two years that I refuse to post on a board. Cuz it’s a bad look.

I just know there were rumbles last offseason with Q and Kiffin getting into it causing a big thing where Q about entered the portal. There was really no secret around here that things weren’t great at the beginning of the season, but does one go and make a topic on a forum saying that? Especially if you’re a supporter of that school. This isn’t the end of the world as some want to make it seem. We have a guy that averaged 5.7 ypc behind a horrible OL waiting his turn and then the #8 RB in the class of 2022 that was ranked above Dowdell also waiting his turn.

My thing is, if there were known issues and it was a possibility this day would come, why do you giveJudkins get 34 carries in the bowl game? I’d have let someone else get more chances.

 

That’s what makes me skeptical about this being mutual. 34 carries less than a week ago.

He gave them the best chance to win, and that’s what it’s all about. 
 

I thought the portal closed Tuesday for all teams except the playoff teams.

I think the rule was 5 days after your last game, so teams that played right around New Year’s had a little more time. Playoff teams had the longest amount of time. Heck I think Washington and Michigan players could still enter until the end of next week.

Gonna be strange trading out Q for Jase McClellan. 

IF true, I'll take that rumor all day... including the rumor that Jase/Bentley combined NIL is much less than what Q wanted. 

 

Q is a great RB, he'll do well in Oxford or anywhere else next year. The "lifespan" of an NFL RB isn't long, I don't blame Q a bit for milking every bit of money he can while he still can.

Less high profile than the Judkins news but State picked up a transfer WR from Louisville that was a Top 100 prospect in the class of 2022. Decent numbers his first two years. Bumphis has really done a good job with WR’s in this class (on paper at least).

They add depth to an OL that needed it by the year end. Pounds just started every game this year for UNC. Them two plus Heard from LSU that’s visiting this weekend would be gladly accepted. Pounds and Heard I could see being possible starters with Lewis as a backup to help during running situations since he didn’t look very good in pass protection.
