Poor TBB and his shersey?
He had talked about supporting underclassmen and bought a Costelli t-shirt jersey (shersey)

Looks like we may get a late transfer.
803 yards, 3 TDs, at Wofford this season. 20 yards per catch average. Might be the deep threat we're looking for.

Probably not portal related, but figured I'd post it. Jake Andrews has one more year of eligibility left, but it looks like he will graduate and move on.

At least one more 4-year transfer is coming (possible announcement tonight). A total of four more players have been signed that have not been announced yet (players asked to hold back so they could do their own announcements). Sumrall said they are also working on adding a couple of more JUCO signees as well (one of the four is also JUCO).

Peter Costello hit the portal We have only one QB with game experience and inconsistent to say the least. This will be interesting if Watson gets injured or is inconsistent again and we don't have the defense we had this year. I see the TN signee is early enrolling so that helps

More are leaving. Here’s my thoughts and $0.02 don’t really care what y’all think. Unless you’re leaving for family reasons, don’t let the door hit ya on the way out . Sorry not sorry if you’re a man you stay and fight not run like the over 1000 kids in the portal

I remember posting before this season: This maybe the last year we recognize college football due to NIL and Portal. If you mix NIL and Portal words you spell it Chaos . I don’t know how it will all shake out but like the proverbial Pandora’s box or tooth paste out of the tube. I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore! I actually grew up there too so I would know. Again, about the only thing I know!

I recall we had two backups kaleb barker and sawyer smith. Them guys stepped in and played extremely well. I kinda get that feeling out of the tucker kilcrease kid. If we don’t trust our backups to grow and mature then why are we recruiting them?

Bad season: Everyone thinks they're too good for the team.
Great season: Everyone thinks they are the reason for it.
If you don't want to be a Troy Trojan the door is that way.

JUST A REMINDER… We don’t know the reasons that players leave, not a need to know! We sometimes FORGET that “reasons” CAN include conversations with Troy coaches that MIGHT encourage some to look at other options. Especially when we are locked into 85 scholarships.

I feel they both played great kaleb had a great career and sawyer took over for an injured KB and led us to a bowl victory and played extremely well in the game then decided to transfer

Is what it is but I still feel the portal helps us more than it hurts. You have a giant pool to pull from with some really good talent wanting to showcase their skills. While we sometimes lose really good players to P5, I think there are more P5 players not starting that want to go somewhere to play and be seen.

While we sometimes lose really good players to P5, I think there are more P5 players not starting that want to go somewhere to play and be seen. To add to that, and to another posters point, you now have the ability to weed out players that aren’t working out and open up scholarships. Last year over half of the players in the Sunbelt who hit the portal ended up at FCS/DII schools. Only 25% ended up at power 5 programs. It’s chaotic but if you stay calm during chaos there is definitely opportunity to improve your roster. JS has shown his portal management skills are as good as any coaches out there. He has minimized those leaving you want to keep, send those you don’t want down the road and bring in the talent to make you better. He does that very well!

Just an FYI. My MIL gave me a Peter Costelli shoutout video as a Christmas gift. Peter called her and wouldn't take any money for making the video. Godspeed #3.

Come on Troy, get in that portal and pluck some talent, we have some holes to fill.
