2026 Potential Roster / Portal Entries

[Moontan]

Please add Tremble to the TE list as well.

 

[tptcuse]

I think a lot of the LB room is gone

Gary Bryant seemed to be indicating he would be back in the player interviews yesterday. Seems like crickets on Deslauriers so far?

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Where has Tremble been? He was such a disrupter and I haven’t noticed him in over a month.

The front 7 on D is very very scary. Really malpractice recruiting.

Do we really need 17 (18 with Samuel) WRs?

Hopefully one of the true Frosh RBs is legit. I like Hill but he is a complimentary back. We need a true future RB1.

The 'Cuse website indicates that he had one assisted tackle against ND, none against Miami.

About that...

Grant and Gough are also visiting VT now that Franklin is there. We might want to wait until signing day to confirm our Florida and VA kids are coming

DeAnte Sheffey decommited too apparently. Wow. Lots happening

 

[sufan59]

I think they are trimming the recruiting class for more portal additions. We have enough underclassmen in the program to develop. I’m sure we will see a lot more on and off the team.

Yeah the timing of all of these guys at once makes it seem like Fran reached out to notify they weren't takes any longer.

Fran needs experience, portal over HS in a lot of cases

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Can we try to prioritize needs?

You have no idea what they know. Clearly they feel an experienced cornerback is needed.

 

[sufan59]

Fran Brown not waiting to begin to make the changes he needs too to make sure we are safe from a derailment like this again.

If they don’t know that we have no talent or depth in the front 7, then they won’t be coaching here much longer. The front 4 has been a disaster the last two seasons and the LBs this season. Having a dozen CBs and nothing else is pointless.

They have like 3 or 4 lineman from Juco visiting this upcoming weekend. Would it be nice to get some proven experienced lineman at the P4, yes. We will see if they can do that, but it’s early.

 

[Hawknate144]

both of our starting safeties and our priamry nickle/slot corner are graduating, proven DB is a fairly big need,, not as much as DL or LB, but still a big need .

 

[Archimedes]

i hope we are consulting Steve on the portal.

We learned this year that he is basically the whole team.

Until that changes, what Steve wants, Steve gets. WR, TE, RB, anything.

If the scene at Notre Dame was any indication and how excited everyone in that program was to see him. It’s clear he is a natural leader. So yeah I’m sure as Fran system works for a QB to ideally be number 2 in the program he will have a lot of participation in this process.

The portal hasn’t even opened yet for like 99% of college football

Would suck to loose Gough and Grant. I read VTech is throwing a lot of money at the AD. 280 million. If it’s a bust they will be in serious financial trouble.

 

[Ttk.gman2]

don't expect any immediate impacts from true freshman . very very rare . most HS seniors need the redshirt year. donovan mcnabb was redshirted. future HOFers dwight freeney and marvin harrison played as true frosh. huge impact ? dwight had 3 tackles and marvin caught 2 passes 1st year.

We had many impact true freshmen this year? Samuels , Antoine , Byron , kaylib , Watson last year.

 

[Ttk.gman2]

We are a 3 win team who just gave up 70 points. I really don’t care who’s back next year.

So Samuels can leave? Byron? Steve?
