Darrell Gill in the portal?????

Overheard D Gill gonna hit the portal..

 

[upperdeck]

Not surprised. Not a good blocker and really struggled vs press coverage. If you remove the colgate game he dominated, he had 300+ with 25 catches.

He was put in the #1 spot to win 50/50 and couldn't win 10% of those.

Toosii gonna get some run. Did u overhear this in a bathroom stall?

Not expected, that would be very disappointing

Thanks for the good memories - saw the UConn game in person last year. Good luck wherever you land, provided it's not someone we play.

Next man up.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Wasn’t a great season for anyone on offense last year. Can see wanting a change. Also don’t undersell how talented the freshman receivers are. They will play day one.

 

[bigmike]

Young man has a lot of ability. Gonna miss him if true.

 

[Sdot]

I’d like to keep 2/3 of cook, gill and Emanuel Ross.

 

[djorange1989]

Hope he stays, not spectacular but a solid WR.

 

[richmondcuse03]

For what it's worth, I was told before the end of the year that Gill would portal. We have a lot of guys in the WR room to pay/retain and it's hard to keep them all. I was pretty surprised when he said he was coming back.

 

[Trueblue25]

havent heard anything about this but if we lose Gill AND Ross, thats bad news.

Not really that big of a deal is it? Russell and Gough are going to play.

 

[Acesn8s]

I think it’s a big deal Gill is our best WR IMO, Russell and Gough will be contributing but hard to lose experience

 

[TommyA13]

Yup, if they all go let Calvin be WR1. He absolutely has the talent for it and could prove a lot of people wrong.

 

[OttosShoes]

He’ll be missed.

Too bad we can’t get, like, a 5-star recruit or something to bridge the gap.

 

[richmondcuse03]

only so many catches to go around. Russell (x2), Cook, Boobie, D. Williams, the slot TEs, Hornsby, etc. sometimes you have to money ball these things.

 

[upperdeck]

Some of these guys also need to understand that to get to the next level playing on Specials will help and you need size or toughness to do that. they dont carry a ton of WRs who cant help them in other ways in the NFL

 

[RF2044]

Would be disappointing.

Don't blame him, after how the last 2/3 of the season unfolded, and our congenital incapability of throwing the ball effectively. Gill has NFL aspirations, and probably wants to not take the risk.

I rather have Gill than Cook. Especially given all the other slots we have.

 

[OrangeAl]

Hope he stays, not spectacular but a solid WR.

Spectacular is exactly what he is. Maybe not consistent, but you don't get compared to Randy Moss without being spectacular.

 

[Giants1973]

Wrong

 

[orangepassion]

Gill is our most important receiver. I'm not assuming Russell is coming in Day 1 and dominating.

 

[MikeSU02]

I know this will sound like copium, but losing guys we want to keep to the portal is an inevitability each year.

And while I loved Gill's ascension (sincerely), WR is one of the positions where I think we can make up ground between recruits and the portal on our end.

HOWEVER, we aren't talking Jeremiah Smith here.

But I do think he can be productive wherever he goes and hope he is.

 

[MikeSU02]

He didn't get compared to Randy Moss, he Moss'd a guy (he high pointed a catch over a defender or defenders a la Randy Moss that is a de facto title to doing that nowadays). It's a thing.

No one would compare him to Randy Moss in full. That would be insane.
