RB Jawhar Jordan in the transfer portal

[TheCusian]

This one hurts. Maybe he's not got the hands we'd hoped for in the slot and he doesn't want to be the 2nd RB (kind of nuts if that's the case)

Sigh. Pound the portal.

 

[TheCusian]

I mean when you think about it...

Tucker made a clear case to be number 1.

lutz and Pena made a clear case to be number 2.

then don’t forget our Derrick Henry clone in Josh Hough..

I don’t see the playing time for Jordan at RB

I like Lutz and Pena but I'm not sure that case is that clear

That's not the best news I have heard all day.

This is the worst news I've heard today - and I just got an alert that my credit card was used at Pakistan International Airlines.

I am not surprised. Jordan was basically the #1 back early in the season and didn't really take advantage of that. Not that I wanted him to transfer. I like him and think he is good but I am not surprised given how last season played out.

 

[PhatOrange]

What a dummy but unless Tucker gets injured Tuck is the #1 for the next 4 years and maybe Jordan’s hearing Hough footsteps as the #2?

maybe they asked him to move to the slot? I always saw him as a Tavon Austin clone running back and wide receiver.

most teams roll with 3/4 blue chip running backs so this is a crushing blow to the depth, the drop off after Tucker is immense. I really hope Hough doesn’t come in overweight. We need him to come in like Ron Dayne rather than Adonis Ameen Moore or Garrison Johnson (who is also in the portal.)

we’ve now had three running back‘s enter the portal, plus Howard and Adams. Seems a bit odd no?

 

[PhatOrange]

Wow. Howard and Adams now him. Yikes. What’s happening with these running backs as to why they wanna leave. They must not like Gilbert or something

Gilbert or Lynch?

This one truly hurts. Obviously Tucker is the guy for the next 3 or so seasons. I don't see him staying 4 more (too much wear & tear & he'll likely want and be ready for a shot at the NFL). In any case, Jordan would have helped this team a lot, as a guy who could carry the ball 8-10 times and catch passes out of the backfield/slot. There's no positive way to spin this. Really stinks.

Lutz and Pena are not clear # 2 over Jordan.

 

[Shaggy1]

Lutz played his ass off this season. Not a flashy, but to me seemed to read everything better. Gimme more Lutz.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Unfortunate but not surprising, as mentioned previously had heard some bigger names were on the fence for leaving, I assume this is one of those. This is why people mocking those about "mass exodus" probably should have waited until at least the spring to start gloating.

The only one really odd would be Jordan.

 

[kcsu]

I wonder if he really wanted to play RB and the staff wanted him to move to WR? If he is going to stay at RB, I hope he really hits the weight room hard or he is going to spend a lot of time rehabilitating injuries.

He was completely misused.

We’ll be okay

exactly and Tuck got banged up a lot this year missing a lot of snaps. Losing JJ hurst big time. There’s no spinning it.

 

[PhatOrange]

of the 6 running backs on the 2020 roster 5 have left or are leaving the program.

Tucker (Adams Howard Johnson Pierre Jordan). When everyone on the depth chart bails it’s odd.

Lutz was moved for depth, Pena was recruited for the slot.

I suspect Pena will have to move into the Jorden role now at RB.

that is scary bad depth going into 2021

 

[Trueblue25]

I would happily accept Jarveon back should the door not be closed from his side. Sometimes hype takes on a life of its own on this board.

If we had a three RB room of tucker, lutz, howard. We’re set. Gives Hough time to adjust.

 

[Orangejet]

State of college football is sad when you don’t start...you transfer. Line them all up and if they want to transfer, show them the door for this must be one of the ways to right the ship. See ya later JJ!

 

[FloridaFan]

can we go a couple weeks without another kick to the nads on this team?

 

[JeremyCuse]

We’re well stocked at RB and I think Pena’s impressing with others in the slot.

best of luck to him

Unfortunately were about the exact opposite of well stocked at the position. If we don't bring in a transfer ourselves now, we will again be extremely thin at a crucial position.

 

[PhatOrange]

Lutz is a tough SOB and a warrior but he needs a tractor trailer size hole to run through and he’s not gonna make anybody miss.

IDK, they all have their own stories.

Adams was at OU, is a bit older, and RBs have super short shelf lives. Howard people alluded to stuff back at his home (which is far away). Pierre wasn't at this level. Honestly Jordan to be seemed to be a bit of board legend more than anything else, but maybe I'm wrong on that one.

Perfect projection...he could be our Tavon Austin...could be but that is still TBD

Well maybe he figures out things and changes his mind

Lutz should be our passing Down back. He was good in that spot and made better blocks then tucker imo

are you by any chance friends with Doug Gotlieb ?
