Class of 2022 WR Omari Evans (TX) Portal from PSU/ Visiting

[SanDiegoCuse]

Any word on how the visit went?

Did we ever get confirmation that he ended up visiting?

Oy, won’t be shocked if that Washington visit doesn’t even happen and he signs a deal with Texas Tech on the spot.

Yep that’s what I am afraid of too. I think we had to lock him down on his visit to get him. If he ended up visiting us

SU appears to be a non entity for any portal kids of substance. We seem to barely be getting a sniff. We still have so many holes on defense. It seems the cost of using the portal made a significant jump this off season.

On3 wasn’t projecting him to Texas Tech for their health. Writing was on the wall here.

It's very curious that we seem to REALLY want to bring in a WR considering we have WR depth and other more pressing needs.

Depends on what you think you can get. If you don't think you can grab guys that fill the bigger needs, you may want to get the best players you can, regardless of position. I would love to see us get some high end pass rushers and studs on the oline, but if this is a guy that can take the top off the defense better than who we have, that can help too.

Some of this is natural recruiting attrition. If all a kid wants is a bag then I doubt he is the kind of DART recruit Fran is interested in. No idea if that is the basis for Evan's interest in T-T, but it is often the case with portal recruits. One of the reasons why Fran is not relying much on the portal at this point.

How many times, they aren’t looking to build the team through the portal, they took 35 freshmen for a reason. Maybe their assessment is they can fill spots with guys on the roster
