2025 Transfer Thread/ Portal Offers-- (31) Transfers to UM

Begging players in the portal is not a winning strategy. The griz need to develope players with strength and conditioning and good coaching. Currently it doesn't seem we have either.
When Hauck had his pick of the HS players it seemed we developed them. With this portal merry go round we can't seem to attract them.

I think you make a really really good point! Strength, conditioning & nutrition should be at the forefront of a solid program!

If you're looking for over twenty players a year in the portal you're not developing very many HS players. It would be different if Hauck was just stepping into this situation after a coach had left a mess but that isn't the situation is it?
Clearly he is struggling with stability since the portal has become a thing. He can no longer just bully everyone in the program. And by definition your getting someones cast offs in the portal unless your P4 and your getting players with the talent to move up.

The Griz have never looked for 20 players a year in Portal. What are you talking about? The Griz don’t have 20 extra scholarships a year. 65 decided 5? Portal guys probably don’t come for partials.

Hoops do the math!! Look how many have signed at UM via the portal so far this month and look how many we have offers out to!!! And that’s just what’s being reported on egriz. We are “looking” at more than 20 right now.

20 seems like a big number, even this year. They offer way more than they end up taking. Last year we added like 9 transfers, then maybe another couple over the summer.

When have we brought in over 20 portal players in one season since Bobby came back?

I'm also not sure why the offers out to transfers necessarily mean the staff doesn't think their young guys can step up. I'm sure a lot of you on here think we have nothing but scrub, NAIA-level players that suck left over, but I'm not sure the staff feels that way.

Agreed, probably not signing 20 more like 10-12

Yep. I bet it'll be 10 - 12 transfers and 24 , 25 freshman when it's all said and done. Plus I know we had over our allotment of roster players this season, so we had some grayshirts (not announced). Based on seniors, transfers, and rumored retirements, this should put right on track.

You do the math. Signed 5 through portal so far. One of is the whitefish kid from Minn Stare. Walk-on it partial. JC guys don’t come through portal. Have 6 outstanding offers through portal. Some won’t sign. So, 11 max, so far. Probably more like 7 or 8.

Appears your bias supercedes the need for excess sentences.

They are probably not even looking at more than 20, and they certainly aren’t going to sign that many. They don’t have enough scholarships available. And at least in the past, there had been a limit on the number of new scholarship per year. The limit was certainly not over 20. Look at the number of high school players already signed.
