So many varied threads always tough keeping up. How's UK doing with commitments besides Mertz in the transfer portal or guys that they feel good about landing? How many do you see coming from the portal?
At Iowa, we just nabbed our second portal pick up yesterday in TE Erick All from Michigan-- joining QB Cade McNamara from Michigan to Iowa. Significant pick ups in both cases. Biggest thing to me is both guys were captains on this year's Michigan team so we're adding big-time leadership.
Iowa has been ultra conservative previously in the portal but this year I bet we could easily see at least 6 coming via the portal. Ferentz is adapting to the times though I think probably with trepidation.
We so far have had one significant loss to the portal in LB Jestin Jacobs to Oregon. Hed scratcher move. Big NIL $$$$$ reported though for him in that move. He'll be a top 2 or 3 round pick in the draft in a year if he can stay healthy (been an issue with him).
