Transfer Portal 2024

I tend to agree with that. I was just looking at the Spring Roster and I think Shepard may have been 3rd on the depth chart. We picked up Jalen Hunt from MSU who's a RS-Sr.

Just in looking at the roster briefly, MOST of the guys left that came in under Fickell that are still on the roster are locals, legacies and walk ons. There's a few outliers like Mason Fletcher, Lichtenberg, Schmitz and Drogosh are others. The one that sticks out like a sore thumb is Landon Fickell.

CSS commented after the spring game that Hunt is pushing Corleone, which will allow The Godfather to rest without a major drop-off.

This one could hurt. I think he should stay and gain experience to perhaps start next season. Corleone can’t play every down. Mistake, IMO.

[London 'Cat]

Former Fickell recruit that redshirted in 2022. Playing behind the Godfather on the line.

RS freshman LB Trevor Carter tweets he is entering the transfer portal. During the spring game.

Fickell recruit. Go figure. Absolutely no mention of Satterfield or current staff in his outgoing message.

[Lobot]

CB Todd Bumphis has entered the portal for UC as a grad transfer. He was class of 2020 which would make him one of the last remaining Fickell recruits. Academic All-Big 12 last season.

[GoBearcats31]

UC officially announced 10 new transfers https://gobearcats.com/news/2024/1/2...additions.aspx

Seems like Minkins (a former U of L player and WVU de-commit) is a name previously on the radar but not previously known to be committed

[bearcat1518]

Come on Bearcat 1518.... you missed my point. Some guys transfer expecting great things, and it doesn't happen. UC brought in a great WR from Washington State. He fizzled. Glad the PK is getting a 6th year, and doing so well. I saw no stories that the PK was hurt before I made that post. Evidently Coe did return from his injury, and lost his starting position to another PK.

Oh no got your point…but you were just flat out wrong on Coe. Before posting such strong opinions, there should be some sort of research on the actual facts

[Bearcat Chris]

Chris, first all you seem to have combined Cole Smith with Ryan Coe into some sort of FrankenKicker here. (Can I trademark that?) Coe was the kicker in 2022 and transferred out with the coaching change. To my knowledge he was not a grad student and last year at UNC he was in his 4th year and got hurt. So in theory he's got a grad transfer and a Covid year left? I wouldn't put the transfer on Coe. The vast majority of players from the Fickell era are gone at this point. There are some notable exceptions like Corleone, Prater and even Landon Fickell of all people, who are local guys that went to HS in the city.

This is the current roster on GoBearcats. It's not up to date but if you look at it, about a 3rd of these guys are gone thourgh the portal or graduated. Coe is not an anomaly.

Coe and Cole, you are right Lobot. As I remember, one was very weak, but did kick the winning FG in the conference championship game, on at cold, raining night, against Tulsa.
