We have also offered two TEs, a DT from Harvard and a RB from Iowa St but IOLs seem to be the priority.

UNC analysis after he announced entering the portal: https://keepingitheel.com/2023/11/26/un ... er-portal/

As much as this coaching staff should be launched to the moon, that's a really good pull out of the portal.

Edit - Him, Franklin & a healthy Tackas (he was really hurt apparently and tried to play through it) gives us something at least at TE.

I'm guessing it was his hands.

The UNC kid was demoted to 3rd TE and had 11 receptions and 0.0 TDs last season.
Tackas is out of eligibility and you are thinking of the 2022 season.

Then over time I watched the transfer players, looked at stats and PFF data. And I realized that my eyes told me something that makes sense if you think about it. P5 players that end up transferring to BC are, unless the previous PFF scores tell you otherwise, looking for something easier. They couldn't cut it at that SEC, Big 10 school, etc... They want playing time, but they're not willing to work as hard to get it. Meanwhile, the guys that are coming from G5, FCS, etc.... they want to face something that is more difficult. They don't want to continue to play at that level because the other guys don't challenge them enough. BC wants the latter, not the former.

The data (median PFF scores of players transferring in):
2020 BC transfer players - P5 players 64.2 , LOWER level 70.9
2021 transfer players - P5 players 68.3, LOWER level 66.2
2022 transfer players - P5 Players 60.7, LOWER level 69.7
2023 transfer players - P5 players 59, LOWER level 63.85

If you're wondering why 2021 looks pretty good for P5, PFF scored Jurkovec and JL Woodbey pretty strongly that year. Jurk obvi for limited reps. Both fell off a cliff in their 2022 eval.

So, using this info:
Kamari Morales - UNC TE transfer - is NOT someone to be excited about. His PFF score from last year was 49.7. He can't block. He lost his job to two younger guys. He's leaving to come to BC because he wants an easier path to playing. UNC doesn't want him.
Treshaun Ward - K State RB - Excited, he's a stud. His PFF score last year was 77.5 (even a touch higher than Robichaux). I don't know how we got him. I assume most guys like this are chasing NIL dollars.
Bryquice Brown - Ga State CB - I don't know. Maybe optimistic. His PFF score was 60.3 last year. Could be depth guy.
Ryan Turner - Ohio State CB. Excited. He only played limited snaps, but his PFF score was strong, 72. I'll take him. One thing you do know, is Hafley is going to start him. Even if someone else is better. He promised this guy starting time. That's the issue with the P5 transfers we take in. Takacs, Rooks (one of lowest PFF scores on BC defense this year. Watch the tape. An out of position sieve) , Jurkovec, etc... we promise them playing time.

Who I'd like to see us land (all offered by BC) :
Omar Aigbedion - Montana State IOL 90 PFF score
Easton Kilty - North Dakota OL 83 PFF score
Davion Carter - IOL Memphis 79.9 PFF score
Upton Scout - Western KY CB 78.6
Justin Mayers - UTEP IOL 78.2
Devon Marshall - the Villanova CB that we've offered. 76.5 PFF score.
Micah Robinson - the Furman CB that we've offered. 73.1 PFF score.

Who I don't want us to get, of the offered:
Lucas Heyer - OL Stanford. Hasn't played a snap. Basically Kevin Pyne (who btw couldnt start at Rhode Island this year)
Javan Robinson - CB Wash State
Taurean Carter - DL - Arkansas
Isaiah Hastings - DE Alabama


Others I wish we had or would target:
I wish we would have been able to get THor Griffith, the DL from Harvard that Louisville secured.
I like Joey Slackman DL from Penn, he has big time offers.
Cory Dyches, the TE from Maryland is a stud.
I'd be interested in a good FG kicker. the guy from Duke, Charlie Ham is in the portal. UConn's Kicker is as well
I would have pursued Justin Joly, the TE from UConn, but he chose NC State already.
Controversial, but I would have pursued Tyler Van Dyke. I think he'd be an upgrade on TC, sorry to say. I know that's controversial, but I worry about being this committed to a QB.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter that much. Hafley is not the guy. It's like bringing in great ingredients to someone that doesn't know how to cook. We will have losing year next year, and he will be gone. But I thought I would share how I would think about the portal, and who we get.
