Portal signings will happen but there won’t be many, that is if Vigen stays. Vigen has already said that he likes to build with high school recruits and use the portal to fill specific needs, not to rebuild the roster.

Huge loss. Kid got some more action later in season and really started to show his skills.
They are taking a few hits over there. And the qb transfer has zero stats to see whether he is <> Ah Yat. They may be fortunate to have that schedule next year.

I’m surprised we don’t have anyone transferring to us next year… Anyone else?
Not surprised at all, MSU signed a very large freshman class so there aren't really a lot of spots open right now for transfer players. My guess is that a lot of the incoming transfer activity will depend on who ends up leaving.

Agree. However there has been many players out there in the portal that would help us next year. Mainly curious as there should be some players wanting to play here and signing now.
There are thousands of unsigned players in the portal and there will be another portal window in the Spring when hundreds if not thousands more players will enter. MSU will be fine unless Vigen leaves and takes 20 or 30 players with him. NDSU hasn't announced any portal signings either, I can see why they wouldn't want to 10 days out from the National Championship game even if they had any players lined up.
Helps eliminate distractions by not signing anyone. No kids thinking they are being replaced.
Plus with the coaching uncertainty and rumors, signing with MSU and then possibly losing the coaching staff in a few weeks isn’t ideal.

I haven’t seen any statement by Vigen that he’s staying to coach MSU, which seems to leave things vague.

Typically, you see a lot of good players leave after a coach leaves.

For the Gris, it appears good players are leaving because the coach is staying.

Maybe we should give some of them over there a bit more credit for being a bit more intelligent :lol: :lol:

Luke McEndoo in the portal, 1 year left of eligibility. Any chance we land him? Or even go after him?

Dad is no longer at Oklahoma State - would love to see him part of the staff once we get some clarity on coaching staff

Didn’t realize Dad was no longer at OSU. HC or at minimum OL Coach? (Under the assumption that Vigen is gone and taking Al Johnson with him)

Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

I believe currently unemployed … Oklahoma State moved on from a good chunk of the staff

Ah.
Not terribly surprising after this season.

Do the Cats need another H/Full back? If he wanted to walk-on, sure, but not sure I'd spend a scholly on him, especially for one year.

Not really a need, I just remember he was a player out of high school who a lot wanted. Plus a cool full circle moment for the kid.

Would love to see Jason back with the Bobcats. He had a good 10 yr coaching run at Ok S. We don’t have a fit atTE/HB for Luke right now. If he can play another’s position I would love to see him here. He is a quality young man.

Mac is still at OSU, unless he was fired today.

His coaching bio gave me a 404 error earlier today. His Twitter bio also says "Ball Coach at Univ ?"

Not sure if I'm reading this article correctly, but it looks like Gundy pink slipped the entire Offensive and Defensive staff?

Wow! I'm wrong. He started with the OC and DC. I can't believe Gundy still has a job. He'll be gone after next season. Here's Vigen's next job.

Reminds me a bit of Hauck. Isn't a great coach but will always have a job because he's in tight with the big boosters.
