If anyone wants to feel dirty you can see all the Caden stuff on eGriz, where the two main topics of discussion today are being whiny little babies about Mony Mony and a long thread hoping for MSU to lose their best players to the portal.
I did some digging, and if I'm not mistaken, HookedonGriz started the rumor over on Egriz about some reporter saying Caden Dowler is in the portal on On3 website, and now that rumor has made it over here somehow. I looked all over to find Dowler on there. I went to Caden's twitter, Instagram... nothing to be found. If he did in fact enter the portal, we would surley be hearing from him first.

Those guys over on Egriz also said Lamson is likely leaving just because he didn't strictly say he is going to run it back on camera after the game was over. Delusional land over there.
Nope, all I said over there is that I saw or read somewhere (couldn’t recall exactly where at the time) that I saw Caden Dowler was set to visit UCLA and I believe Cincinnati. While I was trying to find the source of that, someone else posted this article directly from Pete Nakos with On3 which is the list I had seen:

The college football transfer portal is officially open for business. The 15-day window is expected to be a mad dash with programs trying to build out rosters for the 2026 season while working to retain their top players.

On3 has the latest intel on where over 40 of the top transfers could land and their official visit schedules.

Transfer Portal Intel​

Cincinnati QB Brendan Sorsby
Texas Tech and LSU are the two schools going head-to-head to land Brendan Sorsby. The Tigers have emerged as a serious contender as of late. Sources tell On3 that Sorsby is expected to visit Texas Tech on Friday.

Auburn WR Cam Coleman
The two early schools to watch are Texas and Texas A&M, and sources have told On3 they like where the Longhorns stand early on. It would add a top weapon in the passing game for Arch Manning. Sources have told On3 the Longhorns are working to get Coleman in on a visit on Friday and Saturday. Texas A&M is working to get him to College Station following the trip to Austin.

Penn State EDGE Chaz Coleman
Ohio State continues to be the school to keep tabs on in Chaz Coleman’s transfer portal process, sources tell On3. Coleman is a Warren, Ohio native. He has three years of eligibility remaining and his raw talent makes him one of the top players entering the portal. Tennessee and LSU are other schools to watch, sources tell On3’s Steve Wiltfong and I.

Notre Dame QB Kenny Minchey
Sources have told On3 that Nebraska is one to watch for the Notre Dame transfer quarterback. On3’s Pete Nakos has logged a prediction for the Cornhuskers to land Minchey.

Oklahoma CB Devon Jordan
The Sooners transfer defensive back is lining up a trip to Cincinnati for this weekend, his agents tell On3
Coaches can’t be in contact with players who aren’t in the portal. Would be pretty hard to take a visit and not meet with coaches.

Now I guess it’s possible Caden entered the portal and hasn’t said anything, but it seems unlikely. And, immediately visiting the day after the natty? Again, possible, but seems unlikely.
Yes valid points, but unfortunately these players’ agents are talking to the coaches and recruiting coords regardless of portal entry. There’s a lot more tampering happening unfortunately. Lots of examples of it….even just with Griz recently…Amick and Loud enter the portal and have committed to Duke and Iowa St like a day later. Nothing happens that fast without some advance convos.

So Powdrell and Blake Stillwell are back in the portal. Not currently Cats but Cats from before.

I understand that, but no coaching staff is going to be bold enough to host a player who hasn’t entered the portal. Work the lines through agents, sure. A full visit? No way.

Regardless, the info from On3 was poor. Caden came back on the team charter on the 6th and is having surgery today. Can’t very well be visiting UCLA and Cincinnati on those days then, can he?

If anyone wants to feel dirty you can see all the Caden stuff on eGriz, where the two main topics of discussion today are being whiny little babies about Mony Mony and a long thread hoping for MSU to lose their best players to the portal.
I did some digging, and if I'm not mistaken, HookedonGriz started the rumor over on Egriz about some reporter saying Caden Dowler is in the portal on On3 website, and now that rumor has made it over here somehow. I looked all over to find Dowler on there. I went to Caden's twitter, Instagram... nothing to be found. If he did in fact enter the portal, we would surley be hearing from him first.

Those guys over on Egriz also said Lamson is likely leaving just because he didn't strictly say he is going to run it back on camera after the game was over. Delusional land over there.
Nope, all I said over there is that I saw or read somewhere (couldn’t recall exactly where at the time) that I saw Caden Dowler was set to visit UCLA and I believe Cincinnati. While I was trying to find the source of that, someone else posted this article directly from Pete Nakos with On3 which is the list I had seen:

Transfer Portal Intel: Day 1 brings early QB moves, visit schedules​

How QB Byrum Brown can ACCELERATE Alex Golesh's start with Auburn
Watch More
The college football transfer portal is officially open for business. The 15-day window is expected to be a mad dash with programs trying to build out rosters for the 2026 season while working to retain their top players.

On3 has the latest intel on where over 40 of the top transfers could land and their official visit schedules.

Transfer Portal Intel​

Cincinnati QB Brendan Sorsby
Texas Tech and LSU are the two schools going head-to-head to land Brendan Sorsby. The Tigers have emerged as a serious contender as of late. Sources tell On3 that Sorsby is expected to visit Texas Tech on Friday.

Auburn WR Cam Coleman
The two early schools to watch are Texas and Texas A&M, and sources have told On3 they like where the Longhorns stand early on. It would add a top weapon in the passing game for Arch Manning. Sources have told On3 the Longhorns are working to get Coleman in on a visit on Friday and Saturday. Texas A&M is working to get him to College Station following the trip to Austin.

Penn State EDGE Chaz Coleman
Ohio State continues to be the school to keep tabs on in Chaz Coleman’s transfer portal process, sources tell On3. Coleman is a Warren, Ohio native. He has three years of eligibility remaining and his raw talent makes him one of the top players entering the portal. Tennessee and LSU are other schools to watch, sources tell On3’s Steve Wiltfong and I.

Notre Dame QB Kenny Minchey
Sources have told On3 that Nebraska is one to watch for the Notre Dame transfer quarterback. On3’s Pete Nakos has logged a prediction for the Cornhuskers to land Minchey.

Old Dominion QB Colton Joseph
Linked to Florida State throughout the transfer process, Colton Joseph is also expected to visit Wisconsin in the near future.

Texas WR Parker Livingstone
Sources have told On3 that an early school to monitor in this recruitment is Indiana. The Hoosiers are expected to get the transfer wideout on campus as early as this weekend.

North Texas QB Drew Mestemaker
The early school to watch at this point is Oklahoma State, where he has ties from his time at North Texas with Eric Morris. But sources have told On3 to keep tabs on Indiana and Miami, too, for the true freshman standout.

Arkansas State DL Cody Sigler
Sources tell On3 that Auburn, Oklahoma, Penn State and Florida State are all expected to land transfer visits.

NC State WR Terrell Anderson
Florida, USC, Georgia, Ole Miss, TCU, SMU, Louisville, UCLA, LSU, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Michigan, Florida State and Miami are early schools to monitor in this recruitment, sources told On3.

Utah EDGE John Henry Daley
Michigan remains the early school to watch for the top pass rusher available in the transfer portal. Daley will also continue to take stock of the rest of the market.

Colorado State RB Lloyd Avant
Sources tell On3 that Oklahoma will get the first visit for the transfer running back.

Jacksonville State RB Cam Cook
Sources tell On3 that Houston and Tennessee will get visits from the running back who rushed for 1,659 yards in 2025.

Wisconsin QB Billy Edwards
North Carolina is the early school to watch for the former Maryland transfer quarterback.

Louisville RB Isaac Brown
Sources have told On3 that Texas is the top team to beat to land Louisville transfer running back Isaac Brown. The All-ACC selection and former Freshman All-American is one of the top returning running backs to college football in 2026.

Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt
Three schools continue to be mentioned the most in Sam Leavitt’s transfer portal recruitment as of late: LSU, Miami and Oregon. The Ducks will be waiting on an NFL draft decision from Dante Moore following the conclusion of the 2025 season.

North Texas RB Caleb Hawkins
Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas have all been tied to the true freshman standout, but sources view the Cowboys as the team to beat in the recruitment.

USF QB Byrum Brown
Auburn remains the early school to watch to land USF transfer quarterback Byrum Brown, who has experience in Alex Golesh’s system. If Sorsby does not land at Texas Tech, expect the Red Raiders to express interest in Leavitt or Brown.

Missouri QB Beau Pribula
Sources have told On3 that two early schools to watch for the former Penn State transfer quarterback are Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech.

Pitt LB Rasheem Biles
One of the top linebackers in the transfer portal, he’s set to visit Ohio State on Jan. 5, his agents tell On3.

Western Georgia DL Kourtney Kelly
The transfer defensive lineman will be at Clemson on Monday followed by Kentucky, his agents tell On3.

Akron OL Maasai King
The offensive line transfer is scheduled to visit Iowa State and Oklahoma, per his agents.

TCU QB Josh Hoover
While Kentucky and Louisville have been publicly linked to Josh Hoover, sources continue to tell On3 that Indiana is the top school to watch in this transfer recruitment.

Florida QB DJ Lagway
The former five-star recruit has been tied to Baylor, LSU, Miami and Louisville, among other schools. Expect Lagway to watch how the market plays out on the opening day of the portal before making any decisions.

LSU OL Carius Curne
One of the top interior offensive linemen to enter the transfer portal, the expectation is that he will take visits to Georgia and Arkansas.

Michigan State WR Nick Marsh
Two early schools to keep tabs on in this recruitment are Notre Dame and LSU, sources have told On3.

Man really thought next year would be his year. Wonder if he got word we were looking at more WR dropdowns...
I'm thinking that we got some really really good WRs coming in as true Freshman this year. 5'9" Bozeman native Carter Dahlke, and 6'2" Houston native Kaden Cole. I know we got other WRs in the wings already as well. Starters projecting for next year are Taco, Steele, and Woods. That's already probably the best WR core in the BigSky!
