Now more than ever a move to a p5 does not equate to a greater opportunity to get to the NFL.

Going back to last year, I think Neyor will be buried at Texas this year. He won't play.
Cobbs is good, not great. Not sure a p5 is going to be in the cards.
Swen will land somewhere bigger but will not have the same impact he did here.
I love Cam's heart, but his will be a lateral move

Yes and no. They get 1 free transfer. After that, if they want to transfer again they have to follow the old rules: either transfer down a division or sit out a year if they transfer to another FBS school.

They’ve had a separation between P5 and G5 for quite sometime even if it isnt official. They should allow penalty free transfers to G5 from P5 even after the free one.

If a guy is transferring multiple times, do we really want that headache?

54% enrolled in a new school.
41% did not find a school to call home, we’re still looking.

59% of scholarship transfers received a scholarship at a new FBS school.
8%. Left the scholarship and became a Walk on.
33% remained without a destination.

I'm pretty sure every single Wyoming football portal player found a landing spot last year with many of them going to P5s (2 went to FCS and both of those moves made sense). Based on who has announced so far this year, I think all of those guys so far find a FBS landing spot too.

IMO we are not going to replace the talent that left through the portal, though we may come close (ultimately don't think we will find an impact player like Omothosho). BUT we may have talent just as good on the bench ready to step in. I wouldn't doubt it with how Bohl recruits and develops players..... on defense, at least.

I don't disagree Lander. I still think that WR recruiting and our WR coach are huge weak links. Sure, they found Neyor, but we need a talent upgrade, a coaching upgrade, and a scheme upgrade in the passing game if we are going to sniff a championship. I'd say the same also goes for QB. I am a simpleton in the world of football coaching and recruiting, but I wonder if Polasek is really a top drawer QB coach - or even serviceable. Watching our QBs this year and last, I would say he is not.
