Temple? He is a St Joes prep kid. And EJ Warner is portaling out.

Every coaching staff has a few misevaluations of players they recruited and signed. Ohio State acted quickly once they realized McCord is not the guy. Gotta give coach Day credit for pulling the plug on McCord.

They are going to need more TSA agents to get all these transfers processed......
There are already nearly 400 FBS scholarship players active in the NCAA transfer portal and more than a hundred who’ve announced in the past week they plan to transfer. But we know this much after last year: Monday is sure to be a mess. A year ago, 456 scholarship players appeared in the portal on Day 1, and a record-shattering 780 total players from FBS, FCS and Division II went in.

That was the first year of the NCAA’s transfer window system. The windows are shorter this time around, reduced from 60 days out of the year down to 45. But there’s no reason to believe that will result in fewer players transferring. The 30-day winter transfer period runs from Monday through Jan. 2. But the recruiting dead period starting on Dec. 18 makes this more like a two-week race to get transfers on campus and committed as fast as possible.

Oh, so you think that Day told McCord that he’d have to win the QB1 competition all over again? Interesting.

So far it’s 2 for PSU. Alex Barchetta, Punter, and WR Cristian Driver.
I'm thinking there will be a lot more. Big recruiting class coming and I'm sure we'll be as active in the portal as $$$ allows. You can't keep everyone and add more. It seems the way things go today that if you haven't cracked the 2 deep in your third year, it's time to look for new pastures. I don't like it.....devalues developing talent, but it's reality.

The kid is not a bad QB. You can tell that he's a traditional pocket passer and probably better suited for a Pro Set offensive. Which is still used in the NFL but not so much in college.

Off topic question. If he was given $100K in NIL money to play at OSU would he be able to keep that money or does it go back to the donors since he is leaving for another school??

Looks like a RB joining Kyle on the outbound train......

Others looking to leave Columbus include:
Omari Abor- DE
Cam Martinez- S
Victor Cutler-OL
Ryan Turner-CB
Parker Lewis-K
Jyaire Brown- CB
Kye Stokes- S

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day admitted on Sunday that the NCAA's transfer portal is "inevitable." At 11-1, these guys deserve better. Also they have to bear the travesty of no gold pants to sell on Ebay! :(

I would think any money he is given he will keep, its not a donation but rather he earned it for the use of his NIL. Any future money, depends if who ever is paying the NIL if they still want to use his.

Where do you go from OSU? Unless he was told to explore his options, this doesn't make a lot of sense. Maybe USC? But they have a 5* 2023 recruit on the roster....

Wow...he throws one more jump ball that Harrison Jr comes down with and O$U is undefeated, #1, and playing for NC.

Bizarre. Assume the poison nuts pushed him out. They may regret this.
They live in Ohio. Regret meter probably already pegged.

I'm locking this thread. If you wanted a separate thread for McCord, I could see that. But too many of you are using it to discuss various players entering the portal, and there already is a thread for that.
