Portal thread. Who’s leaving, who’s coming.

[Barton Fink]

What Cignetti has done is unprecedented.

[Lurk]

This would be big. Carius Curne is in the portal and favored to us.

[Barton Fink]

Think he is visiting UGA this weekend. Then us.

athens saturday, monday in fayetteville.

It will be interesting to see how that works out.  It may tell us if we really have a competitive NIL or not.

[rzrbkfan69]

For Keshawn Davila, I have it on good authority that we gave him 275k and a Mercedes when we signed him from JUCO. What a waste. Hopefully this staff evaluates better.

[Natty_Ice]

Isn't this the day when we should start signing new portal players?  Should we be concerned?

[HTL]

Seen a bunch of defensive guys lining up visits here. We're about to get a DE from Auburn.

[vegashog]

if we're getting a bunch of commitments today, then it's not the big boys we want.

next week should start see them coming in (hopefully).

[DirkPiggler]

Sutton Smith (Memphis St RB) supposed to visit tonight.

In case anyone forgot that name...

[vegashog]

in addition to curne, we got visits lined up from the #4 dt from florida, a wr from auburn, an edge rusher from fsu, and a really good lb from unc.

I just hope Curne makes it out of that Georgia visit uncommitted.

and doesn't decide to take any more.

[Cardiac Hog]

I'm not going to be too upset about any of these guys portalling off a 2-10 team with a historic SEC-worst defense.  However, I think we should have kept a couple of these guys, if nothing else for depth.  Now we have to recruit an entire 3-deep on the D-line

Leaving:

Grayson Wilson - QB
Trevor Jackson - QB
AJ Green - RB
Andy Jean - WR
Shaq McRoy - OT
Ian Geffrard - DT
Kaleb James - DL
Charlie Collins - EDGE 
Kavion Henderson  - EDGE 
Justus Boone - EDGE
Tavion Wallace - LB
Justin Logan - LB
JJ Shelton - LB
Miguel Mitchell - S
Anton Pierce - S
Keshawn Davila - CB

Add the following hitting the road:

Ken Talley - DE
Danny Saili - DL
Selman Bridges - DB
Jaden Allen - CB
Rodney Hill - RB
Jace Petty - WR
Jabrae Shaw - S

I think for the 2nd year in a row I'm not sad or mad about any of these defections.

i feel the same way. especially on the defensive side.

2 tackles in 12 games. wow.  $137,500 per tackle and a Mercedes? Pittmman should be sued for fraud/theft (yet this is just one of multiple examples of this).

In 2025, Arkansas's average income varies by source, but generally falls around the low $60,000s for individual pay, with a median household income near $50,000-$58,000, reflecting a lower cost of living but also lower wages compared to the national average, with key sectors like Management and Finance showing higher pay, while Hospitality and Food Service remain lower

and they wonder why 95% of the fan base wants to pony up for NIL.

how does the Mercedes or any car work in an NIL deal? Is it a lease for a year and the NIL covers the payments?
Does the kid tote the insurance bill or is the NIL picking that up too?

And to think poor Davila has to pay AR tax since the no tax didn't go into effect until this week and his paying the tax bill will require more effort than his entire 2025 season.
