Transfer Portal doesn't even officially open until midnight,

Starting point is 00:00:59 but man, it's already churning. Cal is losing four running backs. How many do you do that? they have on their roster? They're losing four running backs who all entered the portal last night. Syracuse is about to lose one of their top receivers, Trevor Payne. Now, Syracuse, Kenton has also now been linked. They have odds on it at 20 to 1 and Clay Travis was writing an ex post about it where he mentioned Syracuse is one of the possible suitors for, you know, former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamalejava, who we've talked about a lot.

Starting point is 00:01:35 in recent episodes. But KG, you tell me first, would you be buying the possible links to Syracuse after everything that's gone on with him? I'm not. I would if I thought that Syracuse had the money. I think that everybody needs to realize something about this. These coaches are lying to you all. And we really need to be honest about this.

Starting point is 00:02:01 Because at this point, I'm getting sick and tired of this high and mighty. act from these coaches. Oh, we put coach her before everything and we want upstanding young men before everything. I have spoken on my show on Lockdoor Wolfpack about, hey, coach X, Y, Z, bought in player, A, B, and C

Starting point is 00:02:20 who did think L, C&D in the past that was not necessarily the best thing. And I've owned that about, hey, this coach is willing to bring in this player who had a charge against him, we're talking about a man who asked for more money here. And we're talking as if he's, he's

Starting point is 00:02:35 murdered somebody. Like this is a situation. It's a fair point. Where again, the money does not add up for Syracuse. The money, I don't think that they have an extra two, three million in the coffers land around to do this, but the need is there. And this is the last thing I'm going to say to it, and I'm going to pass it back to you because I know I get a little Southern preacher about these things. But when we look at this, if Nico had made this decision three months earlier, would this

Starting point is 00:03:03 even be a story? No. Not purely as big. Three months ago. And he said, I want more money. I'm leaving to get paid three months ago. Everybody would say, I mean, you're one of the highest paid players in college, but get your money.

Starting point is 00:03:19 It makes sense. It is because right now we are in the point of the sports cycle where the WNBA draft, the NBA playoff first round, the NHL wild card race. That's what the big thing is. in the news cycle right now. So when we get something for football, we have to clamor on to it. But let's stop pretending,

Starting point is 00:03:41 like all of these coaches are men of such great care of. And I love me some Fran Brown. So this is not a denigration or castigation of Fran Brown. This is of this, all these coaches. We would never.

Starting point is 00:03:53 We want a certain type of young man on our team. Another SEC team just had one of their boys go to, it wasn't media day or anything like that. But when I asked, what's the motto of the defense line this year. You know, it was choke women out. It was CBO, but he replaced B with women. But let's stop pretending as if we, this is like, oh, yeah, nobody's going to take anybody that's not a choir before. That's not how this works. But again, the money ain't there. It's not about the

Starting point is 00:04:22 morality or, oh, it's too much of a distraction. Well, and the funny thing is, I don't necessarily think Nico is going to end up getting anywhere near the money he wanted. I agree. Because I think Tennessee, I think, very successfully kind of got in front of this thing. And, you know, Josh Heipel and the volunteers in the court of public opinion look a lot better than Nico. Nico has been characterized as someone who is basically trying to leverage the system in, you know, the worst possible way when people talk about the timing that he went through 14 spring practices and then holds out of the last. one and he's putting himself over his team. Oh, you made a great point. I mean, he didn't kill anybody. People are kind of acting as if he did. But I really feel like his, his market is going to, he's

Starting point is 00:05:16 probably going to end up making less money than Tennessee was going to pay him under his original NIL deal. I mean, there was one. I was reading an ESPN article today. And, you know, obviously, this is just one man's opinion. But a general manager at a power four school said, quote, I think he has zero market. It will be an interesting test of how smart and disciplined colleges are in looking at him. Now, from the Syracuse point of view, from a purely football standpoint, you could argue that why not kick the tires on Nico? Because it's a lot more proven than anything else they have in that building. Ricky Collins, who's already been named their starting quarterback, is an unproven commodity. I know he's got some pedigree and the fact that he was on

Starting point is 00:06:03 LSU's roster and that's where he transferred from. So clearly he was an excellent player coming out of high school. But Ricky Collins is a really unproven commodity, you know, trying to compare him to what, you know, Kyle McCord was last year who exceeded our expectations because he didn't do a whole lot at Ohio State. He really blossomed at Syracuse. But yeah, if I'm Fran Brown and I'm looking from a purely football standpoint, I say, okay, I have a very unproven quarterback right now that's my starter.

Starting point is 00:06:31 this guy, and again, we can scrutinize Nico's numbers, you know, under 3,000 passing yards, a lot of handoffs, but it's a lot more proven than the guy you currently have. But at the same time, why I have a hard time feeling like Syracuse are going to be the ones to make a big swing here is that Fran Brown seems to be the type of guy that preaches, no nonsense, no distractions. It's not about money here. So whether this would be completely true or not would look really hypocritical, I think, if that was the team to go out and grab Nico. Yeah. And I, from that standpoint, I agree. But again, a lot of these coaches, I'm not going to say they're going to have egg on their face

Starting point is 00:07:14 because I don't think that Nico is a superstar player right now. I think he's a superstar talent. I think that he has the arm talent to make every throw, all that good stuff. superstar talent. A superstar player does not make. I play with many a guy. You know, when you put him in shorts and t-shirt, he can run around, he can do everything at a level.

Starting point is 00:07:33 You're like, oh, he's got to be an all-star. Then you put him on the field and it's like, let's save him for a special package. Let's, you know. But with that being said, a lot of these coaches are taking these righteous indignation moments when it's like, stop. Your team does not have the quarterback room

Starting point is 00:07:54 to justify that stands. I can't remember what GM it was, but this is the NFL GM and said, if Hannibal Lecter could make a tackle, we'd just say he had an even problem. Like, let's stop playing around here. Nico may not be, again, he has not proven himself to be a first-round pick NFL guy.

Starting point is 00:08:17 Yeah, he has not. He got paid $2 million to sit on the bench his freshman year. That is a factual statement. He did not perform very well. Redshirt freshman year. Factual statement. Going into this third year, the pressure was going to be on,

Starting point is 00:08:34 and he wanted more money going into this year. I get it. I get it. But let's stop acting like, oh, you know, we're too good to kick the tires. We just don't want to make sense. Oh, it's too much of a distraction. You know what the biggest distraction is?

Starting point is 00:08:49 Losing. Losing games, yeah. Losing, man. makes everything more distracted. Yeah. When they find out you got the toughest schedule, which, by the way, congratulations Syracuse,

Starting point is 00:09:00 because of this move by Nico, your schedule just got a whole heck of a lot easier. That's a great point. It got a whole heck of a lot easier. So you're looking at a situation where, again, would it make sense in terms of the things that Fran Brown preaches?

Starting point is 00:09:15 No. But would it make sense in terms of the current makeup of his roster? I'll ask you, Dono, do you think they have any quarterback that if they threw for 4,000 yards next year, you would be like, that checks out? That makes sense. No.

Starting point is 00:09:31 Oh, okay. If Nico threw for 4,000 yards next year, would you say that checks out? That makes sense. I mean, to be honest, not based on what he did last year, but I would be less surprised because of his pedigree. Again, he's a superstar talent. He has not figured it out under Hypo, but we've seen it time and time again where a guy cannot figure it out at one place.

Starting point is 00:09:52 They go elsewhere, and then all of a sudden, they take off like a rocket. Jameson Williams was nobody at Ohio State. He took off and went down to Alabama. All of a sudden, what happened? Oh, he's a first round pick. Oh, he's a top 15 pick. So, you know, again, we can pretend. We have other quarterbacks.

Starting point is 00:10:12 Like, you know, when Joe Burrow left Ohio State, I don't think any Buckeye fans were losing any sleep over that. And he went on two years later had, one of the greatest quarterback seasons ever at LSU. Justin Fields of Georgia. The list goes on and on and on about all these guys. And it was like, oh, he's no good. He can't do it. Or the guy above him is just a little better.

Starting point is 00:10:38 Anybody want to tell me where Jake Fromm is these days? What he's up to? Anybody know? Anybody have a cool? Oh, okay. All right. But that's my point. He's clerking a circuit city right now.

Starting point is 00:10:49 But that's my point. That's my point. He's the regional manager for Toys R Us. But that's my point. That's my exact point, right? Like, we sit here and say, like, oh, we know what Nico is or is not. Maybe a change of senior will be good for. And here's the biggest deal.

Starting point is 00:11:06 Maybe this humbling will get him to a better place. But again, it won't be at Syracuse. It won't be at UNC. It won't be at very likely any ACC school. Because, again, these guys are sitting on there. their high horse saying, hey, we're not playing it. We're not taking that kind of guy. And, you know, more power to him.

Starting point is 00:11:27 I hope it works out for all of them in terms of their quarterback room and what they're doing. Well, and also, like, his options are automatically a little bit limited because the SEC does not allow SEC to SEC transfers in April. So you can immediately eliminate every other school in the SEC because of that, you know, unless he wants to go the Xavier Lucas route and just like completely challenge. you know, the alleged rules, but I don't think that's in the cards there. But there's some other Syracuse actual transfer news and not just speculation. Plus, Miami's lost a couple of defensive players into the portal.

Starting point is 00:12:06 NC State has lost a couple of offensive players into the portal. Let's talk about portal losses when we come back. You want to keep it locked right here. We're only getting started unlocked on ECC. Guys, the only ticket app that Kenton and I use is game time. And why not? You're getting the best features, the best prices right up to the last minute.

Starting point is 00:13:42 Locked on Cains. I host that. It's been a lot to talk about, I think, on both of our other shows when it comes to transfer portal. So, you know, so far, and again, the portal doesn't actually officially open until the 16th. You know, Miami has lost a defensive tackle. Josh Horton, not that surprising. His career to this point has just been marred by injuries, has not being able to practice consistently and move up the ladder. He's going to try for a clean slate somewhere else.

Starting point is 00:14:09 Three years of eligibility left, six foot four, 300 plus pounds. He can end up being really good somewhere. I think the more surprising one for Miami was Zayquan Patterson, who's heading into his second year as a safety, didn't have a great freshman year, but most of Miami's defensive backs weren't very good last year. He's a high four-star coming out of high school

Starting point is 00:14:31 at Shamanad in South Florida. He missed most of Miami's spring with injury this year, so I didn't really have a great sense as to where Zayquan was trending, heading into next year, but Patterson's going to be in the portal. I mean, I would imagine, Kenton, that within the next couple of days,

Starting point is 00:14:48 there's probably going to be maybe close to another half dozen Miami players, hopefully no starters who, you know, end up hitting the portal. I see NC State has lost a few guys into the portal already. Receivered Dakari Collins who started his career at Clemson. I think you guys are losing a running back as well. What's going on with NC State with their portal losses?

Starting point is 00:15:11 I think that what's going on with NC State, what's going on with Miami is just indicative of where we are in college sports. I mean, you know, we're not naming guys. that we're like, hey, this is a superstar talent because that's normally not what you see leaving at this time. Now, we'll get to a little later, a guy who is borderline, that superstar type of guy

Starting point is 00:15:31 who was leaving his school. But for the most part, when you get to the Spring Portal, it's guys who the numbers game just doesn't really work out well for them. And, you know, I said on Locked on Wolfpack, when you think about Kendra-Rafel and Dakarie College, those two guys I've only heard good things about. I've only heard great things about them.

Starting point is 00:15:48 I have not heard anybody said bad word about them. The unfortunate part is, even last year when NC State had Jordan Waters from Duke and Hollywood Smothers and Kidgerapia, who were all playing, while a backup running back named Duke Scott was redshirting, I heard from multiple people. Duke Scott is not the third best running back on this team. He is just not. And I said, well, that math don't work out because there are three guys playing and he's redshirting. well, do the math again this year. It makes sense that, you know, somebody got passed up. The same thing for the Garik Collins.

Starting point is 00:16:27 He was returning as our third leading returning receiver, and that's if you include the exit of Kevin Concepcion. But again, the numbers are really, really tough. And I've spoken ad nauseum about how good that wide receiver recruiting class was for NC State. in terms of 2023, 2024. So, you know, the numbers game works out

Starting point is 00:16:53 how it does. And I will tell you, I'm a little bit more concerned about Miami's interior because, I mean, you all have, what, four defensive tackles on scholarship now?

Starting point is 00:17:03 Like, that's a little bit worse. Probably about five. So here's the thing. And the thing is, Josh Horton was probably not going to be a factor at that position.

Starting point is 00:17:14 So it doesn't really change my outlook from Miami. Miami needed to add a defensive tackle or two because I just couldn't count on Josh Horton to get healthy and play. So I don't think that the math really changes, but the math doesn't stop mapping, Kenton. And Miami still needs to add guys at defensive tackle because there's like there's a really clear top three. And they're all, I like them all the top three. Justin Scott, Joshua Horton, or not Josh Moore, that's the guy who's transferring. Justin Scott, David Blay, who transferred in from Louisiana,

Starting point is 00:17:48 of Tech and Ahmad Moten. Like that, that's my top three. They've got some other younger guys, Artavius Jones, Dante Simpson, Mike and Newton, but really young unproven guys there. But like there's a clear top three, you know, Miami would like to have like five guys that they could really, you know, count on to rotate in and play in that position. That's what you need. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:18:12 Yeah. Yeah. You need that number just about in the ACC or in any power four football or else. You're going to be in some big trouble because, again, that's, that's, I'm telling you as a defensive lineman that was medically retired. It's a very physically grueling position to be in there and have two, three hundred pounds coming down on you every place. It's not easy.

Starting point is 00:18:32 No, no, certainly not. So, and, all right, let's talk about what I would argue to this point, right? Maybe the most impactful ACC player to hit the transfer portal is Trevor Payne, from Syracuse, who was first or second in every receiving category this past season for the Orange, led the team in receptions with 84, second on the team in receiving yards with 941, first on the team with nine touchdowns this past year. I mean, Trevor Pena, Treborapena, the B, had an awesome season this past year. He's actually being linked potentially to an ACC school and a big 12 school.

Starting point is 00:19:15 Miami and Texas Tech are the two teams that seem to be so far, like out in front for Trevor Pena. But this is McKenton. This is obviously very impactful for Syracuse, who, you know, we already talked about their uncertainty at the quarterback position. And Pena would have been their most reliable top returning receiver this year. He was absolutely going to be the safety blanket for whatever quarterback was going to be the guy. He was absolutely going to be the steady veteran presence. in a past catching group that, again, you've got to replace some guys now.

Starting point is 00:19:50 Like, that's a group that, objectively speaking, outside of Pena, you were going to have to replace a good amount of production there. And you get him to stay throughout the spring and then he leaves. That's a little worrisome. Because why does a guy with his profile leave in the spring? This isn't a guy that anybody's like, you know, the wide receivers are nipping that trepurs heels. No, that's not what was happening there.

Starting point is 00:20:19 So I'm very intrigued to see what the situation is there and obviously where he lands because you and I talked about the spring portal, you have already gone through spring ball. You have already gotten hundreds of reps in with these guys, with pads on, saying this is what this looks like. This is how this route is. This is how he throws this ball. And so, you know, whatever he saw from those quarterback,

Starting point is 00:20:44 whatever he saw from that team was enough for him to say, actually, I'm good here. I'm good here. Because, of course, neither of the teams that are linked to him would do anything in terms of Tampa. They would not do that. So, never.

Starting point is 00:20:58 He hops in, he hops in the portal under, you know, completely under his own volition and based on his own decision with no outside influence. I'm interested to see where he lands. Well, let me say something, though. This is not, this is not to, you know, defend. anybody, but like, I honestly don't know what tampering, what that word actually means in college football anymore. Because to my understanding, you know, third parties are able to make contact

Starting point is 00:21:30 without technically violating tampering rules. Like, how is it that the transfer portal hasn't officially opened? Hear me out. Hear me out. I'm listening. I'm listening. I'm listening. I'm listening. So, like, how is it the transfer portal hasn't even opened yet and you already see guys getting crystal bald to go to certain places like how does that happen like you know we mentioned unc is out of the neco sweepstakes but you know unc has been crystal bald to land geo lopez the starter from south alabama like you see like and it we'll talk about the cal running backs but i already see jaden ot getting heavily linked to oklahoma it's like how does any of this happen when the portal's not open. One of the players that is transferring away from Miami, you know, his uncle,

Starting point is 00:22:19 who's kind of his agent, this is the uncle of Zayquan Patterson, is talking about all, his phone is ringing nonstop from these third parties. And so it's like, I don't even know if tampering exists, Kenton, because like, I think tampering just means an official staffer or coach cannot contact a player. It doesn't mean like some street agent or third party can't. It's happening everywhere. You know, it's one of those things, you know, when you were a kid and your brothers and sisters were annoying you and they were like, oh, I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you and their finger was right up on you. This feels like one of those things where it's like, I as the head coach of Middle Eastern Delta Valley State didn't tell anybody that they or I didn't talk to you directly. I may have put a bird in somebody's ear

Starting point is 00:23:10 that didn't put a bird in your ear that said, hey, you know, I think they like you a lot over there. I think they like you a lot over there. You know, the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes may want you a lot, you know? And, you know, what do you think about joining the Cains potentially? Because, of course, the Cains on this show

Starting point is 00:23:31 do not do any temporary, and they wouldn't do anything like that. No, of course not. Christopher. ball, crystal ball don't care about no crystal ball, not him. Well, the other slimy coaches out there, those strikes, I'm sure that they're working in. I will tell you this, Dono, it is very interesting to see how you're right, and the third parties are very loosely allowed to kind of do their thing here. And I think that this all, at the end of the day, all of this comes back to the NCAA moved

Starting point is 00:23:58 like the mafia for too long, and now they have no control over it. instead of just making sensible normal rules and say, you know what, we kind of got to get out in front of this and be fair to these kids. Instead, they were suspending guys for getting bagels and cream cheese. And now all of a sudden you got guys leaving, even though they're getting paid $2 million. This is the monster.

Starting point is 00:24:20 This is the monster that you all born. When they told us Peter Warwick was the worst man in the world for getting a shirt or something like that. And all of a sudden, now we are where we are. Okay. Yeah, because, like, I remember, like, 10 years ago, you know, Shabazz Napier played basketball, I think, I think at Yukon was complaining because, like, he was, he was hungry. Like, he couldn't get a free bagel at midnight. He was hungry because of, because of NCAA rules. And now, now we can't stop third parties. Man, I, I feel like Cal fans probably would imagine there's some tampering going on because how many running backs can you possibly lose in,

Starting point is 00:25:01 one day. I didn't even know how many they had on scholarship. Pal has lost four within a 24-hour span. Four running backs hitting the transfer portal. We'll talk about it next year on LockdowneACC. You ever check your bank account and wonder, where did all my money go?

Thank you so much for making Lockdown ACC your first listen and your first watch that if your next listen, I mean, this time of year, you got to check out our friend Brian Smith on the portal podcast. Brian was on with us so much. like people thought we had a third host for a while. He's done so many episodes with us. You want to check out his podcast talking all of the madness of the transfer portal

Starting point is 00:26:43 on the portal podcast. Speaking of madness, Kenton, within one day, Cal Golden Bears have lost running back. Byron Cardwell is in the portal. Jaden Ott, a show favorite, Ot to go is now to go. He's available in the portal. Justin Williams Thomas, who has,

Starting point is 00:27:05 I didn't put up any stats last year. He's a well-traveled guy. I think he's played for like three different teams, including Stanford. He went from Stanford to Cal somehow. Now, he's available again. And Cadarius Callaway is also available. Now, between Callaway, Ott and Byron Cardwell, like, that was, you know, among three of the leading rushers on the Golden Bears this past season.

Starting point is 00:27:29 Which remember, they also, you know, lost their star quarterback Fernando Mendoza to Indiana in the winter transfer portal. So the Cal Golden Bears are a lot different this coming season, Kenton. And like, what kind of Matt, like, do they hate their running backs, coach? Like, how do you lose four running backs in one day? There are times where, you know, like we talked about earlier in this episode, there are times where the numbers game gets you. There are times where health gets you.

Starting point is 00:27:54 There are times where these different things get you. I don't understand how you see four guys transfer out of a room in the same. the same time at the time that's the least ideal to transfer again we have talked about this time and time again you are fresh out of spring ball and for the people who are like oh spring doesn't really matter that much it's only fall camp thematic what do you think sets your depth chart going in the fall camp to start of curiosity just for kicks and giggles i can tell you as a guy that's been through it nine times out of ten that depth chart is set by what happened in the spring and then guys are battling either uphill battles or they it's their spot to lose because

Starting point is 00:28:39 of what they did so to see all these guys saying hey i've got to get out of here i've got to go somewhere else all at once i mean it's this is kind of unheard of because running back is one of those positions multiple guys can play multiple guys you can have a situation where you have multiple star backs i mean and and this is even during the bell cow era of what, 20 some odd years ago, you had Reggie Bush and Lindell White doing it together. And you see now

Starting point is 00:29:10 more than ever, every school has two or three running backs. If you don't have at least two, you're in an extremely compromising situation. So I'm genuinely shocked as to four running backs all getting into the portal at once. Somebody check on our good friend Lawrence Ross.

Starting point is 00:29:26 Somebody check on him. I know he's not doing well, but we go have him on soon again and talk about this. We should invite him back on, but when he sees Kent and Gibbs or Alex Dono on the caller ID, he's going to slam the phone. He's like, no, not now. I'm not talking to these guys now. Yeah, he's got his whiskey and the sad music play. He's got Harold Melvin in the blue notes.

Starting point is 00:29:48 I miss you going on watching some J-9 highlights. Hey, don't worry about it. I will say this. This is the most active I've seen the Springport will be ever in terms of guys who may not be starting. Maybe starters, the fridge level or better guys. I've never seen it this act. They're going to have to, whoever wears the Oski suit, you know, they're very scary looking bear that they're Matt, they're just going to take off the suit and suit up

Starting point is 00:30:15 and go play running back for them. I think, unless he transferred already and I miss, I think Jvion Thomas is still there. Jayvon's still there. He's still there.
