2022 Transfer Portal

My frustration is that the staff felt it necessary to recruit a Punter last year when there was already a decent one on the roster with multiple years of eligibility left.
Have to wonder if Miller was told to go with his injury history. This, of course, will guarantee he is going to be healthy all year for whomever he signs with.
Feel for the kid but was definitely time to move on, no matter what he does next year
Even with his injury history, if they told him to leave after losing 3 out of 4 starters in the defensive backfield… This staff is ever more stupid than I already thought. And I think VERY lowly of this staff.
they better have someone ready to take in the portal otherwise they are just bleeding DB’s
Especially with the guys who have been here 4 or 5 years, they need to be very judicious with those roster spots (and yes, some of that is Covid, but some of it also is roster mismanagement by signing big classes)
World class visionary leadership- driving off a punter who was one of the few bright spots last year so that the unproven freshman punter can take over. This rectifies the issue of carrying two punters on scholarship, a self-inflicted room created by the coaches.
At least with Miller, he is going to the grad route to get his masters paid for.
Fair. There is risk. And I think this would be a tougher decision if Watts was Barry Helton. Watts is good but not an All American.
I like Miller. He seemed to work hard and had big potential. Just couldn't stay healthy. I don't think he's someone you could depend on to contribute a full season.
Makes no sense the number of kickers we have in scholarships. Watts was much better this year. He was horrible year 1. This is an opportunity to fill these spots with transfers who are immediate contributors. Also I think a sign that we are limited in space at the 85 cap. We've only just reached the 1 transfer out = 1 spot available.

Eligibility. Recruit over Logan if he doesn’t perform.I think most HCs would have made this choice. Easily. JMO.
Eh, Miller needed to move on. He hasn't been a factor during his time at CU using a scholarship on a guy who has never stayed healthy would have been poor management.
Or Todd Helton
Any other year I would think this is good attrition. I’m just not confident they will be able to replace now 4 DB’s when they have only landed one good transfer in Sneed
Miller needs to go play at a lower level where the hits and risks are a bit lower. Smallish corners and DB’s are injury prone. I hope for a great future for Miller!
You and I have very different definitions of “makes sense”
Or Clay Helton
fixed
Watts came in with 2 (or 3) to play 2, he gets the extra Covid year. CU already has a 5* punter that they convinced to gray shirt in order to not have 2 punters on scholarship for 2021.
I don't disagree with recruiting over current players, obviously. Though, I might point out that our recent history with 5* recruits does not really bode well for the idea of getting rid of a very solid and experienced punter with a good leg who was the only way we were changing field position most of last year.
But hey, the current "plan" seems to be to getting rid of the few good players we had to replace them with true freshman we hope will become great (someday). Watts fits right into that approach.
Well, I wish good luck to all the guys who are departing. I have no sour grapes. I am kind of surprised by Miller and Watts. I would have thought Miller would have seen the field quite a bit given the losses in the defensive backfield.

Honestly the best move for him, go be apart of USCs tradition and hopefully light it up then go to the NFL. No reason for him to waste his talent with KD
and this is the worst possible strategy for a head coach that needs to win now to retain his job. he must know this, and the transfer portal was the only hope of having any semblance of chance of winning now, so the conclusion has to be that we struck out on the vast majority of high quality transfers that we pursued (sneed the only exception).
