LSUDad Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Transfer Portal: Tracking players exploring transfer options By CHRIS HUMMERFri Feb 22 2019 Share 55 Comments College football's offseason is now dominated by transfers and the NCAA's transfer portal. Starting Oct. 15, 2018 student athletes were allowed to enter their names into a transfer portal, which allows schools to initiate contact with them. While a player entering their name in the transfer portal does not mean a player intends to transfer, the portal's presence has given athletes options they didn't have before. Athletes can pursue and talk to other schools without restriction, all the while remaining enrolled at their present school. There are risks. Players who enter their names could potentially lose their scholarship's at semester's end, and a program is under no obligation to keep player on the roster that explores transfer options. Additionally, any non-graduate who opts to transfer must still sit out a season due to NCAA transfer rules unless granted a waiver. For a full explanation of what the transfer portal is and how it works (I promise nobody is actually transported to a different dimension) check out this in-depth explanation. It's a weird time as players, coaches and administrators alike feel out the system. To help readers keep track of everything happening, this is a running list of every Power Five player who's placed their name in the transfer portal along with where they eventually land.

LSUDad Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Another into the Portal... LSU outside linebacker and tight end Dantrieze Scott has entered the NCAA transfer portal BY BROOKS KUBENA | BKUBENA@THEADVOCATE.COM MAR 11, 2019 - 10:56 AM LSU outside linebacker/tight end Dantrieze Scott PROVIDED PHOTOS BY LSU SPORTS Facebook Twitter SMS Email Save Brooks Kubena A third LSU scholarship player has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Freshman outside linebacker Dantrieze Scott entered the portal, a source told The Advocate Monday. The Ferriday High graduate joins defensive tackles Davin Cotton and Dominic Livingston in the portal. Players can enter the portal by notifying their athletic department, and the school's compliance department will enter the player's name into the database within two business days. Players still have the option to remove their names. The 6-foot-5, 229-pound Scott did not play in 2018, although he practiced at outside linebacker and tight end. Scott is the third defender inside the portal. True freshman Dominic Livingston said that "family issues" led to him entering the NCAA transfer portal last month. Livingston did not say which school he was transferring to but said he would like to move home to Texas. The transfer portal became an option in October, giving Division I athletes the ability to transfer to a different school and receive a scholarship without asking their original school for permission. In the previous model, athletes had to receive permission from their school to transfer to other schools, which allowed schools to "block" their athletes from transferring to other programs within their conferences or that were on their schedules in future seasons.

houtiger Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I'm not sure the exact number but I think LSU needed 5 or 6 players to leave to get to 85 scholly's. Because of the quality of the 2 we signed last year, and nobody graduated, WR was a position that it does not surprise me to see somebody go. Plus Devonte Lee is coming in.

LSUDad Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Mannie Netherly enters the Transfer Portal By SHEA DIXON13 hrs Share 58 Comments (Photo: Billy Embody, 247Sports) Another LSU football player has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, sources confirmed with the Geaux247 staff. LSU junior cornerback Mannie Netherlyhas entered his name into the portal after the first week of spring practices in Baton Rouge. Netherly signed with the Tigers in the 2017 class, leaving high school as a four-star on the 247Sports Composite and a three-star on 247Sports. As a football and track standout at Crosby High (Texas), Netherly was ranked by the Composite as the No. 36 wide receiver in the country. But after his arrival at LSU, Netherly made the move to cornerback, where he appeared in a pair of games last season. While the Tigers had plenty of depth to start the year, they ran low on bodies as the season wrapped up, and Netherly jumped into action with three tackles in the Fiesta Bowl win over UCF. Netherly was working with a shallow cornerback group to begin spring practice, with the lone scholarship bodies at the spot being Netherly, Kelvin Josephand early-enrollee Derek Stingley. Jontre Kirklin moved back to wide receiver, and Kary Vincent has spent time working with the safeties. With Kristian Fulton, a returning starter, out for spring ball, Netherly’s absence will be something no monitor as Joseph and Stingley get even more first-team reps. The Tigers will welcome four cornerbacks to campus in June, with Jay Ward, Raydarious Jones, Cordale Flott and Maurice Hampton all set to join the team after signing as part of the 2019 class. Netherly’s decision to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal comes one day after LSU tight end/outside linebacker Dantrieze Scott entered the portal. They joined defensive linemen Dominic Livingstonand Davin Cotton as the four LSU scholarship players now in the portal. While the aforementioned have entered their name into the portal, it doesn’t mean they have to transfer out of LSU. Scott’s entrance into the portal included a “do not contact” tag, while Livingston, Scott and Netherly are all allowed contact from other schools.

LSUDad Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Zach Sheffer enters NCAA transfer portal ByBILLY EMBODY 5 hours ago LSU tight end Zach Sheffer has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, sources confirmed to Geaux247. The redshirt freshman did not see action this fall for LSU. The move to enter the portal leaves LSU at the 85-man roster limit for scholarship players, if all the players in the portal don't return to Baton Rouge. The players that have entered the portal are athlete Dantrieze Scott, cornerback Mannie Netherly and defensive linemen Davin Cotton and Dominic Livingston. LSU added tight ends in TK McClendon and Ray Parker, an offensive lineman who could play tight end, in the 2019 recruiting class. McClendon is on campus already competing with the likes of Aaron Moffitt, Jamal Pettigrew, Tory Carter and Thad Moss at the position. One thing Sheffer always enjoyed in recruiting process was the opportunity to play in Tiger Stadium, which he said was impressive after he caught LSU knock off No. 10 Auburn during the 2017 season on his official visit. "Tiger Stadium is a special place, it was rocking," Sheffer said at the time. "The atmosphere is incredible. You could see the confidence in the coaching staff and players during the game. They never blinked." Coming out of high school, the 6-3, 223-pound tight end picked LSU over offers from Ohio State, Michigan, Auburn and plenty of others. The industry-generated 247Sports Composite ranked Scheffer as the nation's No. 632 overall prospect, No. 28 tight end nationally and the No. 98 overall prospect in Florida in the 2018 recruiting class. At Nease High School, Sheffer finished his senior season with 45 receptions for 607 yards and five touchdowns before being named to his high school area's All-District Team. Sheffer enrolled at LSU early after his senior season. LSU is much further along than it has been in past years, head coach Ed Orgeron said he attributes that to the work the coaching staff has done leading up to spring practice, which began a week ago. "We're much further ahead than we've ever been. Give the credit to our coaches," Orgeron told reporters after the first practice. "The endless hours of preparation that they have done starting when we got back in January. We had a dinner last night honoring our guys' 4th Quarter (program). Tommy Moffitt and his staff have done a tremendous job getting our guys bigger, stronger and faster. They're prepared. We've done a lot of football school work and we hit the ground running today." Stick with Geaux247 as we continue to monitor LSU players in the transfer portal and if they might have a change of heart or head elsewhere.

LSUDad Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Report: LSU running back Tae Provens has entered the NCAA transfer portal LSU quarterback Andre Sale (13) hands the ball off to LSU running back Tae Provens (25) in a drill during spring practice, Thursday, March 14, 2019, at LSU's indoor practice facility in Baton Rouge, La. Advocate staff photo by HILARY SCHEINUK▲ BY BROOKS KUBENA | bkubena@theadvocate.com Mar 21, 2019 - 2:45 pm The first scholarship running back and sixth LSU scholarship player has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Freshman running back Tae Provens entered the portal, according to 247Sports. Provens is the fourth player to enter the portal this month, joining junior cornerback Mannie Netherly and outside linebacker Dantrieze Scott. The running back room was set to be pretty crowded in 2019, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire returning, plus sophomore Chris Curry. Two top 10 recruits were also set to join the roster in Destrehan's John Emery (Nation's No. 2 RB, per 247Sports) and Southern Lab's Tyrion Davis-Price (Nation's No. 14 RB). Provens, a three-star athlete from Gurley, Alabama, played in two games as a true freshman in 2018, which set him under the NCAA limit that allowed him to redshirt that season. His four carries for 13 yards came against Rice. Players can enter the portal by notifying their athletic department, and the school's compliance department will enter the player's name into the database within two business days. Players still have the option to remove their names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Mannie Netherly returns to practice, removes name from portal by Billy Embody 3 hours ago On the same day as running back Tae Provens entering his name into the NCAA transfer portal, LSU got welcomed news with defensive back Mannie Netherly taking his name out of the portal and returning to practice, Ed Orgeron said on Thursday. The former Crosby (Tex.) standout quarterback put his name into the portal on March 12, wanting to play offense, but will return to the defensive side of the ball. Orgeron said he wished the transfer portal didn't exist, saying it was too easy for players to just walk out the door of a program that they committed to playing at. Orgeron meets with players about their futures and does let them know they can return while also noting that LSU needs to get down to the 85-man scholarship limit. "I talk to them, they come to me and they tell me why. I tell them, listen, we'd like you to stay," Orgeron said Thursday night. "If you change your mind, come back. We had to get down eight and we think it's going to work out. Those guys that leave, I hope they have success. I think every situation is different. I think they're making it too easy for players to leave. They should stay and fight it out." After his arrival at LSU, Netherly made the move from wide receiver to cornerback, where he appeared in a pair of games last season. While theTigers had plenty of depth to start the year, they ran low on bodies as the season wrapped up, and Netherly jumped into action with three tackles in the Fiesta Bowl win over UCF. Netherly is back working with a shallow cornerback group in spring practice, with the lone scholarship bodies at the spot being Netherly, Kelvin Joseph and early-enrollee Derek Stingley. Jontre Kirklin moved back to wide receiver, andKary Vincent has spent time working with the safeties, especially at nickelback. With Kristian Fulton, a returning starter, out for spring ball, Netherly’s absence will be something no monitor as Joseph and Stingley get even more first-team reps. Standing in the way of playing time for Netherly is Stingley, who is certainly expected to have a big say in starting Game 1 for the Tigers. The Dunham School standout shined right off the bat in Saturday's scrimmage. "Phenomenal player. Really really good player. He's a talented young man, a great young man," Orgeron explained. "First play from line of scrimmage, we went after him with a fade ball and he intercepted it. He has a knack for the football. He's a very good young man." The Tigers will welcome four cornerbacks to campus in June, with Jay Ward, Raydarious Jones, Cordale Flottand Maurice Hampton all set to join the team after signing as part of the 2019 class. Netherly signed with the Tigers in the 2017 class, leaving high school as a four-star on the 247Sports Composite and a three-star on 247Sports. As a football and track standout, Netherly was ranked by the Composite as the No. 36 wide receiver in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I am glad to see Netherly come back. Of all who entered the portal, I think Netherly has the best shot to help the team. I watched him in the bowl game and I thought he played well. They caught a TD on him, but his coverage was good on the play, and the QB threw a perfect pass to a spot only the receiver could get to in the end zone. It was a great offensive play for them, and a very good defensive play for us, and Manny got beat by a little. I doubt he beats out Stingley, but he can get quality playing time if he beats the 4 freshmen arriving in June, which I think he has a chance to do. From the outside, it sounds like O handles his players well, honest about their prospects and wants to find the best career outcome for them. If true, that has to be good for the team morale, to think the coach has the players interests at heart. The NCAA has made the rules so that some players will probably HAVE to leave each year, allowing you to sign 25 per year, but only have 85 on scholarship at a time.
