Transfer Portal

College football transfer rules now include:
a single, 15-day winter transfer window (Jan. 2-16 for 2026), replacing the previous two windows, but athletes in a postseason game played after Jan. 12 get a five-day grace period after their final game.

Keeping our fingers crossed that all eligible players decide to return to UR.

We can’t take anything for granted as I believe we did last season.Building and maintaining a winning roster is a year around biz.

I am concerned with why 10 starters entered it last year and that same reason is
still with us this year.

I would say that any coach in any sport that is able to retain all eligible players from one year to the next is a damn wizard, given the current state of college athletics. Unfortunately, Huesman doesn't strike me as wizardly.

Start at 1:30

Huesman is not terribly inspirational regarding the issue.

Comes across like he doesn’t care whether a player stays or leaves.Very puzzling.How you are perceived by 18-22 yo kids can be a big deal.With this attitude don’t be surprised if we have some remaining eligible starters hit the road.

I thought it was a little cavalier also...Coach Huesman went on the say that he'll only be signing 14 high school recruits this year as opposed to the normal 18 or 19...I took this to mean we might try to be more active in the upcoming Transfer Portal...it will be interesting to see how many of the players listed as seniors on the roster, but have a year of eligibility opt to return...I believe it was 14 players with this decision in front of them...

Go Spiders!

The criticism directed at Huesman seems accurate. It's not good for the program.
