…”My guess is...Paul knew he would be transferring before the Spring Game. More than likely...the coaching staff did too...and, tried to help him find a new home, by feeding the ball to him. Paul gave his opportunities everything he had, in that scrimmage. He was impressive. Maybe, if he had been doing that consistently...playing-time wouldn't be an issue with him, now.scrimmage.

I agree. I’ve heard some insiders talk about that the coaches not only know whose leaving. But who they are getting before the portal opens.
Dang. Was excited to get him back.
Yep…Lol....whatcha wanna bet…he winds up playing for Fran Brown [Syracuse], Del McGee [GAST], Sam Pittman [ARK]or Dan Lanning [ORE]. Just one more blossom on the "Kirby Tree". And, we all know…the bloom never falls far from the tree in calm weather.
He will not follow Pittman to Arkansas. He would have to sit out a year if he transfers to an SEC team during this portal window(different than earlier portal windows).
Being on a potential NC winning team and all that goes with the playoffs and such, his best bet for exposure would be to stay here and accept whatever carries he would get. WHo knows how many that would be, but it wouldn't be nothing. While I hope all the RB's remain healthy, we all know there's slim chance of that happening. That to say between blowout games where you take your starters out when the opposing team's defense is worn down and possible injuries, there's a very good chance he would of had several opportunities to showcase his talents.
Sorry to see him go. He's a bruiser.
Although we should have plenty of depth at RB, we may be thin at RB in the opener for the second straight year. No Etienne (likely suspension). No Branson (still rehabbing). And inexperienced freshmen, with the best of them not even here for spring practices. That basically leaves Rod and Cash against Clemson (plus the freshmen).
Seth Emerson suggests that Georgia State would be a likely place for him to land. They lost Marcus Carroll to Mizzou, and Dell McGee recruited Paul.
But it wouldn't be surprising to me if we faced him at Clemson, which was one of his finalists as a hs recruit. Will Shipley's going pro, which leaves Mafah as the only RB with experience at Clemson. Seems like he'd have a good chance to be the No. 2 guy there. And if things went well, he could be The Man in 2025.
So, someone downvotes me for saying he should stay here? --LOL!
Oregon is a great call.
LOL!!!!
I hope he changes his mind, I was looking forward to watching him run this coming season.
