I saw that and thought the same thing. A guy like Henry is exactly where he should've been and should have stayed. Not trying to be ugly but his ceiling was pretty much right where he was. A rotational back at HSU or starter if he put in the time and work. He did all the work and would have likely been the guy there and now portals after a decent backup season...
Lots of bad decisions being made in this portal era...
He is certainly 1000yd rusher at HSU as the full time runner. IMO could end up a better overall back than Garcia. He had 600 yards as the backup two years in a row. Has to be incredibly disappointing and frustrating for HSU to be losing him. Unlikey, but players can withdraw from the portal and stay.

Only 9 of the 29 have offers. 7 of the offers are D3, 3 are NAIA, 2 are FCS, and 1 is for a community college.
Yup. Some of the guys I'm not mad at. The JV guys that saw the writing on the wall and just want to play somewhere, no problem. Then you have a guy like D Morris who likely lands on a good FCS or a low end FBS roster, I still don't like it but it's somewhat understandable. JJ Davis probably lands on a mid to low end FCS... I kind of get it but still think it's a mistake. Then you have guys like Battle III that had no business transferring out. Could have stayed and been a damn good corner on a really good defense but instead he jumped on the portal wagon after D Mo and JJ did and he's got no offers. Not saying he's not good enough to get offers but he doesn't have the same body of work yet as Morris or Davis did.. reminds me a lot of Dorien Hill playing 4 games last year in the playoffs and hitting the portal. He showed a ton of promise and might've been our best LB if he had returned this season but instead he hit the portal and got East Central and Trinity and went to Trinity.. that's basically Battle this year... maybe he will come back.
On the positive side of things it looks like we've kept everyone else so far. If that's all we lose we return a way more cohesive group than we have in a few years and will just need to find a few secondary guys to step up.
You got BJ Stewart, we got Dorien Hill. Both fine athletes who found better fits.
Well I can't speak for everyone but I hope Dorien has a great game this weekend.

ASC recruits two-three schools to join the conference in the off-season
Wayland Baptist
Louisiana Christian
Sul Ross State
Nelson University
Centenary
I don't think Louisiana Christian will come back. They just won 1/3 of the conference championship over in the sooner athletic conference.
Holy cow, just looked at Sul Ross's football record... 0-11, only two close games, 3 point loss to a 2-9 team and a 6 point loss to a 3-8 team. Outside of those two losses, average margin of victory was 58 2/3 points... 48.8 points total. Outscored 129 to 666 :O...
What did LC win besides football? No matter what, yeah I can't see them coming back considering they did share the title in the SAC but still got crushed by HSU.
As for Sul Ross, I would assume playing at UTRGV and at SFA paid for the rest of the season so while it was a hard season, it is the life of a low tier D2 team.

Quote from: CruFrenzy on November 19, 2025, 07:38:31 PMOnly key portal departures so far have been on defense, all in the secondary.
JJ Davis, Battle III and D Morris.
Not great but if we can keep everyone else we have shown a good track record of whipping athletes into shape on that side of the ball. As long as we don't lose any more key guys or defensive lineman (much harder to find elite DLINE guys). Also offense is still in tact so far... need everyone back there.
Quote from: HSUCowboy2015 on November 19, 2025, 09:20:09 AMIs it just me or has UMHB just had a mass flood of "portal" entries every year right after the season ends in the Harmon era? I know HSU goes through it to, just seems like it's much more broadcasted and on a larger scale than normal?
Not trying to take shots, just curious to see what the Crusader fans opinions are on it.
Quote from: Ralph Turner on November 19, 2025, 10:23:39 AMIt seems to me that the UMHB problem is that they have bunch of talented kids who believe that their talents warrant a starting or very prominent role at UMHB and that is not being fulfilled by the system in place at UMHB. Their short term options, after all they are using years of eligibility, are to assess the immediate gain in the 2026 season at UMHB or look to another school. That school could be a D2, or another D3 with a glaring need.
Back in the day, circa Meat on the Hoof, they would just quit, realizing that their talent had exhausted the capacity to provide playing time, either at a UMHB or at D2 Elsewhere State, or a scholarship UT Longhorn team giving 70 scholarships per year to suck up the talent from the TCU's SMU's, Rice's, Tech's and A&M's of the world, and thus D1 scholarship limits. In the Meat on the Hoof scenario, they would burn themselves out on Darrell Royal's practice field and never see a collegiate down of football they would have played at another SWC school.
I believe we are seeing a variation of this with the portal.
