Portal guys, week 1
As always, folks, if I missed anyone, please let me know. I want to see our former lads succeed, and to get credit where credit is due.
Last year, there really wasn't much to write about the guys who had transferred out, other than Pat Coogan on the offensive side, and some of the linemen on the defensive side.
This year, it's significantly different. The guys who left are making far more of an impact in just the first official week.
The two QB's have started out with fine performances.
Cree Thomas is making quite an impact as a starter with Colorado. Christian Gray and Leonard Moore both were singing his praises last year, that he (Thomas, from Brophy College Prep) was resembling another guy that came from Brophy College Prep (Ben Morrison).
