In today’s Fact or Fiction — transfer portal edition — I look at three big recent topics from the transfer portal and decide whether the statement is indeed FACT or if it’s FICTION.
1. Kenny Dillingham was made for the transfer portal.
Farrell’s take: FACT
The man is bright, young, and active and he did a great job last year at Oregon in the portal led by QB Bo Nix. And he’s clearly ready for this despite the transition to head coach at Arizona State as we can see by three quick commitments. While BYU QB Jacob Conover, RB DeCarlos Brooks, and LS Slater Zellers, might not be world beaters, the early commitments show how prepared he is while assembling a staff. And the number of early offers out there in the portal is impressive as well.
2. Tony Grimes will be one of the most sought-after prospects in the portal.
Farrell’s take: FACT
I don’t have enough space to list all the schools interested in the former 5-star CB but these are the ones he’s taking to the most — UGA, Virginia Tech, Michigan, Tennessee, USC, South Carolina, Colorado, Oregon, Texas A&M, and Penn State. It’s clear he will have his pick of Power Five schools and maybe they’ll allow him to play some press coverage which is a skill set that wasn’t utilized at UNC.
3. Justin Flowe ends up at USC.
Farrell’s take: FICTION
While heading back home and being closer to family is tempting, his relationship with Mario Cristobal will likely land him in Miami. He committed to Cristobal at Oregon over Clemson and USC and the Trojans had a strong pull with family but in the end, he chose the school he felt would be the best fit. He will do that again.
