BREAKING: 247Sports No. 1 CB in the transfer portal in former Clemson player Toriano Pride has committed to #Mizzou.

I see that the Toriano Pride transfer already shared. But here's a short article about it anyway.
After several weeks of rumors, the first news of Mizzou’s Football transfer portal season has dropped.
Toriano Pride, 247 Sports’ No. 1 transfer cornerback and the No. 12 player overall, is transferring to Mizzou after two seasons at Clemson.
In two seasons at Clemson, Pride played in 26 games, amassing 37 tackles, nine pass breakups a sack, an interception and a forced safety. He’ll come to Columbia looking for immediate playing time given the departure of Kris Abrams-Draine and (potentially) Ennis Rakestraw. [Reply]
He should probably go pro but it's still gonna be a bit of a bummer. 4 year starter who was a bright spot as a true frosh. A Tiger when it wasn't cool and a guy who's developed a lot here and been a leader almost the entire time.
Good player and great tiger who's stayed under the radar a bit. I hope the fans remember him - he's been about the only constant through the last several seasons. [Reply]
Georgia State transfer running back Marcus Carroll tells @On3sports he's committed to Mizzou.
A first-team All-Sun Belt selection, he ranked No. 6 in NCAA this year with 1,350 rushing yards on 274. Viewed as one of the top backs in the portal.https://t.co/MsbpGLv8Bvpic.twitter.com/6idJhpXSNA
I wouldn't be surprised if they snagged another RB from the portal as well. The frosh 5* didn't get much run so I figure they'll look to bring in two veteran backs to replace Peat and Schrader and try to work the freshman in a little more next season. [Reply]
I was having this convo with a friend tonight about starting a 5* QB year 1. Somehow Gabbert came up but can't remember wasn't he the day 1 started at Mizzou? [Reply]

No he was behind Chase Daniel during his freshman year. He'd got 1 series in a few games but that was it. [Reply]

If some of this stuff is even half true, it's unsavory as hell.
Just more of the stuff I've been bitching about - the unfettered free agency of every single player on every single team in college football every single offseason just doesn't feel tenable to me.
I don't know how this can possibly sustain. [Reply]
