·56 min·3 clips

Arrington Maiden, a Memphis transfer with three years left, has already committed to JMU.

1. JMU Sports News Podcast centers on the “Portal Haul” after JMU’s latest transfer-window activity. 2. Bennett Conlin hosts with Jack Fitzpatrick, and both are tracking JMU roster changes and the staff’s portal approach. 3. The episode asks what JMU is trying to build now that several starters and depth pieces have left. 4. Bennett says JMU’s portal class has not produced a single “whoa, baby” headline, but it has added steady depth. 5. The hosts say several defensive linemen have already joined and that a quarterback addition is part of the current wave. 6. They note that Michael McMullen, Brayden Wieslowski, and Amar Thomas have gone in and back out of the portal. 7. They also discuss departures to UCLA, including Landon Ellis and Daryl Dengoy, as examples of the roster churn. 8. Jack points out that Trent Wilson is headed to Iowa, while Tyler Brown is also visiting Iowa. 9. Bennett says Dippery going to Florida and Alonzo going to UCF are part of a broader Power-conference drain. 10. The biggest area of concern is offensive line, where Bennett says JMU still has not officially added anyone via the portal. 11. Bennett names Enoch Wangoy, a 6-foot-7, 333-pound lineman from Florida, as a major target. 12. He also names Tyler Brown, Mario Nash Jr., Daniel, Lucas Simmons, Frankie Tinelliu, Brody Bass, and Sean Shahoo as specific offensive line options. 13. Bennett says some of those linemen are huge but unproven, which makes size alone an incomplete evaluation. 14. The hosts argue that Billy Napier’s portal plan blends size, projection, and relationships with coaches who already know the players. 15. Bennett says JMU has also been active on lower-level players from Finley, Nichols, Northern Arizona, University of Indianapolis, ETSU, and West Florida. 16. On quarterback, the episode says JMU has offered Landon Clark, landed Arrington Maiden from Memphis, and hosted a Louisville backup on campus. 17. Bennett calls Maiden a player with “superstar potential” and notes that he has three years of eligibility left. 18. The conversation about recruiting is informal and detailed, with both hosts comparing offers, destinations, and likely roster fits in real time. 19. Fans who follow JMU recruiting, roster management, and the quarterback battle will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a polished game preview or a single finished answer may skip this one.
