After landing 21 players and Conference USA’s top-rated recruiting class during December’s early signing period, the Panthers have their sights squarely on February 1st’s National Signing Day.
With just over three weeks until NSD, Mike MacIntyre has been open about using the upcoming period to scour the transfer portal market for depth — or players who can compete for starting roles immediately.
“We’ll have an opportunity to look at the portal and the way we do the portal is we search kids from the state of Florida, South Florida, Tampa, Orlando and Miami first and then work our way up, because we want the kids to have a connection to here and want to be here,” said MacIntyre.
