How mNy we're on the two deep or expected to be there next year?
It is importsnt to keep OL, they never (rarely) contribute in years 1-2.
Zero. But to release true freshman after only one semester is cold. NFL like attrition has come to college football. More than ever it’s a business
College sports always take kids in and spit kids out.
Al should pay for construction of a miniature Fieldhouse and make recruiting videos with it, since we’ve seen his unrivaled video making talents.
You beat me to it. Surely they left because of the lack of a world-class field house. That’s what they’re saying at Subway anyway.
Actually, I thought Spinal Tap’s Stonehenge was perfect. Otherwise, I support this idea. Make it so, Al.
We had 24 OL on th roster this yewr and bring most back. We also are bringing in a ton of OL.
Sure, But Never this fast, as far as I can remember. Now, Kids either have to produce or show enough potential to produce, right away. If not, out to the waiver wire. (Transfer Portal). This is going to take some getting used to.
They brought it on themselves, didn't they by clamoring for NIL. Now the pool will get smaller for HS kids if JUCO years don't count against eligibility.
In a podcast, thought Jaelyne Matthews said that he thought he could start his freshman year. 6'7" 337 lbs. Possible?
Sounds reasonable to me. If we’re at the point of everybody wanting to be paid, they better be showing potential to produce.
Exactly.
do we really have 24 OL on the roster???? Also shows 20 DL 7 TEs 25 DBs 15 LB 3 LS 4 PK 5 QB 9 RB 14 WR 1 P 3 PK
That’s going to have to be trimmed down to 105 for next year. That’s another thing to take into account in this transition year when you see rosters trim down.
And Bethea? IIRC he was considered a very good signing out of HS. Haven’t heard his name much since.
Currently, 22 on the roster, including Seniors: Salami, Pierce, Sutton, Felter, Rhodes, Gbagbe-Sowah, Zilinskas, Needham
I'm pretty sure these guys were all passed on the depth chart and were very unlikely to ever see the field.
My kids got a LOT of Legos from Santa....
Stop
Agreed. Better to have players move on early versus late. Need room for portal transfers.
You know this exactly how ? You have no clue who the 2 deep are for next season. Especially on the DL where we will have many holes to fill. The departures of DT Peterson and Bethea ( highly recruited) and the Luman brothers on the DL are concerning.
Been watching this kid for 4 years. He's a monster, but that would be an enormous step up in competition and so I would say highly unlikely.
It has to have. No room for dead weight on the roster anymore. Can’t wait for 3-4 years to develop when you can bring in a 3rd year with 1-2 years experience.
Zilinkas has played for 4 years so he is unfortunately gone. Needham has another year.. like Felter. So that is good.
They ain't getting any NIL if they are dropping down.
Most of these kids, if not all will not be going to P4 schools. That's not attrition, rather thinning out the herd.
