I was looking at the transfer portal this morning before the Holday activities start, and I noticed the following. I know that everything is not up to date, but 247 does a pretty good job keeping up to date. Transfers to Akron, (hopefully both decent pickups these are positions of need for next year) -Cole Gest -Zach Leininger Akron transfers to other schools -Keyondre White to Hampton -Brandon Council to Auburn (this is a big loss) -Keyshawn Swanson to Troy, (looks like a good move for him) -Nick Demchuk to Gannon Transfer to return to Akron -Andre Williams (I would never allow this return, this may be a bad move) Those who have not found a new school -Alex Ramhart (I think he found a small school) -Devanier Floyd -Malik Woodridge -Deandre Brimage -Tyson Mcdonald -Zaire Jacobs -Keyshod Mack -Jerome Cooper -JJ Mack This shows the talent level of the Bowden recruits that these players cannot get another division 1 scholarship. I said this before, but in reality, I am hoping that another 10 or more Bowden recruits who do not have Division 1 talent get in the portal. For one thing, they could play at a lower level and I hope they move in that direction Also, this could be a significant cost savings to the University. I believe that the talent that Arth has recruited over the last 2 years is far significant to that of Bowden. I do not know if this will translate into wins in 2020 because the upper class talent is so bare, but the future is being set. Now, one person who can change this is Kato Nelson. Several years back, we all wanted to have Bowden burn his redshirt when the starting QB was hurt, since we thought we had a chance with him. The last couple of years have been disappointing. I hope he has a monster senior year for the Zips. More to come in the future.

If there an FBS program that set out to "save money" in their hiring of a coach and proceeded to have success with that coach? None come to my mind.

Still pending in the Court of Claims. Groce was dismissed as a party a while back. Recently, the magistrate recommended dismissing the discrimination and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims, leaving only the negligence claim. It's not scheduled for trial until June of 2021.

Do they ever like anything? They are routinely negative.
