Love it, thanks for the update!!

It's not just you, I'd pass here too

Yaak yaak - seems unlikely but ya never know

On IG he goes by Zay but Ex works too!! Love this pick-up - favorite one so far, no time on task but was heavily recruited in HS makes me think he has intangibles like SY

Nice pickup by Balls there.

One mans treasure.. oh wait, it's the other way around 🥱🥱

I wouldn't mind a few of these guys - but at some point, we need to land proven high-end portal talent or legitimate P4 bouncE backs—not just under the radar guys. That’s how you show the roster has a higher ceiling rather than simply filling holes. Right now, we don’t really have anyone to build around, and a roster made up mostly of depth pieces and stopgaps isn’t going to win the MAC or ultimately a tourney game. A class built mostly on names like these feels low-energy, and it’s hard to generate much hype around it, even if some do pan out. I think Ford can do better.

Sharron had intangibles that no one else had and that's unmeasurable IMO. And he was behind TJ so that's why the stats aren't there.

I wouldn't say I'm disappointed. Moreso punching below our weight if this is TJ and Sharron's replacement, we'll see.

He started 98 of 99 total games played at the lower level- my guess, he's expecting to start..

Is he PG1? If so, I'm not impressed but I'm just one guy. Wish him nothing but the best regardless

Canisus, Canisus, Cleveland State, UIW🥱

GOOD DEVELOPMENT!! I actually wanted to get a look at the QB - hopefully someone here can go and report back.

Exactly correct - based on my understanding, they did away with the spring portal this year.

Sad state of affairs

Probably not the greatest fit (third school in three years and probably a high asking price) but another 330 kid.

I ordered one for me and my wife mostly to support the collective—not so much because I’m crazy about the design. I did the same thing with the hat too, even though I don’t really wear hats. It does look pretty nice next to my 'Zippers in Seattle' hat from last year though.

I do see where you're coming from, believe me. My thing is players like Cheese, LCJ, X, wouldn't want to play under a first year HC that's why retention was crucial if we went the Ford route. Regardless of 18 years as a top assistant, I still think there's a pretty steep learning curve to becoming a D1 college HC.

He lost the players that really mattered. I'd rather lose the other 9 if it means keeping, Eric, Sharron and Bowen - then just plug the holes with Juniors and Seniors like we did the past two seasons. Sorry but that's just how I feel. A team centered around Halligan, Oggie, Barre, MMK doesn't finish much higher than a directional. Pretty rocky start IMHO, I still don't think anyone announced retuning yet. Edit: I don't really know the Freshmen, this is based off returning production

There's our fundamental point of disagreement. *^

It’s easy to play Monday morning quarterback when we don’t know who actually expressed interest or what they brought to the table. I’m also not convinced those players would have left under Groce—there’s really no way to know. In my opinion, retention was Ford’s biggest selling point, especially given that he has no experience as a college head coach. But just like we can’t say whether players would have stayed for Groce, we also can’t assume they would’ve been retained under a more experienced head coach with some national success maybe just slightly more likely.

Glad we got all the “what are they saying” graphics about Dustin out of the way—BC player retention tells a different story: now 0/3, and arguably those were the three worth keeping. So glad UA rushed him in!!
