Looks like Ryan Matviko is the new QBs coach. I believe he was an offensive analyst last season.

Which part are you referring to?

DE Antonio Smith in the portal.

Roster management has to be a headache. As for these 3, they all saw their snaps significantly decrease this past year, so I can’t say it’s a surprise. Probably for the best. That leaves Lyons as the only OL holdover from the previous staff.

OL Kilbane, Georges, and Robarge officially listed in the portal.

I think the writer is ignorant in that he doesn’t know Moorhead’s current situation. I’ve lost count how many writers have attached Moorhead’s job to OC vacancies already. This just seems like another example. If things don’t work out here, Moorhead will probably look to take an OC job somewhere. I suspect he’ll eventually angle to take another P5 head coaching gig if he can turn this thing around.

They’re purely speculation by the writers of the articles. Clicks are a big ordeal for online media these days. As @Captain Kangaroo stated, Moorhead isn’t going anywhere this year.

I’m not sure. Maybe? Smith is originally from Texas. Might just be a case of taking a shot at a good player and see what happens.

Brookhart gets an offer out to JUCO WR who looked like a man among boys at the JUCO level. We’re well behind the eight ball on this one though and probably no chance to land him unless an OV happens.

JUCO OL that played mostly LT this season. Plays with a nasty streak.

Yep. I just assumed the other two would be given to the starting K and LS. If not, then it’s 77 like you said.

Looks like Pete Lembo is headed to Buffalo. He’s a phenomenal special teams coach and has a ton of ties to the northeast that will help in recruiting.

💯 That would be huge.

I have us at 79 scholarships right now. Is that what you have @LZIp?

Players no longer listed on 2024 roster: RB CJ Price OL Tony Georges OL Alex Robarge DE Antonio Smith LB Andrew Behm S MyJaden Horton Walk on WR Jax Smith is still listed even though he transferred to Southwestern Oklahoma State. DT Terray Jones is still listed, but I’m pretty sure he’s out of eligibility. Im certain most of the 2023 HS class that did not play and are listed as Sophomores are actually redshirt freshmen. Im going to remove the above players from the position previews and will add back if it turns out they are still on the team. Edit: Forgot to add if the above is true, that leaves only 10 players remaining from the Arth years.

A 2024 HS offer amongst the portal madness. 3 star DL that was committed to Syracuse.

Interesting move. South Alabama’s HC is also going to Alabama, but as their DC. They definitely have some intriguing young players I’d be interested in. Tyler Doty was an All-MAC OL who I believe has one more year.

JUCO DL. Buffalo already had him in for a visit, so we are behind the 8 ball here.

That answer our question about Chambers. Still a few more OL to go…

An FCS coach openly did something very similar to this on Twitter and was shunned by the coaching community as well as the fanbase. He ended up posting an apology. In reality, I think you’re on to something and it’s a matter of time before we see this type of recruiting pitch universally accepted. Assuming the portal and NIL continue down the path we’re currently on.

I thought he had another year if he wanted it, but I also assumed he was going pro after the season. Enjoyed watching him improve over the past two seasons. He came a long way from his first game.

Grad transfer IOL from Campbell.

Yeah, the writing was on the wall as far as PT goes here. He’s probably being brought in as the backup to Phommachanh. Not sure how long that will last though. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Haston leapfrog to the #2 spot by the time spring wraps up. They also have a talented freshman coming in (Hairston).

I haven’t looked to see who else has some of the same connections outside of Gilbertson, but we are suddenly crossing paths with Nevada in recruiting. Similar to Jerry Kill’s first year at New Mexico State.
