Bummer. Totally misinterpreted his tweet I posted.

Sweet catch by WKU transfer Dakota Thomas here.

I hope so. Slowly bleeding talent like Holt, Banes, and Clark hurts though. Hopefully we can find replacements or young guys are ready to step up...

Valid points imo.

For real. Give us some interviews at least. Still pictures of players whose jersey numbers you can't even see does nothing to drum up excitement and interest.

Can't wait til you give us some good news, lol!

Has to be a walk on.

Damn

Maybe we get both!

Well, Enrique is now a bit of a question mark.

I think Owen Murphy was actually pretty solid, he was just injured all of last year, and I believe he was an OT. Not sure if we could supplant either Landers or Williams. As for the others, we've seen them play. Some of the offers they are reporting make zero logical sense. So either walk ons, or there is a serious premium in the TP for ready to play OL.

Don’t like any talk of Groce leaving, for whatever reason. After the next season might look like a “rebuild” and it might not. Nobody knows the type of leap Tavari will make, Baker is pretty highly touted. Dawson would technically have another year of eligibility with a medical redshirt. Not to mention the ability to reload with the transfer portal. positivity guys!

Banes just officially posted he's transferring on twitter. Seems like he's just looking to get closer to family. Unfortunate, but not much anybody in Akron OH could've done about that.

Looks like we might have a replacement for Wiley. Former 4 star at VT I believe with 2 years of eligibility. Seems like he started most of last season?

If he ponders another transfer, I'd imagine it would be to Cal over Akron.

Nice to see Walker mentioned. He’s small (so was Jojo Natson), but I loved his HS tape.

Love the username

He came on along more towards the end of the season IIRC. A couple hundred yard + games without checking the stats. But if there's a position we could afford to lose a contributor, its probably running back. Not to mention due to the timing, there's a decent chance he's leaving due to him having an idea in what his playing time is going to look like, and that reason is hopefully Lorenzo Lingard.

Hope we get the interviews and highlights throughout spring ball.

Wiley in the TP

So what type of player makes the most sense to fill the last scholarship on? Right now I'm leaning a freshman Aziz-type prospect to red-shirt. Only so many players can play. I'm not opposed to bringing an experienced big, but I would think an experienced big would want to play starter minutes and that won't happen next year. Additionally, bringing one in probably means Lyles transfers.

Tapping the NIU well again.

I believe Coach Rodriguez would have coached him at FIU. Hopefully we have the inside track there, though I think IOL is a bigger need than tackle at this point.
