Thus far we really miss a guy like Dawson. Not only for his skill, but some energy to give the team a spark.

Ugly start.

That makes sense and it may be right. I do know many of our new signees won't start until summer camp, so while signed, they technically shouldn't count against anything for spring ball. In my loose following of Ohio State, I occasionally see posts on twitter pop up about them "getting down" to 85 after a player enters the portal. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that you can have over 85 accounted for at any given point, as long as you get down to the number when required.

Yeah I expect from now until the summer we will add at least a handful of transfer portal players with maybe a couple additional high schools who may have slipped through the cracks. For that to happen though, we'll need more players to transfer out. @catdaddypdo you know when programs are technically required to be down to the 85 limit? Is it by the start of fall camp? If so, that gives us some flexibility.

I watched a little bit before going to bed. That WKU offense operates FAST. Faster than I recall Kent being under Lewis in 2020 and 2021.

Do you think it’s reasonable for him to gain that much weight going into his last year of eligibility ?

So far from our commits we know of, Bowen and Long haven't signed. I don't know if they'll announce the kicker as they usually come in as walk ons I believe.

From D2. Could be a steal of a find, a total bust, or somewhere in between. Hard to tell with these types.

Signed.

Nice start for the MAC, as they'd be 3-0 if Miami didn't come up 2 yards short. I predict Ohio and Buffalo lose their bowl games, and BG beats NMSU, leaving us at 3-3 on the season.

Im still hoping we get the DE from St Francis if he hasn't committed elsewhere already.

Good get, 3x all conference player at Tennessee State. Will give us immediate help on DL.

Dang

Well that stinks.

Tavari needs to clean up the freshman turnovers.

Doesn’t seem like he really wants to be here. Guess he’s trying to get what he thinks is best for himself, but doesn’t exactly project like a player who would spend his career here if he would recommit.

😂

Yes it seems like the staff is still engaging with him on twitter, he hasn't committed elsewhere yet, and hasnt had any additional offers roll in. Fingers crossed.

Leading RB for Louisville in 2021. Ran for 700 yards. Fell out of favor in 3022 for whatever reason.

I thought he played well in the 2nd half after that comment. Like I said, unsure if his play has really dropped down a level from the end of last year or not, but that's just the feel I get. Stats could say I'm wrong and I could just be taking his play for granted. He has higher expectations than everyone else on the team (not that others don't need to be all stars in their role), fair or not. We're counting on him.

I don’t pay as much attention to the rest of the MAC as some of you, but I would think Tavari has to be an early contender for MAC freshman of the year.

Nice energy to start the 2nd.

Sammy Hunter break out game! I’ll say this regarding Freeman, and this is strictly based off feel instead of stats, so I may be off base, but we need more from him. Feels like he’s not really close to the form he was in at the end of last season. The impact plays don’t stick out as much.

Looks like James will be early enrolling. I believe Wasel is as well, not sure about anyone else.

I’d be curious to know how attendance stacks up now vs compared to when we had a department under similar circumstances in prior years. While marketing is something we all want, I’d assume there was substantiation to cutting marketing as opposed to other positions (for example maybe the marketing department increases s attendance by 10% and another $200k in revenue, but maybe the staffs combined total pay is $300k. Doesn’t make sense if you’re looking to cut costs.
