Also it’s kind of crazy to me that a 13-5 Buffalo and 14-4 Akron are playing in a sparsely attended game. Remember when Buffalo had a respectable student section? Times have changed pretty quick.

As someone who has been skeptical of Halligan’s playing time, he seems to be coming along. Good to see

No doubt another former Zip who started at LT this year for Mississippi State in the portal again to presumably transfer up. No other offers (maybe 1 other) out of HS if my memory is correct.

I can’t believe EKU beat us out?!

Could just be a walk on, but giving up scholarship + exposure at Akron vs likely being buried on depth chart aand paying your own way at Texas feels like a head scratching move.

Just saw that. Good for him, but seems a bit crazy. Also, he just entered a few days ago and somehow ends up at Texas? Feel tampering-ish to me.

Feels like we should be set on offense aside from the TE position. Nice that we kept Williams/Mason/Gant/Patrick. Still feels like we have a lot of work to do on the defensive side.

You can now play 3/4 the season in football, but you can’t play in one of ~30 games for basketball. What are we doing here

Ehh he lit it up at FCS level for multiple years, enough to warrant going to Miami. From there he was behind the #1 overall NFL draft pick, then at North Texas he was behind one of if not the most coveted QB of this year’s portal class. I think its a pretty good get considering circumstances.

We love former Albany QBs

Damn. Do you know if Lyons has another year of eligibility? Thought I saw a photo of him working out recently

Saw a few players tweet about wanting/possibly expecting this guy.

Seems like a solid crowd for a Tuesday night game vs Ball State.

You can tweet him too

He’ll look solid for us for a year or two and then transfer away.

I’m honestly more excited about Beals. We heard the talk of Broughton last year…but IMO it’s sort of telling that he didn’t see the field at all. I don’t have a dog in the fight though, just win baby!

Do we know if we get DeWalt back next year? If so, I think we’re set on paper at least at starting CB. Catrell White was the day 1 starter last year (and was looking really good), but has had season ending injuries each of the past 2 seasons. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

From what I can tell, also had offers to NMSU, Arkansas State, and Liberty this cycle.

Can’t miss

I wonder who the rating drivers are for CBSSN. The only time I watch is when the MAC is on lol.

I would think anybody who commits after a certain date is going to have to wait to enroll after this semester is over. Not much different than it’s historically been. Only change (based on my understanding) is no more portal entries can occur after the 16th.

I think Groce generally deserves the benefit of the doubt, but I agree with you. Whether it’s a starter or not, I don’t think anyone besides the 5 should be taking up valuable minutes for defense unless it’s Tribble-level OR situational. Since the lineup change has been made, we feel more like the same old Zips rather than a dangerous team that can drop 90-100 on you any given night. And i’ve heard Groce’s comments about not getting worked up about starting lineup changes. I agree, but my eyes tell me the team has not looked as good recently with the rotation changes. We’re in conference play now. Our defense should look better by default with some of the bum teams we’re playing. How much is competition vs lineup change? I know our offense has taken a step back.
