The Zips have a former Army RB on staff, so that, plus the fact that we can essentially guarantee a starting job, gives me a tiny bit of hope we could land him.

Starting job next year maybe. I don't think he beats out Fish or McCoy as a true or redshirt freshman (unsure if he ever actually ended up at Army?). Might be able to push Cooper when he's on the field, but I think we predominately run a 4-2-5 d.

Offers out to JUCO OL Jared Morrow and Liberty transfer DT Kendy Charles. Morrow originally signed with Coastal Carolina out of HS.

I wish we were seeing some more smoke concerning the quarterback position.

Would be fascinated to know what was said about the QB position by Fessler.

I’m also curious as to why Gilbertson was not in this pic. I’m assuming he was on the road recruiting.

OL from Northwestern State. Looks like we’re behind the eight ball on this one as he’s already had in home visits from UMASS and Buffalo.

Still haven’t seen many realistic options that would be a significant upgrade over what we already have. May have to wait until the dominos start to fall and a few guys are left without options they originally thought would be available. 

 

Outside of the obvious P5 transfers, almost all of the other QBs have some type of flaw. Whether it’s lack of experience, turnover prone, or just a poor fit for JoeMo’s offense. Maybe we end up landing a guy like AJ Swann? Good enough to be a part time starter, but is viewed as a backup by most P5 schools. Perhaps someone like that eventually decides he wants to be a full time starter somewhere and goes G5. That’s at least the type of scenario I’m hoping for.

OL from Merrimack. 1st team all-conference.

[Blue & Gold]

I know Kamarii Landers was hoping to come back after (in my understanding) a year @ JUCO but as far as I can tell we have not re-offered him.    Does a player have to spend two years at JUCO?

No, it can just be one year. Might be a situation where the staff is keeping him on the back burner in case they don’t land their top targets. Or they may not offer again at all?

Has Landers received anything in terms of offers this cycle that you're aware of?

No, and I double checked that.  He's a good player who I'd love to have back at LT but his grades must be a real issue.  Poor young man, I hope he perseveres and gets a degree.

Staying on the former Zip theme, Dakota Thomas landed at a JUCO after his departure. Wondering if grades were an issue with him too. Honorable mention all-conference season at JUCO.

Zach Gibson is back in the portal. He’d be perfect for JoMo’s offense. He only left b/c he was butt hurt over Arth getting canned, so, loyalty basically.

[Blue & Gold]

Doesn’t appear we had any trouble attracting WR talent without him.

Agreed! I was thinking about him the other day, though I figure he's only got one year of eligibility left at this point. I saw his brother (a much higher rated recruit and an OL) was also in the portal. Wonder if we could get a package deal lol.

I thought Zack would of flourished under Moorhead. I hated to see him leave. The article below says he is a grad transfer which is why he is transferring a 2nd time without losing a year. It also mentioned a possible package deal.

I was curious about the Merrimack OL. Nick is 6'6" 310 lbs. Cole is 6'4" 310 lbs (lists himself as 6'6" 315 lbs on his Twitter).

 

Buffalo, PCCC, and UMASS are the other DI FBS schools that have offered Nick according to his Twitter. 

 

Cole also holds offers from UMASS and Buffalo.

 

Merrimack was 5-6 on the season.

DII WR with a year of eligibility.

What the hell is up with all the WRs? Also, this guy has a ton of legit offers.
