Boswell hitting the portal...

I hate to lose this young man, but I am not as concerned as others. I question whether he had the speed to play today's LB position.

 

We are losing players and it is saddening. Still we aren't alone. Toledo is headed for a major rebuild. Recently I touched base with an operations staff member formerly at UT. Candle asked him to join him at UConn. The pay raise was nearly double. Anyway he told me Candle has taken 22 UT players with him. Obviously Candle would not take any player that couldn't help, so these 22 were scholarship players who were expected to start or get significant PT at UT. Candle is following the plan that Cignetti executed at IU: take the best players, who you know, and build around them. Despite all this I expect UT to be good. They have a great MAC brand in football.

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

McManus entered the portal today.  I was hoping to have one more year but wish him lots of luck.  I think he has a very bright future ahead of him.

He was going to be our best OL.

he had a lot of offers coming out of college. the players really liked him and from what i heard he was a hard worker.  I think schools were scared because of his height but i was impressed and i thought he did very well and stepped up to the challenge for the most part.
