That being said- we are getting our A$$ kicked in the portal this year :lol:

We dont need a overhaul of roster like most schools but losing athletes to South Dakota State?

Me no like at all.

We need to get a new recruiting coordinator ASAP.
I’m gonna have to score that comment a scale 6 on the breeze scale :D or 25 knots out here on the high seas

Nothing is not seen.Especially with the portal.
Every kid reports every offer. Its leverage. It would be not smart not to post it.
Our now first public commit did not report any offers on social media before committing today.

Hey, as long as they are Hens, don’t care how it happens. That’s how recruiting works sometimes. It is ok to give some credit to the staff :lol:

I believe offensive analyst Ty Crabb and senior defensive analyst Nick Hunter have left.

Wishing them well and hopefully are being elevated somewhere to positional coaches.

I am not personally worried about the transfer portal right now. The first couple of days are going to be dominated by the big schools and the big dollar players, a market that we are not going to be in. We picked up two transfers today and these are the type of players that I think make the most sense for us out of the gate.

1) In-state players that went elsewhere and, for whatever reason, are looking for a new home (James Steel, Caravel, UAB)
2) Players we recruited out of high school but went elsewhere and are now, for whatever reason, looking for a new home (George Mullins, Michigan St)

That is not to say that these are the only type of players we should target, but as a newer FBS program, these type of transfer will be the ones where we might have a slight edge in that there is already a built in relation and knowledge.

Portal Entries ended yesterday.

You get one Portal to get it right this year.

Im still concerned.

No WRS.
We got some DBS..
Were still losing kids to FCS schools.

A kicker, 1 OL,1 DL....

Breeze chart should be a STRONG 7-9.

Carty got a plan right??
