honestly, i really like it.

Great pickup from a ceiling perspective. Hasn’t been able to see the field because of injuries. If his knee is healthy, he could be great here. He hurt his knee at least twice, undergone surgery . Was the recipient of the Philip Rivers Award, given to the team’s top rookie… played in 12 contests, starting six games… credited with 36 tackles… logged 9.0 tackles for loss… led all ACC freshmen and with 4.5 sacks… tallied a career-best nine tackles in the win over Duke, including 1.5 TFLs… forced a pair of fumbles.

With how the roster was constructed by spring time, the coaches had to be banking on some scholarship guys entering the portal so they could grab defensive lineman and fill other holes from spring evals. Seems to be part of the plan, but we will see how it pays off.

Almost certain we offered him out of high school.

Once you enter the portal the coach has no obligation to offer you your scholarship back.

No brophy on the recruitment, I imagine athlete.

So one of the last two spots is for a wing, what do you think we are looking for in the other? We already pulled a lot of guards.

Every time alternate uniform colors or changes are made:

I would say Benford had a greater affect on attendance than style of play. Second to benford, things are just different post covid and i think the AD is still figuring that out.

Wren Baker said on his post NIT interview on the Green Room that as many offers as Mac had turned down, Hodge had turned down plenty of jobs at p5 schools for double the money.

I will say, i have heard privately from a players parent that there are payments going out of the fund to some players. So something is going on, i'm just not certain why we wouldn't be more active about promoting it and the good it's doing.

Does anyone have a single update from the Light the Tower NIL collective since the meeting ? Seems like we are being left in the dust. Losing guys like Gumms to the portal is where other schools are finding ways to step up with NIL. Tylor Perry would be a great NIL investment trying to keep him for next season. My last post about the collective asking about its social media presence and volunteering to help was deleted and I wasn’t given a reason why, so hopefully that doesn’t happen again. Have we given out deals? Have they taken in money? Are they actually operating?

Yeah but Jordan Williams had to be dragged down by benford's abysmal coaching and rotations. So he gets extra bonus points.

outside of Houston the AAC was about as good as CUSA maybe worse... Memphis lost to FAU so they would definitely been in the top 4 but...
