Yikes.  This is a huge risk for Cinque.   
Riley got him his shot here.  I doubt Riley has any desire to help him out again (especially while he's busy marching back to the Championship game right now).

[UNTLifer]

Replaceable.

[golfingomez]

good luck to him.

McCrae, who’s transfer was announced a while back I’m pretty sure, officially announced his transfer.

Oh well

[97and03]

Our recruiting and retention of DBs has been atrocious. We were playing freshmen in the two deep.

[UNTLifer]

It says something when injuries occurred and the best option was a walk-on and moving a starting safety to corner.  The safety room, his high school position, was pretty deep.

Is it deep though? We had Makyle Sanders and Sean-Thomas Faulkner, who moved over from backing up Tyreke Davis at the Eagle position, as our safeties during our run. Sanders is out of eligibility and Faulkner probably goes back to Eagle with Davis leaving. Gaddie and Harold West at safety sounds decent to me but depth is concerning after that.

The development has been really bad too. So many high-ranked HS recruits with impressive offer lists doing nothing on the field. Guys like Alex Morris, Jevin Murray, Upton Stout, Jaxon Gibbs, now Cinque Williams all leaving with eligibility to spare and almost all not living up to their HS recruit profiles. And not to mention Tavorice Weaver who looked to be better than his rating leaving mid-season after cracking the two-deep as a true freshman.

Not sure how many HS spots we have to spare but we could really use a couple HS DBs, provided we actually develop them this time.

Have a feeling we will be watching the portal and scouring the JUCO's.  We still have the following listed as safeties on the roster:

Dillon Williams, Harold West, Deshawn Gaddie, Keelan Crosby, Robert Johnson and Jordan Nichols.  I am curious to see what we do with Loronzo Thompson as well.  Is he injured?

Dillion Williams plays corner back. Also, all of our DBs are listed on the roster as “DB.” Our roster listings don’t make the distinction between corner or safety, so not sure why you’re saying those guys are listed as safeties.

All recruited as safeties except Gaddie who was moved to safety this year and was playing corner out of necessity.

We win 5 in a row & he enters the portal. Tells me all I need to know about him. Good luck.

[Wag Tag]

Is there an advantage to declaring for the Portal this early? Do the transfers go to the bowl game or are they immediately off the team?

No Loronzo isn’t hurt. He has switched from WR to CB. He will be a contender for a starting spot next season after he learns PB’s system.

I would assume they want to be able to get somewhere for spring ball.

So Novil is not coming back next year? Quitter.

lol.  oldie but a goodie

[GrandGreen]

Novel obviously deserved the ac honor, but I doubt these guys spend anytime on their All CUSA picks.

NT got 1 player on the second team and 4 on the third team. WKU had 6 first teamers, UAB 4, UTSA and UTEP 3.

 

 

[El Paso Eagle]

How do we have no O linemen on the list?
