Does Marshall even have a team to play in their Bowl game? This is beyond insane now. I think I read that there are over 3,000 players in the portal? If you take 130 teams times 85 players that’s approximately 11k. So close to a third of active rosters are trying to move?

Man did Jack increase his value in 1 year at App. Not playing at VT to bulldozing. Example of a recruiting success to show future recruits in a new world?
He sure did. I was telling someone the week before the All-SBC teams came out that he is probably our only OL who would make All-SBC and I felt it would be 2nd or 3rd team. Not use to being shut out the 1st team OL. We had Samuel picked HM but that is selected by our coach and not voted by piers. If you notice every team gets 4 for honorable mention. I wish they would adjust and have a voting total cut off to be listed as HM instead of just having coaches pick their own players for it. I would be curious to have seen how many players we had that would have been close to actually making the 3rd team. My guess is just 1-2 max.

Clark is listed now on 247, but we had already heard about him.

apologies if this has been already posted.

The AD should lose his job for botching this whole mess with Huff.
How did the AD botch it. It is my understanding that Huff was offered extensions that he turned down. The prevailing thought was that his wife didn’t like Huntington so that why he didn’t extend. Can’t blame that on the AD.

Any idea when we can expect to see commits from the portal?

Offer was made, then next year the offer was taken off the table -- things were rough for the past 2 years. Its the AD's job to do his best to keep good coaches.

May just be me, but feels like the largest rebuild we've had in my 30 years of keeping up with App football.
Which is part of the danger of hiring the guy who was hired. It's not like he has some long string of success to fall back on.

I'd rather live in Hattiesburg than Huntington. Just my take.

Sometimes people get jobs because they get pushed out of their current situation. Huff maybe one example. DL maybe another. Shula got a promotion very quickly.

Scary thing about DL is he bounced around in the NFL as the OC and never had a QB with a very impressive QB Rating.

This this a fail up promotion.

Hope it works out for ALL OF US Mountaineer football fans!

This is your reminder to get your bowl bets in early before the odds shift due to TP impacts.

Unless the entire staff was kept, it doesn't matter who was hired, there would be a mass exodus.

I've said it, others have said, and I'll continue to say it even though those bundles of brains in the NCAA will not make this change: you get ONE free transfer. One. Uno. Each subsequent transfer includes one year sitting out.
We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

With as poorly as the season went one would expect a bunch leaving. My concern is the better season we or any G5 has that increases players NIL value in the portal. So a championship season may wind up in same boat or worse losing talent.

The issue is the NCAA has no leg to stand o with this. Any move they make the courts would strike down or the big names of football would just breakaway from the NCAA.

So many thought this was such a great idea. Pay the players more than we always have. They deserve it. Well I hope all that thought this was such a great idea are writing big checks. Oh right it was a great idea if someone else was writing the checks wasn't it.

Exactly. It is funny how the people who are the loudest are the ones who don't expect to actually write checks. Almost like some people like to light something on fire and just watch it burn for no reason. Those who pound the table the most for pay to play need to be the ones paying the majority of the money to them.
