Decision Announcements

[booneboy92]

Pat Washington has got to be one of the giddiest position coaches in all of college fb right now!... And what if Malik stays too?!

[Appstrong]

Well, can’t say I saw that announcement coming

[TevieridesASU]

Any chance for an update chart of who is coming back, who is gone and maybe a coaches chart as well?

It's great being a Mountaineer!

Go Apps!

Thanks!

[appstate24]

Have we heard anything about Malik Williams? Are we to assume he’s gone at this point? What about Xavier Subotsch? Would love to have them both back for another year.

GO APPS!!

I'd love to see Soub come back if he is back to full strength. I dont think he was back to pre injury form

I would not expect him back. Not sure that he could ever be 100%.

Like I mentioned up thread, Diarrassouba may only be on the team to honor him a scholarship to complete his degree. Not sure, but he does not look to be playing again.

This will offer more insight:

The number of guys coming back for their extra year was instrumental in Chase Brice choosing App. Here's his quote from a WSJ article:
“Before I had committed, there were talks that they had a good idea of who might be coming back,” Brice said. “And when you see fourth-year seniors or fifth-year guys decide to come back, that told me all I needed to know about what they’re about and the program.

“It lit a fire under me because that’s the kind of people I want to be around.”

I found that really interesting and it does say a lot about our program. Here's a link to the full article:

That article mentioned Cooper Hodges was one of three returnees on the line. Im guessing that is wrong. Didnt he announce he was entering the draft? Wish he was coming back.

Cooper will be back. He will only be be a redshirt Junior in 2021.

Sweet. Got my wires crossed. Thanks Greg.

The two tackle will be Hodges and Hardy. Unless someone steps up. The interior will include Hunter. Not sure which position he will man. Could be guard, could be center.

I read that article too (great write-up), but I've also wondered if the feelings weren't mutual, and that Brice joining might have influenced some of our guys coming back. With the number we have returning, it tells me they like what they're seeing for '21!

In that part of the article, he was actually talking about the Offensive System/Style
“This will be my third offense learning so that part is hard, knowing you’re going to be running another system. However, the last system I was in was a lot different than what Clemson ran, and the Clemson system has a lot of similarities the App system has.

“... It allows the receivers to kind of be free to work their release or their route. The quarterback being free as in the decision-making, it might be simpler on reading the defenses on where you can go with the ball. You can get through it fast. Obviously this will be my first spring learning it, but I think I’ll pick it up pretty good.”

Xavier Subotsch has announced he is also returning for 2021!

Great news! X has been very good and consistent the past couple of years.

GO APPS!!

Good for X-man. Clayton Howell (Previous Freshman All American) is the better punter IMO. https://appstatesports.com/sports/footb ... owell/6116

Howell was great when he won the starting job as a freshman. I suppose Subotch simply won the job back last year.
