Roster/Staff Updates

[AppStFan1]

Nick Taylor hurts, I think. Not real sure. We were very bad on D but he made some plays as a true Frosh.

I wonder what his reason was. There could be issues and if so then it might not hurt but I was under the impression he would play and has a chance to be really good so this one could hurt some for sure.

There are about 5-6 that entered the portal today. Most I assume with suggestion from the staff.

[311neers]

McKinnis, Gooch, Farrar all gone...ummmm. And Bussey.

Are we about to start Arnholt again?! Fart.

I am sure we will bring in someone. Hopefully we have been scouting the FCS and D2 level for some underrated players.

We've got Littlejohn and the LR kid...but probably need a few more with the 5 LB departures today (Farrar, Gooch, McKinnis, Bussey, Lenhardt).
Need to get bigger and faster in the front 7. And in the secondary.

Accountability.

[Bootsy]

Keep in mind that some of these kids don’t necessarily want to leave.

Nailed it. Not sure what DLO & DJ have cooking, but it’s clear they’re starting to hand out walking papers.

As poor as App’s overall LB play was last season, can any of us be surprised at the turnover?

[311neers]

Spring cleaning.
How bad were we at recruiting and development with the previous staff?
Hope DJ and DLo have us headed down the right path.

It was pretty bad last year, but not because of the 5 that just entered.

Keep in mind that some of these kids shouldn’t have been here to begin with. I had several (not affiliated with App) tell me an OL that entered the portal today was not a good player. His early exit confirms what I was being told.

This is a new page for this program. Exciting day where talent and accountability is valued!

Wait on Moose for more details

[ASUFan4863]

TSU DL visiting today. Utah St DL visiting tomorrow before visiting Charlotte this weekend. Be patient and let the coaches evaluate, recruit and develop.

[Stonewall]

Roster upgrade is a priority. That’s an indirect quote.

I just hope he's right about who he runs off and who he brings in

Tough but necessary. It was pretty clear a lot of the guys weren't FBS quality.

[311neers]

Now I’m kinda confused. 7 Linebackers gone.

Our lone remaining linebackers are Arnholt and Phares….probably our 2 slowest ones. If we’re telling guys no thanks, I thought Arnholt would be the first to go. Lone man standing!

[ASUFan4863]

We’ve lost 3 playable LBs - Farrar, McKinnis and Haynes.
Gooch was medically retired by our doctors. Farrar was borderline medical retiree as well.
Bussey was an Edge in the new scheme (a position we just added to today). Cole and Lenhardt are safeties and we have a plethora of those.

We’ve already added an ILB in the portal. We’ll be adding more obviously. Just breathe people.

[ASUFan4863]

People complaining about Arnholt. I understand it. He’s a decent backup and I hope Willis starts above him. However, if he’s better than everyone we are cutting loose, what does that tell you?

He absolutely is not better.
