Under the current situation, transfer portal, I think you have to go for broke every season. I don’t really see a way to build a team that will last for more than one season.AppWyo wrote: ↑Sat May 10, 2025 2:04 pmIt seems that App is going for broke this season. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_for_Br ... 51_film%29

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
This staff won’t be telling everyone that year 5 is the year, that’s for sure.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
That was a big issue for me previously when we had assistants swearing during the 2023 season that 2024 would be the year like 2019 and then we fall very short. A staff needs to put out reasonable expectations and if anything under promise and over deliver.ASUFan4863 wrote: ↑Wed May 14, 2025 8:56 amThis staff won’t be telling everyone that year 5 is the year, that’s for sure.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
If you do not believe every year is the year, you tend to lose hope of ever being what you would like to be...
When you lose hope, no matter what your situation may be, it is hard to do or make anything happen.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
It wasn’t just assistants, or just coaches. A lot of people bought in. That’s why we are starting anew .

Well said as it applies to , well , everything in life. Most much more important than football. My thought anyway.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
Is our roster pretty much set or do we still expect some movement?
Slower guys out, faster guys in.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
I imagine that we are set. The portal is closed and we are at 85 scholarships. Don’t know what the plan is once the House Settlement is complete to know how many more scholarships we will fund. The football team golf tournament is this Friday so that is a chance to ask.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
Players with a degree can enter the portal at any time though. I wonder if we have any grad students who might decide to enter late?AppSt94 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 01, 2025 10:10 amI imagine that we are set.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
Yes. Took some time to get their information dug out. I've built them profiles and placed them as PWO's for now. We're still seeing how guys in the DSA portal are going to be listed.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
I'm not happy to see Wilson leaving the QB position but I certainly understand it. I'd much rather see him make this switch than to enter the portal so it's actually pretty refreshing. I'm guessing that, with his athleticism and understanding of offenses, he can be a significant contributor as a DB

Re: Roster/Staff Updates
Interesting to see him moving to DB instead of RB. If he was a dual threat with his legs offensively, seems he would have stayed on that side of the ball. Will pull for him no matter what position he plays though.Yosef84 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 12, 2025 1:42 pmI'm not happy to see Wilson leaving the QB position but I certainly understand it.
