2023 Offseason

[roguewarrior]

The cynic in me says the WR depletion was the motivation for SL's sudden interest in running the ball

My thought Exactly!! I think 5 bodies right now for spring. That’s impossible to practice.

I think he wants to put an emphasis on running the ball because we’re currently very bad at it. But that’s a fair point. Lol

Who are the 5, by your count? Just checking out the roster now and even after those subtractions, I’m counting 7 - OJ Hiliare, Tae’shaun Johnson, Austin Osborne, Trey Johnson, Jaden McKinstry, Jalen Holly, and Jhaylin Embry. Plus Shawn Thigpen and Jacob Harris in the incoming class.

5 was an estimate. Yours is accurate.

If Terion Stewart is coming back then they better focus on running the ball. He could do real damage with a decent offense and line

Here is the 2022 roster with guys leaving
The 2023 roster with recruits added
The 2023 Recruiting with signings, reported commits and Xfer offers. We didn't add HS offers as that would take forever.
JPFalcon and I can add any updates and changes.

I am going to add a sheet on coaching staff as well.

You can update spreadsheet with below:

JB Brown Portal.

No QB on roster named Anderson. Only Orth and Bainbridge left thru today.

WR Room emptying: Gone are Croom, Rogers, Niehoff, Cook , CJ lewis, Hoskins …. Broden likely to Portal.

Lawler and Bacon done.

Couple more talking portal….

Anderson is the new QB recruit.

Hillaire and Osborne both could be gone. At this point Broden is a maybe and Niehoff-Rogers-Cook-Hiskins are all just rumors.

If Hillaire and Osborne are back with adding Ibrahim then that position is probably fine regardless of Broden. You keep Broden and it's a strength.

All the WR’s I mentioned are gone graduated Dec 10 or are graduating in May. Not a rumor, they are done.

Graduation alone doesn’t mean guys are automatically leaving, but I trust your intel, Rogue. Appreciate the information you bring that we wouldn’t otherwise have.

Hoping you’ll be around here for a while. I don’t know your son’s eligibility (or position, or name, etc. ) but it’s a pleasure having you be a part of the conversation around here.

Thank you! We are done. 4 year letter winner, 2 time academic all MAC. Graduated. On to bigger and better! Thankful that for the most part I was able to remain private/anonymous, as I didn’t want all the garbage that comes with that for him. I appreciate all of your guys passion and insight. Good luck to all and happy new year!

There are 5 WR recruits so far. Thigpen, Harris and McNeal are freshman.....Grguric and Ibraham as Xfers

Great news rogue. Glad he was able to get out with gainful employment. I echo Matt and hope you stay around these parts but obviously understand since you no longer have a dog in the fight.
