Taron Keith removed all of his posts about receiving offers on Twitter. I imagine this means he has either made his decision or is coming back to BG. We'll probably know soon.

Attended more games than any responsible student should have.

Hope he's coming back. It was an underwhelming group of offers IMO. He's knows what he can do and how we'll use him here.
GO BG!!!

Jordan Jackson is in the portal as a grad transfer. Depth safety.

I am also getting the impression that Deshawn Jones Jr.'s dip into the portal hasn't been as lucrative as he imagined so far. Offers from Akron and RMU and has been reposting his highlights lately, which makes me think that he has not heard from the schools he thought he'd be hearing from.

And the starter at his position left so he would likely get more PT

I was wondering why Jones even tried the portal. His best move is to stay.

It's early but, by my count, we have had 7 students flirt with the portal, only one sign.

We have had no coach defections?

Avi McGary is back next year. He had 2 picks this year. Good depth piece.

A couple coaches indicated that there are some solid commitments coming our way. Fingers crossed!

Early signing day opens tomorrow. Expect it to be a busy day. Staff is recruiting high school hard and there are some good players to be had.

Loeffler said they'll hit the portal hard in January to plug holes. WR, DB the focus. Would like to add a QB to slot between Anderson & Bazelak/Orth next year to balance out the room.
