[Haros]

Coby Davis out of eligibility?

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

not terribly surprised, but what's the source for Perry expected to leave?

 

[Deacsfan27]

Seeing the number of OL guys out of eligibility is not fun. Could be an experience there next year even with the reps that we have tried to get younger guys.

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

yeah, the OL situation is incredibly worrisome

 

[Dkin]

Whiteheart = expected to leave since he said he's leaving.

 

[thatguy2016]

not terribly surprised, but what's the source for Perry expected to leave?

I saw him interviewed before this season, and he stated he came back to earn his degree, which he will presumably do before next season

 

[Haros]

DT is even uglier than OL. Only Kevin Pointer and Justin Williams (listed in non-rotation) aren’t out of eligibility there.

We could potentially slide Bernard Gooden in there, though he would be very undersized even if he gains some good weight (273 at present), and it would hurt our depth as he’s slated to be our #3 DE. The true frosh + transfers will have to fill that spot - and we don’t typically like to play freshmen on the lines.

 

[DeacInVermont]

If y'all's goal was to make me feel better about how this season has gone, it didn't work.

 

[liveanddiedeac]

Yeah, no doubt. Hopefully we see good offseason development from the younger guys and a good pickup or 2 from the portal.

 

[PhDeac]

So we're looking at a full rebuild next season at multiple positions coming off a lackluster end of this season.

 

[Deacsfan27]

At least people won't expect to win 10 games next year!

 

[Pilchard]

DT will be a major emphasis in the transfer portal.

Possible that Caelen Carson could draw NFL interest.

 

[thatguy2016]

yeah, this really drives home the fact that we have missed a real opportunity over the last 3 weeks

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

clawson talking shit a few weeks ago about how we won't come crashing down next year could age pretty poorly

 

[DeacInVermont]

DT will be a major emphasis in the transfer portal.

Heads over to check out the Richmond Spiders roster...

 

[thatguy2016]

Let him seek or, as a second reward, pleasure, who is repulsed by reason

 

[liveanddiedeac]

DT will be a major emphasis in the transfer portal.

Possible that Caelen Carson could draw NFL interest.

Is Elijah Hall playing DE or DT for us? What about Isiah Chaney?

I believe we are pursuing this guy who is transferring out of ND https://247sports.com/player/jacob-lacey-90901/

Re: Coby Davis, he technically could apply for another year. I believe Clawson he would welcome him back either as a player or on staff.

Are you doubting the developmental system/transfer portal scouting ability?
