Next Year's FB Team + Scholarship Tracker | Spring Transfer Portal Open

[Kent]

My mistake. Neighboring state. Rightfully corrected. (Vermont State does have a FB team.)

I still don't want a QB. He wants one for cover. "We just didn't have a good QB on the roster."

BS

A QB playing at a much lower level? After the fiasco with Griffis whom Clawson religiously defended when all of you have, in unison, said he belongs at somewhere like....New Hampshire.

Great logic.

Get linemen and the skill positions will flourish.

I'd watch a documentary on this post. It's super-weird, yet oddly compelling. Sort of like a Beastie Boys music video.

I disagree with the QB part, though.

 

[80deacon]

Getting a player from FCS and believing Griffis can only succeed at FCS are two totally different things. Floors vs. ceilings, and that whole "you can't buy height" concept as well.

But yes we should also target trench guys.

I agree but we're dealing with Clawson making the decisions and his track record condemns him.

If Clawson really believed in "tall and big QB is better", he'd have developed Kern who had the far better stats coming into Wake verses the other 2 guys, and that playing at the 7A level in Fla, versus in rural VA. And did you note his runs vs Syracuse. We haven't had that since Newman.

Clawson wouldn't have let Edwards walk. Edwards had 3 TDs rushing vs Michigan. He was put in the game 3:times when Maryland got the ball inside the 5 and he ran for 3 TDs straight. MICHIGAN couldn't stop him! Think about that. What did we give up in letting him walk? As I said earlier if Clawson had the "competition at QB until the first game" policy then, Edwards would have won the position and stayed.

I don't essentially disagree with the last post, but there is quality to be found at the FCS level, a la Roberts. The fact that we offered is a very good sign. Still believe Claw is a "systems first" kind of guy, but if the stable is just 6'1"+ QBs I'm OK with that mentality

To be fair, Michigan plays in the Big 10 which is bad at football! Not impressed!

we are up to 15 confirmed departures based on my count.

we need another 14 if we want 10 incoming transfers.

I have no inside knowledge but I bet we end up with like 6 transfers incoming and have 10 guys leave - QB, 2 linemen, one LB and 2 DB’s

He gone. Good for him.

 

[Deaconblue]

He gone. Good for him.

May he follow on Jesse Bates footsteps to NFL stardom. Best wishes in the next step in his life journey.

 

[JKW385]

Dude gave us 3 good years and stock is high - looking forward to seeing him in NFL!

Well, first and foremost, Ashburn isn't "rural VA". It's a DC suburb.

 

[PhDeac]

People consider towns past Dulles to be suburbs?

 

[For Deac's Sake]

He gone. Good for him.

We’ve always known this, right? Of all the guys on the team, his draft stock is the highest and we never should’ve counted on him coming back because it’s been clear for a while that he’s going to the league.

 

[ironwill24]

Because he had an utter donk throwing him the ball for most of the season. Looked good with Kern.

Gotta think this one is on Clawson and the painfully slow decision to bench Griffis...

Hold up I thought we were a part of the

KERN

DONK

GANG

so is a donk a good or bad thing?

 

[80deacon]

I was born in Arlington and lived briefly in Falls Church. I know the area has changed greatly but I guess I still wouldn't put Ashburn in the heart of DC Metro.

Griffis had good stats but his high school was 4C compared to Kern's 7A. His h.s. had approx 1500 students, whereas Kerns was approx 4000.

My dad went to grad school at Vermont. Amazing place in the summer but the campus was underwhelming. Also in a different state than the University of New Hampshire.

I dunno. Have you ever seen Vermont and New Hampshire at the same place?

Commentators mention he's a draft prospect but do we know how high of a prospect he is? I don't think it was a done deal he was leaving to be a Day 3 pick or UFA.
