I was just thinking of the offense and realized our 3 most productive skill position players today are all former walkons-Postma, Birden and Bonner. I’m not sure if that’s a testament to our former coaches ability to find talent or an indictment that they didn’t do a good job on the offensive side of the ball.

No more non-graduate transfers either. I’d rather us use scholarships on JUCOs that were starters than P5 players that warmed the bench.

great info, Pray! dont forget Max Banes, OL from St Thomas, on the 2018 not signed yet list.
Didn’t realize we had so many leave after the 2014 season.
Whoops, thanks, added him.
Problem with coaching changes. Our former coach changed the culture and a lot of guys departed.
