Same old recycled BS. Ashamed some of you chose to repeat it.
If the Cougars beat a legacy team (Fla St. Penn St. Auburn etc) it has to be because:
“They weren’t really up for the game”
“They had some players sick”
“Their best players chose not to play”
We beat the War Eagles in a hard fought game. Kudos to the team and especially those defense warriors who never quit.

does anyone know if they are now counting these transfers in the recruiting rankings?
I would like to see us getting a couple good cornerbacks also.

These are the safeties I have listed as returning this fall:
| 5 | Hasaan Hypolite | S | 5-11 | 205 | Jr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | Mark Wilson | S | 6-0 | 170 | RFr |
| 28 | Thabo Mwanki | S | 5-11 | 190 | Sr |
| 29 | Griffin-Taylor, Demarcus | S | 5-9 | 185 | RFr. |
| 32 | Gaervarrrius Owens | S | 6-0 | 200 | Sr |
| 33 | Garrison Vaughn | S | 6-2 | 198 | Jr |
| 37 | Deondre Dansby | S | 5-8 | 170 | RSo |
| 38 | Mike Welch | S | 5-10 | 185 | RFr |
| 41 | T.J. Marshall | S | 6-1 | 195 | RFr |
That’s 3 seniors, 3 juniors, 1 redshirt sophomore, and 4 redshirt freshmen. I think we have adequate safeties if we don’t add anymore. But, I am not sure if our staff thinks we need anymore or if they are happy with who we have. Hypolite and Owens are good safeties, as are Hogan and Mwaniki. I am not sure about the sophs and freshmen since I don’t remember them from this past season.
Agreed plus Auburn, playing in front of a home crowd, came out pretty fired and was talking some smack.
They wanted a win badly

Hogan is a CB.
Hypolite, Owens, Mwaniki, Vaughn, and getting back Mark Wilson. Makes for a good group of 5.
I definitely have us taking at least 1 more. But doesn’t need to be an instant impact guy for next season, IMO.

Yeah, some of these guys were listed as one thing when i made this roster and then changed to something else. Like Anderson was a DB and then an LB. I had to remove Lewis from that list also.
We signed the #1 junior college cornerback and also a state Top 100 prospect from Spring.

You are missing Antonio Brooks at safety. Coach has mentioned him as a future player.

Jim Perdue changed from that tag, so I have no clue as to the veracity of that post.

I can vouch for it… Big things are coming for the Coogs!
You can throw Cam Malveaux in there as well.

I think you are correct .
Go Coogs !
Oh very good one J_coog. He actually fits the bill better than Bowser. Yea that hasn’t been an area where they lacked having a good athletic edge rusher w ht. n speed. N moreso this new recruit isn’t coming as a backup if he catches on quickly bc they’re losing David Anenih n Logan Hall as Edge Rushers. Good catch.
More boom coming??
Looks like Mr. Strong is not a “wee little man.”

Can he “climb up in a sycamore tree”? Yes, I know the song.
