Arkansas transfer
5'11" 190

Looks like his brother(?), Luke, is in the portal from Arkansas as well. He's a 6'3" TE.
EDIT - TE has committed to Ole Miss.

Updated the post as well. Wonder if we are going after his TE brother as well?
Edit: never mind TE is going to Ole Miss.

No Oops, the TE brother is the one going to Ole Miss. Not the Safety, he has committed to us.

People are asking what Loggains is doing in the portal. Looks like he's doing exactly what he said by focusing on retaining our current players.

Let me preface this by saying, I still like the Dowell hire. However, not sure keeping the guys here that just went 5-6 is the right approach. Losing is a tough habit to break, and the dudes still here, have done it far more than we are used to.

Are you talking about players or coaches? Unless you got a couple mil we are gonna have to keep some players on our not terrible roster. Some of yall need to stop embarrassing yourselves. We aren’t Ohio state but our roster has plenty of talent. Everyone is so ridiculous right now. We aren’t buying a new roster. Come down to earth. and are you someone disillusioned we retained RB1? But you’ll still like our head coaching hire? What world are y’all in?

Having a coaching change right as the portal window opens makes it tough to get quality players from other schools. Not impossible but not easy. A lot of the transfers you do see are from the coaches prior schools. We had talent outside of a few glaring weaknesses at (ILB and FS) and those aren't the guys were targeting.

Some of you seem to think 5-6 is the absolute bottom for us. It isn’t. Not knowing anything about Lindenwood but 1-11 is a very real possibility. This “burn it to the ground” mentality is what causes cycles like ECU is in.

I’d say coaching was the problem this year, not the personnel. Game plan on both sides of the ball was stale. I think our HC, OC, and DC got complacent. Glad some of the studs are coming back.

There are no guarantees but it was a fact we were on a downward trend over 5 years. If one can’t see that then one is burying their head in the sand. There was NO evidence that the previous staff was going to change reverse that trend.

IMO a change had to be made for the good of the program. There is already hope and excitement that next fall will be a better year (whether it is or not). We could not stay on that same path.

So far there is no evidence that we will be any worse off. Only time will tell but in the meantime there is reasonable optimism with the fan base. There is value to that alone.

We were looking at 1-11 if we didn’t make a change.
