Roster/Staff Updates

[Saint3333]

Half the team is like a big fish story, gets bigger every time someone tells it.

I heard Jerry Moore say it and may have even read it too.

Jerry likes a big fish story. Simply put, half of the team leaving for SC isn’t true.

He may have lost a lot of players, happens every year, but only a handful transferred to SC.

Clyde Christensen announced

This seems pretty big. Is this big?

Amazing hire. Dowell continues to prove that things can happen on the mountain with the right leader. After being told “that’s not possible” for 5 years, it is refreshing to have someone ask “why not?”

[ASUTodd]

We don't know what the future holds but we do know that Gillian and the University have allowed Coach DLo to go get some coaches. The players will come once they start seeing the coaching staff. I know we wished for the staff to be selected sooner but Im ok with waiting if this is the quality we will get.

Been more than 5 years. Heard Laney say it a ton long ago. I think the reason we have people say something isn’t possible is just them saying they can’t do it. When people say something isn’t possible I believe you relieve them of their duties. Get rid of that mindset.

Colorado School of Mines? We can’t compete with them.

LOL. It was probably said by Laney at some point.

Laney's favorite quote was "WDDITWAA"!

His staff ran off many more players than Sparky took. I believe only 3 or 4 ended up in Columbia.

Obviously it worked out in the end but that story isn't factual.

Somebody is giving some MAJOR money to coaching staff...... AND I LOVE IT !!!!

Clay. Killian. Fuller. That’s three.

I heard him say that half the team quit when he got the job.

That is where they make the Coors.

With no other known defections, this is what I got. I know there will be others who come in and say so-and-so is gone and will be updated.

This doesn't count Reece Larson, Kaedin Robinson and Jason Chambers who are in the portal but uncommitted.

Nice work . Thank you.

[311neers]

Will be interesting to see how the LB room shakes out.

Farrar Gooch Haynes McKinnis should be the top options.

Definitely need more experience in the WR room and DL as well. Maybe even CB.
