Re: Dowell Loggains and his recruiting staff are absolutely phenomenal.
The title game will be interesting because Cristobal is a recruit-first coach. His game plan is to put 11 athletes out there that are better than your 11 at that same time, and hope the disparity is enough to win. We might get a bit of an insight as to how that will play at our level because I see our coach as similar in mindset.

Re: Dowell Loggains and his recruiting staff are absolutely phenomenal.
Having the highest rated recruiting class is new territory for Appalachian and we just do not know how to react to it yet. I do know from working at a summer camp with team competition that in order to win you do not need the best athletes what you need are the second-best athletes and girls that can play.
It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few years because we have always done more with less. I wonder how much more we can do with more. The fact that an NFL's Quarterback son is wanting to play at Appalachian who is transferring from a Big 10 school really says something. Although we have had a quarterback come from UCLA before, that was a different situation as well as one transferring to UCLA.

I know he is a pocket passer. Any idea if he has legs?AppWyo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 12, 2026 2:12 pmHaving the highest rated recruiting class is new territory for Appalachian and we just do not know how to react to it yet.

Yes, he has legs. Go watch his HS tape. His dad, he is not from that standpointbcoach wrote: ↑Mon Jan 12, 2026 3:03 pmI know he is a pocket passer.

Re: Dowell Loggains and his recruiting staff are absolutely phenomenal.
Well. I have not kept up with any of this stuff. I will say this is something we have not to my knowledge been able to talk about in the past to this level. If the Jimmy and Joe's perform on the field at the level they are rated on paper it could be a very exciting year next season. I like the excitement, something we have needed for too many years unfortunately

It's definitely encouraging to see the caliber of talent being pulled in this year. Loggains and his staff should be commended.
If team chemistry can quickly be built this spring and player development accelerates, we should have good reasons to be optimistic in the fall.

Re: Dowell Loggains and his recruiting staff are absolutely phenomenal.
No matter who you got on the team, you got to coach them, you’ve got to put discipline in them and you’ve got to get them to play together and for each other. Cignetti and his staff do that. Can ours? Remains to be seen.
