We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Cleaning the house out isn't a bad thing. I wish these young men luck.

Re: Transfer Portal 2024/2025
These guys are in exams starting tomorrow. We're going to see more of a wave of guys entering once they get home and have a chance to think and talk to family and friends. Flip side to that is, once we hire and get a new staff in place, and they have a chance to contact existing guys, you'll see some pull themselves out of the portal.
This is going to take a while but we should know most everything by the time classes start in Jan.

Re: Transfer Portal 2024/2025
We will likely see plenty of interest in transferring in pretty soon. Like next week.

Re: Transfer Portal 2024/2025
I feel like we get a QB in the portal from somewhere. Anybody feel the same? Or do we think Wiles is on track to start 25?

Re: Transfer Portal 2024/2025
assuming we have a staff by next week, maybe even some of our portal players coming back- anyone that will fit the scheme.

Probably depends on new coach and OC on what system they want and what type of QB.'RadioNeer98 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 10:15 amI feel like we get a QB in the portal from somewhere. Anybody feel the same? Or do we think Wiles is on track to start 25?
I just had a quick nightmare of a triple option offense.

Re: Transfer Portal 2024/2025
Don't hold your breath. That was a big problem for Shawn during his tenure. Registrar would stone-wall credits and players could not transfer in. Thank you Chancellor Everts.
We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

We don't know what our scheme/style is for next year. And since he didn't see any meaningful playing time this year......RadioNeer98 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 10:15 amI feel like we get a QB in the portal from somewhere. Anybody feel the same? Or do we think Wiles is on track to start 25?

“In the portal” is just going to be something we’re going to have to live with.

Donald, our stud DT portaled. So essentially the starting DL is gone. Going to be fun learning new faces and numbers next year.

Some good high school talent in that bunch, however two most coveted, or at least highest rated, that were coming as a package deal decommitted.Bigdaddyg1 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2024 7:00 amSaw where we signed 9 yesterday. What’s the word on those guys? Any gems?

Re: Transfer Portal 2024/2025
Read an article earlier this week on signing day class 4 year retention rates… college football is so broken the rates are no at 20-30%. Pre-portal, 4-year retention rates were in the 60-80% range.Bigdaddyg1 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2024 7:00 amSaw where we signed 9 yesterday. What’s the word on those guys? Any gems?
I took a look at our ‘24 roster by class back to the 2019 signing class and we are in-line at ~25% for the ‘24 season.
With that, a signing class of 9 expect 2 maybe 3 to become household names.
Absolutely devastating for a historical development program like we have been. I absolutely hate it.

Re: Transfer Portal 2024/2025
It definitely hurts the business model. I think our NIL dollars would be best used on player retention if we want to try to maintain what makes us special.AppDawg wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2024 7:50 amRead an article earlier this week on signing day class 4 year retention rates… college football is so broken the rates are no at 20-30%.

Re: Transfer Portal 2024/2025
These guys really weren't that good this year. I'm not going to sweat any of them jumping off.
