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.

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - IN
We really need to get some DL transfer players signed. We lost most of our entire DL production and have yet to bring in a single transfer player to fill the void. Need to get cracking quickly.

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - IN
I'm sure with the pipeline was have to Arkansas, we might get 1 or 2 DL from them. That was a joke, but you are correct, we need help at the DL.

Just noticed this NM State OL grad transfer said he enjoyed the visit. He's been offered by most of the SBC it seems and UNLV/UNCC/Tulsa/WKU and others.

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - IN
DL does seem to be the biggest need right now.
Admittedly I haven't even looked at like WR/TE on what we have coming back though.

At a minimum, Flowers should rate an extra half star for that flowing Adonis mane he’s rocking.

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - IN
This is just an observation, "Oh it is terrible the players we are losing to the portal," and "Oh it is awesome the players we are gaining through the portal." It seems as though the two cancel each other.
However, it is human nature to think that what we lost is better than what we have and what we gain is better than what we have.

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - IN
Looks like we landed another WR. Austin Peay transfer Jaden Barnes. Don’t know much about Austin Peay, haven’t kept up with FCS after we moved up. He appears to have had a pretty successful run with them though.

I'm sure Moose will be along soon.
Listed at 5'8" and 162lbs. So I assume fast.

So we have an offer to Bucky Williams’s brother and just landed Jaden Barnes. Now
If we can get Bucky Barnes and his brother, we’ll be unstoppable.

We are close on several others , obviously hyper competitive for lineman. Yes. Bucky came from The Peay.

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - IN
So, I am a football player in the TP. Its January,
If I want to play, don't you think I would take an offer very soon so I can be there for spring practice???
These kids are nuts that are waiting for a better offer

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - IN
Unfortunately, I think for a lot of players, the "better offer" isn’t necessarily about a better program or more playing time. It feels like many are just focused on earning as much as they can now, knowing that making it to the next level is a long shot anyway. So, whoever offers the most upfront tends to win.PhillyApp1 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 5:31 pmSo, I am a football player in the TP. Its January,

That said, I want to be clear—I’m in no way trying to belittle the players for this. I don’t blame them at all for taking advantage of what is essentially an unregulated free agency as amateurs. It’s just the reality of the current system. Of course, there are definitely some outliers who don’t fit this mold, but that’s just how it seems to me!
