Loved the interview. Gave me complete “mad scientist” vibes

So it sounds like Casullo really likes the redshirt freshman class. He didn't include Byron Washington when naming those guys, despite being in the same class, but he obviously didn't redshirt.

He must have included Hawn as a Center right now along with Stewart. I will be interested to see who is fighting for the other OT spot opposite Mack.

I like how our new DC, when asked what was different from his last location, said our offensive line is massive - think that’s the word he used. Now let’s get em moving in sync

Castillo talked about playing to the whistle and finishing plays. I liked that.

He was at D2 Texas Kingsville from 90-94 and had two guys drafted that he coached during part of their careers (93 and 96).

That to me is pretty dang impressive.

Anyone else think we're going to be really good next year?

Yes. richmondcuse03 has been to a few practices already and was nice enough to give us intel on how it’s been going.

The roster is much improved. LB, DL, QB notably. The WR room is sneaky good & I would argue the RB room with johnson, miller, hill is a great little trio as well.

Anyone else think we're going to be really good next year?

I do, but I think that every year. I really believe it this year. If Angeli can stay healthy all year, we will be really good.

If he stayed healthy last year that was an 8+ win team, even with the defense.

I agree. I think with an improved defense and a healthy Angeli, there isn't a game we can't win. Even ND.

I prefer my opinion.

Which is always correct.

Anyone else think we're going to be really good next year?

I want to say yes. But projecting this year on what we think we could have done last year with a full year of Angeli, while looking at such a small sample size is tricky. TN we were OK but got beat rather handily. Colgate was Colgate. UConn we were not good for most of the game until the end when the O turned it on. Then against Clemson we were solid but obviously they were not as good as expected. I mean two weeks prior they beat Troy 27-16 and then lost to GT the week before us. They weren't exactly playing stellar football as they started out 3-5.

But I thinking coaching and defensive scheme wise we should be significantly better. But we will be very young overall in 2026. if we can do well being so young, that should set up for a very nice 2027 considering the experience we should have returning then. Angeli has another year of eligibility through 2027 as does most of the rest of the team.
