Do we dip into the portal, reward a pwo, or bank them for 2020? Thoughts
There is no more banking with the change in recruiting rules.Do we dip into the portal, reward a pwo, or bank them for 2020? Thoughts
I think we are done for this year at QB.Have to think we're looking at a transfer DT, LB or QB.
I'm thinking TE and/or DT, OT, LB.Have to think we're looking at a transfer DT, LB or QB.
I guess I’ll be the lone dissenter and say that I feel we are fine without picking up another GT
We know the staff wanted to get another grad transfer OT and we know the staff wanted a grad transfer DE (we lost him to NC State).Have to think we're looking at a transfer DT, LB or QB.
My only question is why a DE? Both our starters will be gone next year in addition to the GT DE which leaves us in the same position next year.We know the staff wanted to get another grad transfer OT and we know the staff wanted a grad transfer DE (we lost him to NC State).
Coaching staffs meet with their players after spring practice to discuss their futures. Those discussions play a key role in determining the future for some players, especially seniors to be, especially seniors to be who have graduated.
My guess is that there will be late wave of players who decide to leave late (some might be waiting to confirm they are graduating too). My guess is that we will try and take a couple.
Ideally, one will be a DL and one will be an OT.

DT
Agreed. Especially now with Shy not being allowed to return.A one year rental plug and play DT would give us a proven commodity fourth player [with the fifth being Harper] - that would certainly protect against injuries.
If not that, then LB or OT are the positions where I would envision a GT being able to make a splash.
Looking at the 2019 Fishes and Loaves thread I think the culling is done. That would mean 61 returning and 22 commits for 2019. Two more spots. Even if some more players left they could only take 3 scholarship players under the new rules.We know the staff wanted to get another grad transfer OT and we know the staff wanted a grad transfer DE (we lost him to NC State).

Limited to 25, no holding over to the next year. Still can't go over the 85 total.
Grad transfers don't count towards the initial 25 but still count towards the total 85. An undergrad transfer would count towards the initial 25.I thought the 25 limit was for freshmen -- would still be able to add grad transfers beyond that. Not sure on transfers.
Since we seem to be intentionally bringing in PWOs, it may not be a bad idea to use any remaining ships to reward a few of those guys. That would show future PWOs there really may be an opportunity for them to earn a spot.

Starting LS(for 8 games) is also a pwo. Staff usually carries 1 scholly LS.Hope they reward Austin Chandler with a scholarship. 2nd team OG deserves it, then would find a LB to fill Shy’s spot
