God... it's been so empty here... I'm getting desperate. Do we expect a large blue-shirt crop or are we pretty close to being caught up on Schollys?

I expect them to not use as many blue shirts this year but I do expect several Mid term signers this year.

Do you have a list of who all is visiting?

I do have a list started I usually try to release it if possible once the students arrive

Did we offer him a scholarship?    He has a ton of PWO offers from big schools.  He's likely not coming here without the scholarship.

This is exactly the same scenario  in which we landed Moore in my recollection.  Worth every penny in hindsight.  Another disadvantage for g5 is we have to give full scholarships to kickers while p5's can get away with PWO... believe me the p5 will use that same scholarship for a big defensive lineman.

Yep.  I totally agree, and I hope SL also agrees with us.   Understood on P5s, but we must recognize where we are & the importance of the kicker where we are.   Without a clutch Moore, we possibly lose both UAB & Army this year.
If we want an elite kicker, we're gonna need to use one of our 25/85 on him.   
Want to risk having Knott2.0?  Just offer PWO to all kickers & see which one sticks.

Twitter says 6'5" 250. Hudl says 6'5" 245. Former Euluss Trinity Player. Kind of difficult to track down a lot on this kid, especially for someone who went to trinity. Maybe one of our more trojan friendly fans has the scoop. There was a Laki Saafi, who played LB at the all-district level his Jr. year in 2015, was moved to almost purely a blocking tight end in 2016 as a senior and got first team all-district. He was however listed at 6'1". There was also a Josh Saafi at trinity but maxpreps says he graduated in 2012... so maybe like TJ, goes by two names and is also related to the 2012 Saafi from trinity. Saw an article that i could no longer find that Josh got injured his senior year, last year with some sort of arm ligament issue and sat most of the season so his options dwindled. Honestly, I keep looking but don't know.

Question for the recruiting guys... With McMillan's size he seems like a DE (basically the same size as Hamilton)... But with him being a DE/OLB type any potential he could be playing the Jack position next year? Honestly would love to see him at the Jack because of his size with a DL of English, Young, Hamilton.. that is pretty heavy/strong push-rusher group..

If I had to guess in the current system, he'd be a true DE.

If you look over the last few years our heaviest LB has been BG at 230. The 3-3-5 needs guys that can move well in zone blitz schemes, as well as laterally to the flats/up the seams. That's why McDonald, being a former safety, played so much. Gotta be able to cover space. JoJo will likely take over for Wheeler at the Jack with Ejiya/BG starting going into the spring. I won't be surprised to see a kid like Brown(if he commits) starting in the middle when it's all said and done.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      Tim Pernetti's (new AAC Commissioner) remarks regarding exploring more corporate involvement seems interesting and innovative, sort of. Getting some heavy-hitter businesses on board with their big advertising/public-relations budgets. They get to splash their logos all over the AAC venues, ceremonies, uniforms, etc in exchange for some NIL type moola. I don't know, it all just feels weird and uncomfortable to this old fat guy.

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.

      SB at Memphis (4/19-21/24)

      Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend. SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT. HOME AWAY NEUTRAL THIS WEEKEND Florida Atlantic 13-5 .722 33-12 .733 19-6 11-6 3-0 vs. UTSA North Texas 12-6 .667 25-19 .568 15-8 7-9 3-2 at Memphis Charlotte 12-6 .667 26-16 .619 12-8 9-7 5-1 vs. Tulsa Tulsa 12-6 .667 27-15 .643 13-3 9-8 5-4 at Charlotte UAB 11-7 .611 20-22 .476 13-5 2-13 5-4 at Wichita State Wichita State 10-8 .556 19-18 .514 5-6 9-8 5-4 vs. UAB South Florida 9-9 .500 30-16 .652 23-11 7-5 0-0 at East Carolina East Carolina 7-11 .389 30-15 .667 21-7 5-8 4-0 vs. South Florida UTSA 3-15 .167 12-34 .261 3-10 2-14 7-10 at Florida Atlantic Memphis 1-17 .056 5-34 .128 4-16 1-13 0-5 vs. North Texas
