Mason is/was a free agent, but I am unsure if he is still with them.

Bill Weber was the quality control coach at Cincinnati in 2023

It seems the stupidity never ends.............. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2024/01/former-oregon-tight-end-cam-mccormick-returning-to-miami-for-unprecedented-9th-season-of-college-football.html

Good luck to Major, except his first game. This might give them some stability with a late coaching change

ESPN reporting that Major Applewhite is close to getting the HC job at South Alabama (he is their OC.) Might be a good way to keep the staff together and minimize the transition

Hopefully we're able to add some D linemen and a LB, or two in the Spring portal window to go with the DBs

A - They are trying to keep their jobs B - They are trying to avoid lawsuits C - See A

Hornsby transferred to Ark State. They had another QB, Rogers (not sure how far down the depth chart he was), who is transferring. So, 3 QBs from their 2023 team left.

It looks like the Texas State star QB did not take kindly to them bringing in a high-profile QB in the portal.

If he's one semester away from graduating from TCU why would he not finish

A for Offense = 4.0 F for Defence = 0.0 B for S Teams = 3.0 So overall, 2.33 (C- sounds about right)

Looks like our opening opponent will have a new Head coach https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39318276/south-alabama-coach-kane-wommack-join-alabama-staff At this rate (with all of the HC changes) their may be players in the portal ongoing.

@TheReal_jayD Will he be here for the Spring?

Would not mind another LB, or two

And somehow, these kids will transfer 3-4 times as undergrads and be able to graduate?

It seems like we are entering the "unlimited transfer" era. https://247sports.com/Article/ncaa-memo-clears-way-for-multi-time-transfers-to-play-in-2024-223780692/

Add one more now, and focus on the front 6 in the Spring Portal.

As a long-time Mean Green follower, I am naturally a little paranoid. I'm glad CM pinned his commitment, but I will feel better once he updates his profile. 😈

I think we are very likely to see Stone back in the portal in the next window.

I would/will feel better if we get some size up front. If we can't slow them down before they pass the line, it will be another long year.
