“I also fit into the offense and like how they want to use me. They want me to be a receiver out of the backfield and return punts.”

I understand the need for pass catchers for this offense but we literally went from the Power I, run the ball 40 times a game, offense, to the "we will never run the ball ever again because swing passes are runs" offense. Good lord

40 rushing TDs vs 31 passing TDs

 

Maybe Littrell specifically told the offense to limit the number of runs on Saturday to focus on the pass game. That's my hope at least. Or maybe I'm just blinded by my skepticism to the actual run/pass ratio on Saturday and going forward

Coach Littrell was also O.C. under an offensive-minded head coach.  There's no telling how much of that run-pass balance was on Fedora.

Sounds like a pretty good athlete.  But if we had a scholarship available, I probably would have used it somewhere other than RB.

Agree.   I believe we only had 1 left for this class.  There are needs everywhere, but I would hardly call RB a 'need'.  Even if Ivery is moved to the slot, or has grade issues, we still have the two Chapel Hill RBs who can play (when they're not hurt).

Which.....has never been the case for Rex Rollins.  I think this is a great pick up and at the bare minimum offers a strong insurance policy for Willie Ivery.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's not a good pickup.  Heck, I don't really know.  I just think there are more pressing positions to pinpoint with a single scholarship than our backup/3rd-down RB.  We're gonna be in a world of hurt if we have to insert a backup safety in for McClain/Gray.  DL?

Now if he steps up to be the primary KR/PR man, then hey! It's all good!.

Folks, Rex Rollins not with the team any more. Old news.

We currently have only 3 scholarship RBs with a freshman coming in the fall. Anyone totally comfortable with that given that Tucker is unproven, Ivery is small and has grade issues, and Wilson has never played a full season?

I am not. Welcome, Mr. Wyche.

Nope.  But I'm far less comfortable with our O-line, WR corps, et al.  And you mentioned scholarship players at RB...how many scholarship QBs on our roster are you comfortable with trotting out there?

That said, I am also very uncomfortable with our punt return situation, so if he ends up filling that role, it's a very worthwhile pickup.

3 years eligibility and a versatile punt and kick guy. I like it.

^^^^ This.


Littrell is going air raid. We need a return guy who's not a regular WR, since the risk of one of those guys getting beat up on returns and punts is too high. I see him as a guy we can throw to the wolves and he'll be able to handle himself.

Don't think this has been posted yet... great article on this new recruit: http://www.recruitingnewsguru.com/interview-los-angeles-valley-rb-anthony-wyche-readies-for-sophomore-juco-or-division-i-season/

Writer says, Wyche currently runs a 4.4 40 yard dash and still working on speed....  writer states, "The biggest question surrounding Los Angeles Valley freshman running back Anthony Wyche is will he be a one-year top talent at the junior college level or will he be a two-year?" 

Sounds like a decent pick-up...

The talent Los Angeles Valley College running back Anthony Wyche posses was never much of a secret in the college football world.

His academic status was another story.

Wyche was a good student growing up in Philadelphia and continued to shine in the classroom in one season in junior college.

That success set Wyche up to transfer after his freshman season

This perplexes me, if his grades have always been good, how is that another story?

UNC was also ahead in most of their games last year. Those 4th quarter snaps were usually running plays.

Littrell's offense will resemble Leach's offense. He always had one guy who could take handoffs in the backfield next to the QBs or go out into the flat and catch a dropoff and turn it into a big play. But those Tech teams threw the ball A LOT...

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.
