I played in the same conference as Ferris State after playing some junior college football. Fun fact, he broke Matt Judons record at GVSU, again, all in the same conference.GayThoughts said:
Most of those guys would be nice depth, but I’d doog a bit for Caleb Murphy, he broke the NCAA single season sack record this year with 24.5 and has two years of eligibility left. Two other names areCFetters_Nacho_Lover said:
4/6 are from small schools. Not saying you can’t get hood players from there so don’t twist but Missouri Western isn’t exactly TE U.GayThoughts said:Other names based on coaches’ recent twitter follows:
Andrew Armstrong, WR Texas A&M-Commerce
Malone Mataele, DB Utah
Andre Carter, DL Western Michigan
Caleb Murphy, DE Ferris State
Mumu Bin-Wahad, DB West Virginia
Cameron Grandy, TE Missouri Western
Keaton Mitchell, RB, ECU (1325 yds & 13 TDs this season)
Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo (3 yrs of eligibility left)
Ferris is by far the most legit D2 program in the country. Coach Annese is about WINNING and that is IT. They look guys who are D1 capable but might not have a full ride from an FCS or can’t get into an FBS. They do a full “Navy-Seal Hell Week” in the summer where they let former drill sergeants wake them up at 4AM on Lake Michigan doing telephone pole exercises, old school shit.
The majority of the team has played at D1s or Jucos before ferris, it’s all about WINNING.
Multiple arrests? Don’t care.
Arrests are on national news? Don’t care.
Caught smoking weed on campus? Don’t care.
Using steroids? Don’t care. Here’s a car btw.
(Jayru Campbell for anyone who wants fun google search)
With that being said; The OL talent in the GLIAC is pretty bad. Usually 1 or 2 teams has a MAC Transfer at LT, guys are usually around 6’3-6’6 260-290. Very rare to find a lot of OL over 300 (except for Ferris States OL)
I think he would be a solid addition to the room, especially in the passing game, but he’s gonna need time to adjust to the bigger/faster OTs that he will face.

Heard there were some issues between playersDawgDaze71 said:
Jesus ...WTF did the new coach do? No wonder Big Papa got the F out of there. Dontayvion Wicks had 1203 yards in 2021 and then drops to 480 this year. I expect there will be a lot of players portaling out of that mess.theknowledge said:Brennan Armstrong from UVA is in the portal. All time passing leader at Virginia. Had similar numbers to Penix in 2021. His stats took a shit under his new coach. Great arm, great runner. If Penix departs, Armstrong would be a great replacement. With Big Papa (TWILTCH) maybe UW has an in with him.
Too soon? -

Hiring Tony Elliot from Clemson was almost Jon Donovan level stupid. He cratered Clemsons offense after Jeff Scott left for South Florida. Clemson fans wanted him fired before he failed upward and got the Virginia job.DawgDaze71 said:

Tony Ellliot was a horrible hire. Clemson had a terrible offense with him as OC.DawgDaze71 said:

Thanks @theknowledge and RoadDawg55. Looks like He and OC Des Kitchings shit the bed. Crazy shit that Brennan threw for 4449 yards last year and missed the Notre Dame game. He could have thrown for 5000 yards in a season. Plus he ass was sacked 30 times. He must be looking at Penix Jr and his 5 sacks this season with lustful eyes.RoadDawg55 said:

Stanford has some decent players hitting the portal and I would expect more. Assume these guys are academically prowesed so they might be interested in UW.
DE Stephon Herron - Had an all-conference level season on a shit team.
LB Levani Damuni - Has had a decent career, but also could just be another Cam Bright.
S Jonathan MCGill - Similar to Damuni. -

I’m hoping Eddy fully comes back to form next year, Bruener takes another step as a junior and that AT, now over a year removed from the Achilles tear, takes another leap forward. If UW can bring in a legit P5 starter to play along EO, have Bruener and AT as quality depth would be a pretty great group. Maybe Demario King will flash. Not sure what his injury was this year. Five LBs should be enough to let the new recruits redshirt and gain some weight.WoolleyDoog said:Stanford has some decent players hitting the portal and I would expect more.

Next season is setup nicely for ZTF to be "the" guy again. A year and a half removed from Achilles injury should get him back to his former glory. I have a sneaking suspicion that Trice might declare. I was confident our guys would get after it this year. I haven't seen enough flash from younger players to let me know they'll pick up the slack. I think our secondary will be vastly improved next season along with Linebackers, they'll have to be because expecting 35 sacks is going to be a bit too much.

Unless you test as a genetic freak at the DE position you typically go in the later rounds. No clue what his measurable are.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

I would assume they are good enough. He’s around 265-270 and doesn’t seem slow. I really hope he returns because he will likely be dominant. He’s gotten a lot better every year.AtomicDawg said:

Hate to admit it but you're right. NFL is looking for twitchy guys at End. They couldn't pass on Tryon because he just looks like a football player should.AtomicDawg said:

Trice is the guy that goes in the 3rd rd to Baltimore and they turn him into Za'Darius Smith. He just looks like the part.DawgDaze71 said:

Definitely worried Trice is gone. Didn't he have the most pressures of any player in the entire country?DawgDaze71 said:

@WoolleyDoog yes. I thinks he’s gone and I’m happy for him and saddened that if Latu was still here he’d be the heir apparent
-
It's tough but I'm generally in the mindset of wanting UW guys to just go to the league once it's the best choice for them. Hard part though is unless you're one of the four schools that have all the talent you kind of need guys who don't need to come back return for another year. Even with Gaskin in 2018 I felt a little guilty about it.DawgDaze71 said:@WoolleyDoog yes. I thinks he’s gone and I’m happy for him and saddened that if Latu was still here he’d be the heir apparent

I know I'm a broken record with Stanford academis players but Stanford's pretty good center is in the portal now - Drake Nugent. Could be a nice take with Luciano gone.

Mason Cobb. LB from Oklahoma State is in the portal. 96 tackles and 13 TFL. He’s from Utah. Get this kid now.

What am I missing with this guy? Other than being local he’s got almost no stats in three years of football. Has he been injured?AtomicDawg said:

Would love to see him at Oregon
He simply can't play -
you are right. I never watch cal but I guess I have seen him make the only plays in his career and assumed he was making plays outside of those times.theknowledge said:

Wake corner looks pretty good, entire staff (including kalen) and beat reporters following him.
