On Mohamed Toure...

This was his statement last August when he tore his ACL

“I deeply appreciate everyone reaching out and praying for me. … I also ask that you pray for the first person I will face when I return — they will need it.”

That's the tone setting attitude we've been lacking

Don’t be surprised if we add a few more players to this roster.

Transfers id assume?

 

[Empirical Cane]

They will compete to start. Toure will battle Popo and Bonner will battle Wes. I expect them to be the Top 4 at LB, assuming Toure is healthy.

What are the LB room expections vs ACC peers?

@Cane30 let's hope it's a Michigan DT

 

[Canes_Blooded]

Who would we still add to this roster?

Short of an elite WR, two deep caliber DT, and starter caliber ILB, I am good with letting the roster run with what we've got. At some point, gotta play the kids and see what you have in a game setting.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

I agree, but people are saying we can still add guys. I’m just wondering who, the portal is barren

It's necessary.

 

[BeastMode]

James Williams spent half of his career telling Wes where to go lol

And Flagg. Wes will never be able to handle the mental side of the game. He is what he is. Simplify the game for him and if he still can’t do his job then he needs to see the bench.

Grad transfers or can kids just quit and join a new team any time they want to now?

Don’t need the portal. A players can choose to not enroll at their current school. Then simply enroll a t a new school.

Isn’t this true of every team in college football? At some point it feels like we expect a team without any weak units, which I would love, but I think every fan base is making this same argument right now. If we just add a _______.

I think that is just human nature. Even in my coaching middle school basketball and AAU I keep wishing I just had another shooter/rebounder, etc... But at some point I need to see that I have a pretty good team and it’s time for me as a coach to get them to where we need to be.

I don't disagree with you, but I always think you should be looking to improve if the opportunity presents itself. I've also said for two years that our LBs stink, and I still believe that. I also believe the WR could use another solid player, and both of these are obvious deficiencies, the former of which will cost us against someone.

I also come from a South American/European school of thought where a club is going to play 4 competitions most years, so you'd better be ready to face highly varied competitions and competitors.

Believe the NCAA all but said that with X Lucas. As long as they can enroll academically I don’t think anyone can stop them.
