Roster Adjustment- Post Spring

Gables Canes said:
Kirk - was this a poor eval by Zo and the staff?
Redding - nice locker room guy, but time to move on
Logan S - not D1 caliber
Denis - will never contribute
Zion - time to politely ask him to move on/retire
Campbell/Gore - we can't have them eating up 2 spots. Keep whoever is better of those two
Freeney - same as Kirk, had some buzz coming in but has done absolutely nothing
Balom - We convinced him to come back...why? Time to move on
Markeith Williams - if he can't get it going this spring, might be time to move on

Bruh I don't even think Campbell started at ULM. Never understood that move.

Looking at the current number of scholarship players on the roster + commits arriving in the summer. Here are the numbers

QB (5)
RB (6)
WR (10)
TE (5)
OL (18)
DT (10)
DE (11)
LB (9)
CB (8)
S (7)
Specialists (3)

That's a total of 91 players that could possibly be here. We will need to trim 6 to get to the 85 scholarship limit and then also 1 for every transfer that we are going to take. Assuming that we go after at least 3 players (RB & 2x DB) we will have to lose 9.

QB - possibly 1 of the guys that ends up 3/4th string
WR - possibly Redding or Kirk if they're looking to find playing time
OL - need to drop 3 and get down to 15. Denis, Sagopolo and maybe someone like Tripp. Obviously this depends on how they perform in the spring. I really don't think that Cristobal should be on scholarship
DL - 21 I'd too much to carry into the season. Wasn't happy about them taking Daylan Russell on scholarship because of this (hopefully he makes me eat those words) Players like Gore & Campbell need to really prove that they deserve to be in the rotation or move on.
LB - I think 9 is a fine number
DB - Balom is the only one that I see here that we can afford to lose. 14 is not enough to go into the season. Isaiah Taylor as a walk on helps, but Thomas will be on the shelf for this year, so that's a wash.

It's going to be interesting who stays and goes and what the roster looks like when we open against the Gators. Overall talent is night and day from 3 years ago though

Think we’ll drop Zion too. IMO Doesn’t sound like he has much of a chance of playing again.

As long as JB doesnt transfer I'm good. Cam coming here was perfect for him in every way. He going to be a stud next year, and I would hate for it to be for another team.

Methinks if Poff stays he may have something to say about that...........Poff is a dog looking for a bone....a grinder

Lol I think you mean Poffo. Pfenny hasn't been on the roster for a while. Poffo is going to be the #2 QB so no probably not a great idea to send him packing right after he transferred in.

1 QB leaves- whoever finished 3rd
2 WR leave- Kirk and Redding
3-4 OL leave- Sagapolo, Denis, Zion and one more
2 DL- Campbell, Gore, Malik Bryant or Moten
1 LB leaves
2 DB's- Balom and Freeney

Total 11-12 players for 5 portal players to come in WR, CB, S, RB, DT

Its quite easy to trim our roster, but for some reason people get attached to trash players too easily I could have easily name 5-10 more guys who could leave and I would not flinch an inch.

Cold blooded!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: but completely accurate. Zion is literally 1st in line.

Love Poff but JB is barely scratching the surface of what he can be. Poff is pretty much a finished product

Bo Nix is about to go in the first round

Big JB fan as well way too early to write him off, though admittedly he has a lonnnnng way to go of course

I saw him look much better in the bowl game. He made some really good throws. I was surprised

He seems like a quality kid, hard worker, tough, huge arm, athletic

Might take a long time but it’s not a bad skill set to work with that’s for sure
