But in today's NIL/Portal climate, do you really want to see a true frosh show what he's got?

Which two would have stayed and if you make the case for two why would any of them have left? I suppose my cynical point is, it's not going to be about coaches as much as it will be about money. Not saying that coaches don't matter, but the almighty dollar reigns supreme. How many adults work for jerks but get paid well for doing it?

This is the new normal. Get young guys onto the field. If they develop well, they're off to greener pastures (more money). Rinse, repeat.

So rosters will always have 50% RS and Frosh

The concern of course is that they develop these guys over the next two years, they get good and the Portal calls. See, OL this spring.

If we can't even keep the Schweigerts on our team...

Was he really 235 last year. I thought Rucker looked like a 185 pound DB last year. Hoping he put on some weight though I think he was listed at 220 last year.

Gotta be from a certain generation to know that. Now it's in my head as it goes round and round.

Been hoping on McNeal since he came here. Hope this is his year.

I hope one of Mr Deng's common routes is: Run as fast as you can straight to the endzone and we will try to get the ball to you (hopefully the OL can keep the QB upright).

He's a crazy good athlete and rumor has it that he's been hanging out with Belquist this summer

The one I saw was from February

Good points and I think last years LBs get better. Biggest concern is the line. Is there enough meat to stop the run? Will Rucker be the pass rusher the team hasn’t had in a few years.

Who are the new guys on D that gives you hope? or which D players from last year will remarkably step up?

When is the first practice?

I'm thinking this was not a job for the new coaches as they had made a good connection with the kid. That connection is now at SDSU

True But the great factor in recruiting isn't about the players but the money. Who can we buy?

What business are the Mikkelsons in?

I'm with ya. Just making the point that the salary for alleged amateurs is out of control.

That should pay for ... what ...5 really good players. For a season!

For all the reasons you've stated, I'm feeling a mix of hope with fear. Lots of "what if's" right now. Yet, I can't wait for that first home game tailgating.

I don't recall. I think it was posted on this site, but if it was a tweet from a coach wouldn't that be good enough?

It was noted last week. We now have 3 new OL monster trucks who I hope can open up lots of holes and protect the QB
