Offer out to a CB:

From the Birthplace of Michael Vick. Has to be good based on that, right? 

[sioux24/7]

So I’m not a firm believer in building through the portal but I’m going to guess this year we see heavy action, especially on the defensive side. I’m sure Bubba and co. aren’t feeling amazing about their job security beyond next year so they need to make a dramatic push and as far as I know, we don’t have the bodies on the defense already here to rebuild that.

Interesting first offer. True Sophomore. More developmental than plug and play type of guy?

It hurt taking a Chance type player like Otis then having that blow up.  But, winning the GPA conference title doesn't need to be the goal either.   Bring in some dogs, win a bunch of games with them, hopefully they don't get arrested in the process??  It's tricky.

If this becomes our goal, we should just apply to join the Pioneer League.

You'd be a bottom-feeder in our league.

I think we are defending Champs..........

I've noticed we tend to recruit kids who are "nice" and were likely in their FCA chapter at their HS.

I'm not saying we need to go full "Ricky Vaughn" but we could pull in a few off this list.

The “dawg” is more likely buried out someplace in his backyard…

I would say they got some nice value from Otis, though. He was pretty damn good for that short while

All the more reason to go out and recruit the whole damn country. No restrictions. Get good football players. 
 

now, of course this is a bit extreme, but und should be more extreme than what they have been.

Some guys the coaching staff are following on X that are intriguing to me. 

• Jonathan Bunce (OLB) - St. Thomas
• Jordan Knapke (SS/OLB) - UNC
• Khai West (DB) - Mankato
• Owen Goss (DB) - Colgate
• Jimmy Buck (WR) - St. John's

 

Let's get some of those guys offers!

Rumor has it that Bubba addressed the team last week with more fire than anything seen in the past.  Maybe the message is finally resonating that the “Mr. Roger’s” approach to firing up the team is not really working.  Also hearing that our younger quarterbacks are making real efforts to take on leadership roles.  While it can be hard to expect significant changes based on history, I remain hopeful that we will see moves forward again next year.  This team can be frustrating, but I’m hoping for improvement and will be right back tailgating and in my seats next year.  I am, however,  hoping we see real changes on defense and get some of the old Sioux linebacker and secondary hitting back into the system.  Our coverage schemes on third down clearly have to be scrapped as well.  We have a whole year to work on that….

Possibly during player, coaching and possibly AD evaluations on staff people were a little more honest on what they “the team” needed to do and be able to achieve their goals next season.
