Hobbs, Moi, Josephs expected to be back? Jordan Ross going to play next year?

Yes imo as of now

-AP

Is Josephs gone?

No I firmly believe he will be back

Good

 

[LotteryPick]

Lot of pressure on Ross, but he’s talented enough to fill the void of Pearce leaving.

The DL being intact is HUGE. Jordan Ross will take a big step in the offseason and will be an important piece next year.

I’m content. DL seems to be locked up for next year.

Get Thompson and OL should be locked up unless we go after an elite OT, but I’m cool if not.

OL and DL being locked down is great. Wonder if we wait till spring portal to fill skill positions after we see how the freshman practice

I've heard nothing about Weathersby one way or the other. I hope he can come back fully from his injury.

Gotta play the young kids on the roster. I think we have talent, just no game experience.

We have to get comfortable playing the player with the higher ceiling over the veteran guy who knows where to be but not talented enough to make the play on a consistent basis.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Do you believe our NIL budget is enough to put together a roaster to compete with the Elite?

-Hubbs

may wanna pay after what we just saw


offense doesnt have an ounce of juice


and maybe get a LB and Safety with some actual athleticism

 

[D3Athlete]

DLine least of my concerns. Rodney Gardner is the coach, what Ap said holds to be true. Dline will wreck shop again. Gettin Suggs will help with depth.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

theyll wreck shop until they play real teams and Timmy B will find a way to bring only 2. The vaunted 2 man rush.

 

[JT3]

I knew why everyone wanted a satefy and LBer from the portal but didn't think we would go after one with what we have coming back. After that game on Saturday, I wonder if the staff have a different opinion now lol.

 

[D3Athlete]

Honestly the most exciting thing for 2025 is the chance of how good the linebacker group can be. Carter being a junior, and the recruiting class coming in. The speed and athleticism over that group will improve dramatically

Carter looks bad

Telander worse

 

[NighthawkVol]

I wouldn’t overreact to a single game.

I also don’t care if fans “feel good”. Fans are way too emotional. If we based everything off of feels then we would’ve go through multiple HCs per season in every sport.

No, you wouldn't. I wouldn't.

But the legions of the miserable sure as hell will.

Carter was trying to do much after Pili went down. Yeah Telander probably played his worst game of the year Saturday. Like for him to slim down some. But with spillman, Harmon, Anes, Perllote, and Gass (even tho he will play edge too). That’s a serious overhaul of speed and athleticism

 

[D3Athlete]

Safety will be 100% the biggest question mark on defense in 2025.

Need some more experience or teams will feast on UTs young linebackers.

No knock on Brooks at all because he came up huge so much, but the athletic disparity at S has been an issue all year.

They will let Carter lead thay group, and wouldn’t be smart imo to grab a portal Lb when you just signed 4. Will make the room crowded and chance some hit the portal. Let the freshman. Hopefully they are EE’s

Brooks played the best of ability imo this year. The speed and athleticism just not there. Idk what to make of that group tho. Jourdan Thomas will back. Does he take over were Boo was at and Boo slides to safety. What about Jakobe Thomas, slaughter, Farooq, Turriente, and then Tim Merritt. Just nothin but question marks

 

[cncchris33]

Weird fit. AU has a lot of talent at WR.

Safety talent been an issue for a long time it seems

Hopefully boo takes a big step and can play fs or Ss with his speed that would help

Oh ****, recruiting is fluid???
