2020 roster.

Losing Seven Wilson is a huge blow,

The new tight ends coach needs to get Tucker Kraft going, quite a bit more upside to his game than Heins. Would be great to have both in 12 personnel.

After seeing Zimmer's tweets last night, makes me excited about the upcoming season.

Anyone hearing anything from the first few practices?

• Does Gronowski have a legitimate shot at starting at QB?
• I haven't Gibbs in any of the photos or videos, may be just coincidence??
• Who is stepping up to fill Cade's role? Campbell/Sullivan/Bauer/Dailey/Cole?
• RB room looks pretty thin behind PS. The grad transfer looking good?
• Any other departures we are missing? Looks like Seven Wilson is no longer on the roster.
• Hopefully Heins is fully healthy, we need a TE threat in the passing game.

Checked the Northern Illinois roster and Gandy is there, but Evans is not listed. Not sure if he is opting out of this season, or if he didn't end up going there. Northern ended up with an 0-6 record.

Looks like Gandy had a decent season, although have a DB as leading tackler could suggest DL and LBs weren't pressuring QBs much.

Dont know about Jordan Gandy, but Evans wouldn't be playing for SDSU if Jackson was still coaching for the Jacks. He is probably lucky to get the second chance. Good luck to him.

Really good write up on Cade Johnson in The Athletic. Behind a paywall, but they usually have a free trial available. Quote from his dad on him transferring as well.

”I’m not gonna say there were not inquiries about Cade,” Clester Johnson says, “But at the end of the day, he’s gotten noticed there (at South Dakota State), and we’re seeing guys get drafted from all over. If you’ve got skill, they’re gonna find you. We know they’re gonna get Cade the ball and he’s gonna get every opportunity to shine and he’s gonna try to win a national championship with that team.”

So in private life Evans life style was less than perfect. IMO I thought he was a very good football player .and am disappointed to read this in your post. Enough said,

I don't think it's "?" For anybody.

RFr. Cornerback, Ti'jah Davis, no longer listed on the roster. He played in 4 games last year before suffering a season ending injury.

DB stud Diamond Evans has transferred to Northern Illinois, too. (The Dan Jackson factor?)

Most likely the case. Eric Eidness no doubt had a hand in this too, Thanks Eric, I suppose all is fair in love and war. It says something about the state of the program at NIU. When they dip down to FCS for players, then things are not going good.in DeKalb. I took a Saturday course at Northern Illinois years ago, and back then not much gameday excitement. I doubt much has changed in 50 years.

Jordan Gandy, CB transferring to Northern Illinois and closer to home.

Has anyone heard of the Jacks bringing in anyone off the transfer portal? We do have some places that could benefit from this, not sure if anyone has heard anything

I’d say this is good news.

So I know we are/were all worried about Cade grad transferring home to Nebraska at one point, not only has his twitter basically reaffirmed his commitment to the Jacks, his little brother Keagan swerved the entire state of Nebraska and committed to the Hawkeyes this week.

Honestly, we've been so spoiled at Mike with long term starters I was hoping another freshman would step right into the roll. We essentially went from Johnson to Lalley to Rozeboom. I realize Levi needs to get on the field as well. This is definitely a good problem to have.

I know it's hard looking at paper to figure out. Just like how the mens basketball team played better with arians at the point but the team struggled with out wilson. I feel like gotta go with your 3 best and wilson and brown outside makes sense with backhaus in the middle. Who was the linebacker who retired last year. Started as a freshman urbanek I think. He would have been great to see take over.

On a separate note it's hard to believe how much talent the defensive side has lost over the last 10 years or so. With Evan's leaving this year and urbanek retiring shake Taylor's and others.
