Looks like the speculation can be put to bed. Mark is officially staying.

I've thought Mark would be back after he took part in spring practice, but it's great to make it official !

  • FCS NIL considerations
  • Jacks' roster and chances to threepeat
  • Change at OC but with continuity
  • Gronowski's stats and draft stock
  • Jacks' FB culture and potential impact on roster stability/infrequent transfer portal activity
• Zim (1hr 28min mark)
  • Thoughts on Gronowski's return
  • Jacks NIL collective
  • McCormick's, Davis', and Greenfield's NFL prospects
    • Also devote time to Jankes' prospects and how they'll theoretically be competing against each other for roster spot

Sam Hagen is 6-6, 320 and an experienced o-lineman. He's exactly the type of player the Jacks need to fill a hole and provide depth in a strong roster. Welcome, Sam!

I feel like worst case scenario this sets a floor for the O-Line. I would think it is more likely than not that Quinten Christensen will occupy one of the tackle positions, and now it seems like we have the answer to the open guard position. If someone steps up and beats out Hagen for the job I feel like that is a really good sign. Reading Zimmer's article before the spring game, it appears we have multiple options fighting for the other open tackle spot. I thought it was a little odd that he didn't even mention Hicks as one of the options at tackle, but I am hoping this was due to his injury and he can go into fall camp healthy with a chance at winning the job. It is nice to sure up the biggest question mark heading into 2024.

I've listened to interviews with Jimmy and Ryan Olson, and they both said that the second tackle position is going to be a battle between Hicks and Colby Christensen. And another positive with Hagen is that he also played some tackle at UND. I saw a post from a Montana fan, and they are disappointed because they thought they were going to land Hagen because the former UND OL coach is now at Montana.

Thats encouraging. I'm glad Hicks isn't being written off already. It's not every day we get a consensus five star recruit who could have gone to any college out of high school. Hope he can stay healthy and live up to his potential.

Just listened to an interview that Hagen had with Dom Izzo. Sounds like he had FBS interest out of the portal. He specifically said San Diego State and Costal Carolina called him the day portal opened.

Jacks losing one to the portal. http://www.x.com/McShaneCullen/statu...04900370051385 Completely understand players deciding that they want to move on, but confused why players who are seeing playing time make those decisions at this point of the season.

I hadn't looked at the depth chart before the game, but was a little surprised to see Ollman as the replacement for Bock rather than McShane. I am not questioning, but just remember hearing the coaches talk about McShane previously and seems like he had usually been in when Bock subbed out. Both were listed on the depth chart for the game with Ollman listed before McShane.
