    I was told to expect a new coach next year as well, FWIW. Hope it’s BS.

    In the interest of my preserving my Saturday sanity, I'll throw out there that Rogers would be a dark horse given candidates discussed in articles here and here vs. forum posts.

    Wilde in the portal with a do not contact tag, which means he knows where he’s going. Not good, folks.

    Hearing rumors about some of our best players and coaching staff getting poached. Hoping they’re just rumors. Was told there would be official news sometime today.
    The portal's "winter" window closes today, although the university has 48 hours to submit the player's info. into the portal after they receive the paperwork, so it could be early next week before it becomes more than rumors on the player side.

    Oof! That sounds awful. I hope he heals up and lives a pain free life. I loved watching him play, but its football. If he wants to keep playing, more power to him. If not, I wish him the best.

    The tldr:

    He broke his broke c7 vertebrae during NDSU game and is now wearing a neck brace. He was granted an extra year because of a '22 acl injury and will now "... wait and see how everything goes later on to decide if he wants to play another year." Additionally, regarding his recovery, “I’ll have six weeks and then I’ll get re-evaluated by a neurosurgeon, and then we’ll go from there.”
    I can definitely understand wanting to take time to consider options and potentially calling it a career

    He will be a huge loss if he isn't coming back.

    I was able to listen to the article. Said he fractured the C7 vertebrae in the semifinal game and went home in a neck brace. Has an extra year of eligibility but doesn't know yet if he will use it. Sounds like it depends in part on how recovery goes. But the tone of the article suggests it's more likely he's done.

    Players that are ranked 105-140 on the roster at an FBS school are probably still ranked near the bottom of our roster, I would not expect any immediate help to our roster from a player being cut from an FBS roster. I would expect to find somebody that is a decent backup or can contribute on special teams. A player that is a diamond in the rough and because they were an unheralded walk on, they never got their fair chance even though they showed up everyday and worked hard (or harder than big name NIL guys). A player that is a late bloomer and will develop into something in a few years.
    I agree. Maybe we've lost a recruit or two who decided to take a PWO at a Nebraska or Wisconsin, but I don't recall any. If we lost a recruit to a PWO offer at a P4 last year, maybe that's someone to consider. But a random walk on at an FBS school who hasn't played in 2-3 years is not likely to improve our roster.

    It'll be curious to see what the new roster and scholarship limits will do to FBS programs. Our top talent seems to be guys who get a handful of G5 scholarship offers, maybe a late offer from a lower rung P4, and PWO offers from their home state school. I think a lot of these guys could probably could have a PWO offer from other P4 programs, too. Will these players now get scholarship offers? Or will the 20 new scholarships be reserved for portal players who've proven themselves elsewhere, rather than stretch high school players? I assume that the emphasis is going to be more towards the latter than the former.

    And how many more scholarship spots will this open up at the FBS level? The assumption has to be that all P4 programs will offer a full 105 scholarships. Will Sun Belt and C-USA do likewise? This might cost any given program $1,000,000 per year or more. It's no sure bet that many G5 schools actually offer a full 105 scholarships.

    There should be loads of players available in the portal. FBS schools have to cut their rosters down to 105. I've seen reports that schools like Nebraska had around 140 in the program.

    The offensive coordination could be a lot better next year. And a few difference makers on that side of the ball. Basically the things that held them back this year.

    Just to echo what everybody else perceives....

    Redshirt him next year would be my guess. Should be fine with Bell as the backup, could always pull the redshirt if Chase gets hurt and Bell isn’t good enough.
