  1. True, past players would visit under the last staff, but adding from the past winning teams can only help. I certainly hope we grab a few more transfers and haven't slowed down. The Big 12 isn't the best defensive league by a long shot but I like the look of Rogers and Beck fitting in. This year's graduations and transfers are no where close to the loses from 2018 into 2019. We had only 2 of 10 All-MAC players back in Patterson and Ksiezarczyk. And we won 8 games.

  2. Good analysis. I see that O'Hagen is coming back to help out, so maybe he can help with that learning curve for the next center. I'm really looking forward to having the past players around. It seems like our current coaching staff is going above and beyond to get them back in the fold. I never heard anything about the previous coaching staff doing any of that. It seemed odd not to lean on those people that have had success. I'm glad that's becoming a thing now. The kids will enjoy it I think!

  3. Teams that lost the most per 247.com Based on the Athlon projections link in the article, as far as starters that projected 2 deep looks glaring (Debose + Cone should be circled too, while Woods is still on the roster). As it is, before the transfers we had four 2020 All-MAC players going pro who had to be replaced. Riggins, Wright, James Patterson, Fuzak, Marks, Ron Cook, McNulty have been All-MAC, and Vantrease is 12-4 as a starter. Winning the MAC East looks a lot tougher, but another bowl should be our team's basement. We need: *Polgar to step in a center, the same way Novitsky stepped in for O'Hagan. Or he/Jordan Johnson at guard, if the new JUCO center wins a starting spot. Otherwise the backup OL players have decent experience in the last 2 years of blowout wins. You just hope the blocking schemes of the new staff fit the zone blocking experience of the current players. *We have experienced possession and slot receivers, and Molinich is a beast blocking TE. So we need to uncover at least 1 speedster among the younger WR's and work in Tyler Stevens as a tall TE receiving option. *Adam Beck should be competitive at DB to replace Hill. DB's and LB's are experienced and strong MAC units. Rogers in for Wilson, different skills at DT but should flourish in the MAC. Depth players like Polizzi, Wolo, and Kyler Laing were sneaky productive when they got in last season so the D should be a strength.
