skrabukes Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I hate to highjack the seemingly constant updates of players entering the portal/receiving offers from the portal, but this is out of control with no end in sight. The general redshirt of a freshman followed by working their way up the line and playing for four years after it at UB seems like something that is going to become few and far between now. I, for one, am not a fan of this one bit. There's really no point in redshirting a guy in hopes of adding future value to your team, since that guy will likely be gone if he's as good as you hope he'd be by the end of his college career. May as well just burn up everyone's years if they can add even the most limited value to your team and only worry about one year at a time, versus a 4-5 year timeline. At least that's my thought now anyway. Wild, wild, west, here we are! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little incentive to bring on “project” type players because any glimpse of promise will send them scurrying away. It’s a crazy setup and I fear it will doom mid Major programs in the next 5-10 years. Will be hard to build consistent winning programs.

Long term I will think it will be a was for the non-Power 5 conferences. Just as there will be players moving up in levels, there will be players moving down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBinMD Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Any word if there will be anything for early signing day this week or will we just see an update sometime with who actually put their name on the paper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, just the release with coaching statements on the initial class. So far nothing announced differently from Coach Mo. Some non-UB-related portal names have verbally committed to new schools, so I'd love to see us announce our own mid-year enrolled players, too.

And I didn't feel it was a recruiting miss for us. Today, after seeing his small sample size of play for Rutgers..not bad! Sure Cole, come home and win this job! Offered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChubbyHubby Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Do we have any idea as to how many of our players that went into the portal, have signed with other schools? Just wondering if some may withdraw their names from the portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the early signing is passing, the coaches will be able to see what holes are left open that they may need to get transfers to fill. Tim Terry is definitely gone, he sent his farewell tweet. Any word if James Patterson is coming back next season? He wasn't part of the senior farewell, so wasn't sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interested if these were conversations with the current staff about their future roles or the student-athletes not buying into the new system. Both should have their 4 years. I think Washington got most of his stats in the Wagner game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeyG Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 This is just an unbelievable number of kids jumping ship. Does Kansas have that many scholarships open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrabukes Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Up to 14 guys as of today, by far the most in the MAC as of now. Why even have signings anymore, just let everyone be a free agent year after year. Classee evidently are an afterthought and everyone's credits must just transfer over from school to school.

ChubbyHubby Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Pretty sure the number the jumped ship was quite a bit higher after LL's first Spring practice. It's just not unusual after a coaching change. It's just that Mo didn't have the luxury of a Spring practice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
