zigo230 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I was wondering if they are going to have to backfill some depth with FCS transfers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBinMD Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Corey Gross got an offer from Georgia Southern. I guess they are locked in on the UB portal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBinMD Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Chris King committed to Monmouth. I would call that a step down. Hopefully it’s a good spot for him and it’s closer to home. They were conference champs in 2019 & 2020. Edited January 16, 2022 by UBinMD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubgrad13 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I don’t know Chris king personal. But I am close friends with his older brother ( we both went to Ub - class of 2013 ) ! He got High offers from P5 conferences but wanted playing time so he went to UB so he can play ASAP. Also his family was comfortable with UB due to them being familiar with the school. At Monmouth he will be close to his family and most likely play right away. So I think this decision was best for him and his family. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think this decision was best for him and his family. Thanks for the insight. Hopefully it’s a good experience for him. For football though, for any decent program, you likely will not start as a freshman (you may get some decent PT). If he had researched the LL era (with whom he was recruited), they had a track record of player development with freshman not seeing the field a lot unless you were an absolute stud. I appreciate kids wanting to play right away, but HS football to D1 is a big step and sitting back, learning and listening can improve you leaps and bounds in the long run. I’m guessing with this decision he didn’t see himself on the 2-Deep with Coach Mo. All the best to him. I hope he makes his mark at Monmouth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Look for D’andre Greeley to commit. Juco DB out of San Francisco. 14th ranked juco player on 247. 1st team all American.

Dabulls Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Greeley would be a huge get, seemed to be a bit under recruited out of JUCO. Has a 3⭐️ 87 rating on 247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuchMany Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Interesting to see us becoming "Second Chance U" for a lot of these talented guys especially DBs. Excited to see one of our chart masters give us some visuals on where our roster stands 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

121Merrimac Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 14 hours ago, MuchMany said: … Excited to see … where our roster stands Me too! But isn’t it still a little soon? When does the final/normal signing period end? When will the spring roster be published? As long as I’m asking questions; what are peoples thoughts about the star ratings of incoming transfers? Their transfer rating is most current, but their high school rating is more comparable with the rest of the roster (and the rest of the conference, for that matter). Another consideration is that some players will only be rated one of those times, and not the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another consideration is that some players will only be rated one of those times, and not the other. February 2 is the signing day for 2022, so hopefully all of these commits sign on these days. I think both ratings have validity. The HS would definitely be comps to our current roster. The transfer ones are usually going to be a little lower because they didn't live up to their "potential" or haven't had the opportunity yet. I think most will have a chip on their shoulder to prove why they had their original value. I look forward to seeing how it all plays out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
