We were younger than every ACC team we faced last year. Some had hit the transfer portal aggressively and were loaded with 4 and 5 year players.

@GojiraCane the great Brian Balom era ended after last season

I knew Luka Gilbert was gonna be a beast, guy comes in with 3 years experience, it must be the size (pause)

 

[UnitedCanedom]

AZ Thomas declared for the draft. And Earl Little got moved to safety

@GojiraCane

Just a couple of things from the roster, WR Isiah Horton is out Safety Isiah Thomas transferred out and you listed Demetrius campbell twice once as an OL and once at corner so you would need to remove him from corner and Balom is out
