OK, I'm drinking the coolaid now...

Lucas will add depth and talent to an already deep db room. He could legit play safety or nickel. That one addition would be like adding three guys to the room.
Lucas would be great. We would be done at DB.

Still need a starting-caliber LB, in my opinion.

And it might not be a bad idea to get an edge guy. I think we roll with Blay and the young guys along the rest of the line, though.

Offensively, you need 1 really good WR to play on the outside and a slot guy to replace X.

A RB for depth would be ideal as well.

Am I in the ballpark?

We still need key players to make me feel better. The roster still needs work. I do think we add some heavy hitters after spring.
Do kids that end up transferring during the spring usually suit up for spring ball at their respective schools or do they traditionally sit it out?
 
Maaaan, you ain’t never lied, OP. A couple weeks ago I was legit depressed about rolling into 2025 with Emory at QB and Guidry as DC. Now, at least, we have hope and that’s all we can ask for. If Beck heals up 100% from his injury I have complete confidence he’s good enough to get us to the playoff. Regarding Hetherman, the truth is none of us really know. He could be awful or insanely good, but I do like the hire. One thing’s for sure - he can’t be any worse than Guidry. I’m all aboard the off-season hype train for the 20th year in a row…let’s ride 😂.

I was thinking 1 more DT would be on my list of needs.
Preferably a lane-clogging run stuffer. I really wanted that kid Silver from Kentucky, but it sounds like we didn’t really pursue him that hard? Regarding WR, there’s a bunch of rumors floating around that Ryan Williams(Bama) could become available in the spring window. That could just be speculation or throwing stuff at a wall to see what sticks, but I do think an elite receiver on that level will become available during spring. When that happens, we need to pounce.
 
All the mopes about to shift the goalposts harder than you've ever seen.

Constantly doubting Mario, and we end up with:

- a top of the line Portal QB back to back,
- a top DC hire
- completely flipped the db room just about as well as anyone could have hoped for especially when/if we land Xavier Lucas.
- Demoted y'alls baba yaga Dennis Smith and replaced him with someone well respected and brought another guy under him to hopefully continue the poly connections.

Literally we need the best WR available from now to spring, and maybe a couple more pieces and let the DC bring in some guys he trusts (coach and players)
All these moves convinced me Mario reads CIS

Happy to see Mario fixing all his own failures.
 
This is looking like a great off season which would build upon this season.
We can’t afford to take a gamble & risk a step backwards. Dude has this program & university going all in on making us a contending team annually. & Mario killing stigmas about him in real time. “QB killer” “stubborn & meddles too much on O”. Spring window talent acquisition about to be interesting. We got a program invested, Sunshine & honeybuns as destination.

I feel like JoJo is going to fill one of the WR roles. Still wouldn’t mind adding one more starting caliber receiver tho.

DT is interesting to me. Felt like we struggled there outside of Barrow. We replaced Barrow with Blay. Which is probably a lateral move. We don’t seem to concerned about it tho. They must be expecting big things from Scott this year.
 
I agree. Most will hang you for the 1 RB and will say, we have mark Fletcher. I will say Mark Fletcher shouldn't be our #2 RB if we're serious.
on top of this not making sense because Fletcher is RB1, it's also one of the dumbest things I've seen on here in a while and that's saying something after going through the portal QB thread

You had to know they were waiting out the playoff re QB, hoss. Whether that was Ewers or Beck.
 
2 weeks ago we were a 5-7 win team at best. Now there is hope.
I think if our new DC can get our D front to apply themselves and take ownership of there positions we could pretty good .

New DC will have monitor them closely if they come in OBESE and slow then they already made their own decisions and I’d bump up everyone a notch .

The season never ends they should be training now , report in spring in shape to constantly improve like X did ready to play and compete.

I’m more worried about us being weak up front again with this bunch like children they must be monitored , we don’t have the time to parent them to do there jobs.

The new DC will pick up on this immediately and call them in once then next msn up front.
 
I’m not drinking the kool aide but I’m certainly looking at it.

Yea, I don’t know how anyone could have watched that second half by Emory in that bowl game and confidently thought, “THIS is who we want leading us in 2025.” I like the kid, as a person, but this is business…nothing personal. After 20+ years of disappointment we don’t have time to be worried about hurting someone’s feelings.
