Re: Roster/Staff Updates

Good grief people, give the man a year or two . . . so many variables to what happend last year, this will be the first true test of what he and this coaching staff can do. DLo is not Cig. As much as some of you have a one year turn it completely around mentality, that is just not realistic for us ...

Re: Dowell Loggains and his recruiting staff are absolutely phenomenal.

The only reason there is a facade that stars matter is because they give high stars to the usual power programs that are in the playoffs every year based on size, offers, and stats. Indiana has proven so far that those 4-5 stars don't even matter if you got the right fits for your system, good coac...

Re: Portal time 25-26

DJ Burks to Tennessee.. interesting Was afraid this day was coming. Now they are raiding depth pieces at G5 to stock their 3 deep. I thought they would rely on high school recruiting and development but until there is a proper incentive, or disincentive structure in place, this is going to get wors...

Re: Dowell Loggains and his recruiting staff are absolutely phenomenal.

Stars matter at the 5 and upper 4 levels. More players from there go on to college and NFL success than anyone below them. After that it's more about buy in, the right fits and honestly some luck. I do like Dowell's philosophies on recruiting. Multi-sport athletes, team captains and fighting for th...

Not sure how much students pay for tickets but at that price, they are almost zeroing out the monetary scale. Six games, field level, behind the home bench.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

I think Justin Harper is a “good ole Catawba County boy” that played at Bandys. As a graduate of The South of Caldwell, myself, I dare say that I haven’t heard that term, Bandys, in about 15 years. Always good to hire local guys. I’d say to go see what Brad Hardee is up to but he’s a Physician now ...

Barnes and Dozier stand out as a surprise at not landing somewhere already.
Thought Dozier was heading to NC State? Barnes is shocking but you tail off the way he did and it creates questions. Would like to see him back another year, as well as Dozier. Development could help them.

Was Stringer the one that plowed through the Tennessee QB which should have been a game winning tackle but the fumble went through one of our guy's legs into a Tennessee player's hands for a TD?

I still remember Evans running back that kickoff return in Happy Valley. Commentators were saying "he is running away from the field". What an awesome play.
How about the bowl game run back?

Re: G6 playoff gaining momentum

Re: Lanorris Sellers is in Boone with Coach Dlo....

He's considered an NFL prospect even with his down year last year. If he left SC there would be plenty of cash thrown at him for beyond what we could afford. Honestly, I'd rather us run with and develop that 3 star dual threat qb we recruited than even try to bring this guy on for a single season i...
