64 new members of the football team since December. I think we can all now agree that this is clearly DLo's team and his players. We replaced enough players in a month to field a FCS team. This on top of the 53 we added last year. A little bit insane if you ask me.
Not sustainable. I don't envy any of these coaches/staff.
If anyone knows what sustainable is; Appalachian does. https://sd.appstate.edu/

Out of our 41 outgoing transfers, 8 moved up (if you count Rutgers as moving up).

When you say move up, are you saying made more money or went to p4?? I don't know, but I bet Scroggs got more money.

Not money related, meaning moving to P4, peer P5’s, or moved down a level. And some of the P4’s are not good.

I wonder how many were “fired” vs had a chance to return and entered in the portal to see what was out there and then found out.

Per 247, these are the App guys that have not landed anywhere, yet: Khalifa Keith, Jose Leon, Chris Lawson Jr, Denell Nix Jr, Mitch Lake. In addition to those guys, 11 went to lower level schools and 12 went to peer G5 teams, but 2 to FIU and 1 to Bowling Green could be considered a step down as well.

I am surprised at nix after he visited Ok state and OK. Probably a situation with bad advice.

So how’s that “revenue sharing” going to work?

That's not an official Athletic Dept. graphic. He had someone make that and they chose to use that old logo
