Star city represent

A little worried that heā€™s not quite the Jā€™Mari style workhorse but will always love a Salem 4-star suiting up for the hoos

My neighbor is a die hard TN fan and he said he can be that for us. Thinks he would feast in the ACC.

Thinks he much better suited for a pro style offense

Gotta disagree here. You want some continuity with the guys youā€™re bringing in. Provided great depth.

Now one less deep at the position and have to fill in with another portal target.

This is not what Iā€™ve heard and Iā€™ll stick with that. I expect to see a QB commitment pretty early in this window. A lot of moving parts to see which one that might be but I think weā€™ll know soon.

More tough news for the defense. Was looking forward to Osborne and Marcellus next year

Mercenaries. Donā€™t get attached. Glorified situationships.

Ah, that one sucks.

New Mexico State DL Ezra Christensen will be visiting. Had 6 sacks this year after transferring in from Fresno State. Holmes probably has a relationship here?

Ugh I know it was a bad situation, but I donā€™t really want much to do with Chiles. I view him as a downgrade from Chandler.

Sounds like Nebraska is getting Minchey though.

Chiles at least seems very well liked/respected and could fill the leadership void without Chandler. Multi-year team captain even as underclassman. If heā€™s behind a monster OL, Iā€™d be supportive. Clearly he still has plenty of untapped talent.

Seems similar mold to AC with more physical upside

Iā€™m skepticalā€¦ Staff hasnā€™t shown a ton of QB developmental chops. This goes for Minchey and Chiles. I donā€™t want us in the position of having to build a guy up, I want someone ready to go like Chandler was.

At least Minchey has multiple years left. Chiles seems both unready AND only has 1 year. Unless they really really like one of the young QBs and just want one more year of seasoning on them (and have a good sense they can hold on to him which Iā€™m not sure is realistic for anyone these days), Iā€™d much prefer Minchey.

Side note: is there some link with Jonathan Smith and Elliott/Clemson that isnā€™t obvious? Odd that DJU went to Oregon State with him and Elliott seems to be the favorite for Chiles.

They run similar offenses as far as I can tell which may be the connection.

As of a couple of weeks ago we were favorites to land Christian Ellis, a safety from VPI (out of Jacksonville, Fla.) who entered the portal after Pry got canned.

And I hear weā€™re in good shape for a freshman CB at Michigan State, Aydan West, whoā€™s from Maryland and had originally committed to Pry and VPI before going to East Lansing.

I wonder how many kids are salary dumps either because they didnā€™t produce or are asking for too much in their next season?

Iā€™d be surprised if we took either of those guys. Neither really did anything this last season. Also believe 247 said Ellis didnā€™t clear admissions.
