never want to end the season with an L

It will be really interesting to see what that year 2 roster looks like, seems like the cupboard 'bout to be bare AF :yikes:

Kennesaw State cornerback Jerico Washington Jr. is the first player in program history to be named an All-American.

I dont see him on the list but it looks like your punter is?

[Captain Canada]

Got fucking punished.

I understand the context but that class must feel like a different planet away from your old USF/Miami classes

[YaBoyRobRoy]

tough end to the year, but still solid with 6 wins. Seeing only 5 commits at season's end scares me for my own dynasty, I'm used to having most of my board signed by that time but I fear I may be in a similar situation lol.

[redsox907]

Tough loss for sure. But a six win season without your guys is a solid building block

When you hit the portal screen and see 20+ players leaving don’t panic. There are better replacements available (hopefully).

At least that was my experience with CCU.

yeah middle of the game, it got away from us and then i played the younger guys the rest of the way

I'm really banking on a strong portal class. I was hoping we'd sign at least 10-12 HS prospects by this point and then get 15 or so transfers. not looking like that's going to happen.
