Would think Boyer is in the mix as well to get a lot of PT for the running game

I believe Rusk is the #1 pass catching tight end and Arkin is the #1 blocking tight end. Boyer should play a lot.
Why do we not have a DB coach at this point for next year? Is this typical to not have a position coach in place for Spring ball?
Gibbs left due to medical reasons just before spring practices started. I think Bielema stated that he wanted to focus fully on the practices and then would put full focus on finding a coach

if he wasnt going to play because we had much better options, then its refreshing to
think our third stringers are going to a team that has a tradition for good o linemen.
is he.....walking on there?

This one isn't any tampering... he was a 3rd stringer & just not progressing. Seemingly maxed out athletically. Going home to walk on.

Assuring statements like this are great but we are already in high six-figures for defensive lineman that didn't even make all-conference lists. I'll wait until the portal is officially closed before we can celebrate players "staying".

yea.
can’t blame him for wanting to walk on there . close to home
I will be surprised if he gets any meaningful game time experience the next two years or three .
best wishes to him . he made the correct decision , imo.
I am admittedly so envious of their ability to spend $$. They pretty much pick whoever they want these days

Yeah, it really makes me sick. I really wish we would get a transfer here real soon.
Honestly kind of hope it works out would be a good story. We picked up some studs on the line, but that shouldn't cost him a shot at his dream.
Also landed the #1 HS recruit in MO tonight too. Can't cancel that series fast enough
They have momentum, that’s for sure.
And word has gotten out.
My biggest hope is somehow, someway they have to renege on a bunch of these deals due to lack of funds and they have a huge reputation hit and mass exodus.
Unfortunately I’m not holding my breath for such luck.

(Actually I am not that panicked, I just wanted to use it. Good news: I was like this in 2023 basketball offseason and the team turned out ok.)
