Over the years I've lamented that we didn't carry enough running backs on our roster to be really competitive. Now we have 7 on the roster who look like they can play which makes me happy. This alone says to me that this staff has more of a D1 mindset about how many roster spots each position should have. I'm anxious for spring football to start so we can start getting reports about where our newcomers fit in. I'm especially anxious (in a good way) to hear about Hunter Loyd. Unless Mansell figures out his accuracy problems, Loyd may be the crucial link to our improvement. We still have some glaring position challenges but we're getting there.

I wonder if Thielen would go back to DL.

Yes, I've wondered that too. Do we have enough depth on the OL yet? Would Thielen's presence on the DL really strengthen that position? It would give us more numbers but I see Thielen in the Morgan, Shultz category as good, not great. He's certainly put on weight since his time on the DL, so yes, he might make a difference. (I'm not counting on Titre making a difference whether or not he's on the team come September). It will be interesting to see what happens in this regard. After spring football, I'd assume more DT's will appear on the portal. Sure would like for us to pick up a difference maker or two at DT.

I expect a good battle between Anderson and Loyd.

What should we be looking for football wise until spring practice starts? Will a DL coach be named? Offers to transfers and JUCO players?

Maybe Patterson will coach DL?

I don't know how critical a DL coach is. Just know we need a solid DL to be defensively competitive. In my opinion we haven't had that in a while and we've not picked up any DT's for next year yet.

We’ve even had separate coaches for DT and DE in the past. I’d say a DL coach is critical and I don’t think Patterson should be focused on coaching position groups.

Are Kobe Clark and Greg Green on the roster? If yes, does that mean that they have removed themselves from the portal? Exactly how does a player "get out" of the portal? Doesn't the head coach get to decide whether he wants the player to stay?

Yes, they are on the roster. No, it does not mean that they are "officially" back with the team. Green is and is out of the portal. It is my understanding that K. Clark is still in.
When a player says he is entering the portal, a school has 2 days to cooperate. Once the school does, that player is entered into a database that we the public cannot see. If a player wants out of the portal, they let their current school know that they are staying and then are taken out of the database
Not sure I understand your last question. A head coach can want a player to stay, but it doesn't mean that player will. Also, for a lot of schools, if a player hits the portal, that original school is done with them

Again, I ask, any idea when spring practices start?
