That is pretty amazing that ACU ended up #4 in this ranking. I love it.

Listening to Reese Moore, if I remember he played last year at 290-295. If he added 30 lbs, then he should be at around 320. Quite a difference from 275 two years ago.

One of two from the WAC (Jeremiah Walker - CB from SFA). Three made it from the ASUN (the QB from Eastern Ky and two OT (EKU and Findlay). Congrats Reese!

Noticed that Ethan Taite is on the newest roster. Didn't he have his name in the transfer portal?

Watching some film tonight waiting for info on report day. We got some players from the transfer portal. Marcayll Jones, Waydale Jones, Jordan Mukes, Jordan Vaughn and Kenton Wilhoit look to be top notch additions to a team that had lots of quality returners. And those are just 5 that I watched tonight. I can't wait to see if Syncere Massey, Jordan Butler, Kayode Odalele firm up our DL and if Carson Walker can get in the OL rotation. And there still is Sunday at RB and Boykins at WR and Hawkins at QB. We really did add some transfer quality. There's going to be some pretty good competition at lots of positions. Stirring the purple kool-ade.

No Cats made any of the FCS All-America teams. I'm not sure if that is just a result of a lot of unknowns on our squad or we are that far off the radar. Transfers don't always bring votes. We have lots of talent, but so do the other UAC and FCS teams. I am with the rest of you that think this will be an interesting year. I also know it's an uphill battle. I am looking to see how well this roster comes together in the coming weeks.

Better to be awarded after the year than before. Preseason is always hard to predict. Postseason is what counts. I think we will surprise. I notice that there are no players listed from North Dakota State on the 1st team. Has the mantle been passed to South Dakota State?

Trying to figure out the pre season bromance with Central Arkansas. They went 5-6 last year (?). Doesn’t look like they added any transfer portal help although a couple of the JUCOs that they signed could be good. All of a sudden they are a top 10 team with a half dozen all Americans. Whaaaaat?
Having said that snarky comment, they will be very good and a Wildcat win on the (ugly) stripes will be HUGE.
If there are 2 kickers better than SFA’s Campos, I’ll be shocked.

By the way, talked to my friend who is now on the staff at Liberty U. and asked about Chike Nwankwo. He said Chike is doing well, will definitely be on special teams and may make the 2-deep at LB. Also said, he is awed by the facilities at Liberty. Good luck to him this year.

I kinda wondered the same thing, but feel like you do. We still know they will be good and beating them on the stripes is tough. I still remember sitting there in the humidity and watching them come back in the 4th a few years ago.

I see we just added another punter in Hugo Nash a transfer freshman from Australia. Any other info on him Mavsman? He signed with James Madison last year to take the place of their all-conference 2nd team punter who was also from Australia. This seems to be an exciting addition. Rugby style kicker for windy west Texas.
