Schick was granted another year of eligibility
"Everyone else's sucks too" recruiting, attrition, etc was the rallying cry for Fuente supporters. Yeah we have a bunch of guys leave but so does Duke. It's horseshit in any era. Call it what it is.. our whole OL just hit the portal.. who gives a fuck how many portal guys uva has?
Considering how in demand O Line is, do we really think this staff is going to be able to cobble together an equal line...especially with Chaplin putting it out there one of his reasons for looking is a perceived lack of development from this staff?
Come on now... it's only his 6th year
Looking at it from a total numbers standpoint is kind of silly....
It would be much more useful to identify how many were in the projected 2-Deep (and particularly projected starters).
One team losing 12 3rd stringers and 3 potential starters is waaay different than losing 15 players and having that ratio be 7:8.
Upgrading is borderline impossible with how much linemen cost in the portal though. And even if we upgrade at 3 starting positions (very big IF), the line will still have basically zero depth
I mean outside of Chaplin, we didn't have anyone good on the line. Replacing them isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's not like having everyone return this year helped us at all.
No, but he might have the Cornies

# | Hokies to play Minnesota in Duke's Mayo Bowl on January 3rd If I remember last year right, he allowed players that were entering the portal to play in the bowl game. But as for this year he hasn't made a comment yet
Yes teams we want to be like: FSU, Stanford and Pitt.
Lousiville has more NIL than we do and Brohm is a wizard on offense so I wouldn't be too worried about them
is it possible that a significant change to the college football landscape means that a "Fuente-era excuse" isn't actually an excuse any more? Seriously question. Because it can't be both that college football has changed to be unrecognizable from what it was a few years ago and that we as observers should still view it through the same lens as Spring 2021.
Secondary, OL, and most of the playmaking DL all looking to be near total-rebuilds. Not exactly ideal.
This could come unraveled completely. 2025 may be the end of Pry.
Our O Line depth right now (I'm being very generous and listing Johnny Garrett as a starter):
r-Sr - 1 reserve
r-Jr - 1 starter, 1 backup
r-So - 1 backup, 1 reserve
r-Fr - 3
Fr - 2
Total: 1 starter 2 backups 2 reserves. There was no plan for this. Gunnar Givens and Lance Williams would likely both start given the current roster. This is not something that can be fixed even with multiple plug and play portal transfers (which if they do exist will cost an incredible amount of money).
He apparently didn't like the running in the first week or two he was here. I don't care if he became an All American somewhere else, that is absolutely the kind of sh*t we don't need in the program.
I think we're up to 15 at this point. Phillips, Moore, and Chaplin hurt IMO, but a lot of the guys so far have been PWO or minimal contributors. I'm guessing the portal is going to be overflowing this year with the roster limitations coming.
Edit: I don't know if total number of transfers means much this year and quality losses are going to be more nuanced based on the variability of how rosters are constructed.
I think he would have done pretty Goode here.
The new norm. Probably consider anything less than 12-15 as a 'win'.
We are back to the excuses of the Fuente era I see. Fuck us.
Scratch B. Moore
Panic button pressed
Eh he was actually a backup on the depth chart all year. I think this is ma more significant loss than people realize
No you're absolutely right, as this is the new state of play. It was mostly pedantic on my part, and could have put the /s in the first line instead
My bad y'all, I hit the save instead of preview button way before I had the spreadsheet organized the way I wanted and then everyone in the house started yelling so I just slapped something together.
Edit: this is what was running through my head once I realized I hit the save button
