Football Roster Updates Before Signing Day

So, tomorrow is signing day.  Nothing like the off-season for what has become the silliest season of all--roster re-build year in college football.

Let's start with the roster before there are any portal moves.  BG had an "old team," and it shows.  The Falcons lose a lot of talent on offense, and for this purpose I have Fannin and Stewart still on the roster--Fannin is likely to leave....not sure about Stewart.  But the defense is decimated.  17 contributing players will no longer have eligibility.  There are young players on the next level, but this is a huge amount of talent we need to replace.

The vision--the idea that there would be a self-replacing wave of players--is going to be even more difficult to achieve in today's world.  At least half of those 17 players were transfers.

From the portal, BG has three players who have entered, none of them real contributors.  One is Jaylon Tillman, the Grand Valley transfer, who might have contributed but left the roster early in the year and is likely to be part of the promised LoefflerRant.

Also, Chris Edmonds, a RB from Toledo Central Catholic, who has carried three times. Also, OLB Alijah Williams who made one tackle against Fordham.

The known players who have verballed are listed in the left sidebar for the blog.  Let the silly season begin.
