Think the bolded is incorrect. Fair enough on other points. I guess I should say nothing would really surprise me these days transfer wise.

Agree on Brockhoff. Think Anya stays for sure. Could see Warlick and/or Pikaar leaving too.

I’m gonna read WAY too far into Dotzler leaving and assume it means a Wes Enis commitment is coming soon. The overhaul continues!

Apparently lol. For every Jayson Tatum or Brad Beal, there’s a bunch of Fletchers, Nesbitts, Biedscheids, Mario McKinneys, Rameys, etc. Never know what would’ve happened if those type of players would stay home rather than take the biggest possible offer. I guess Carteare Gordon is a counterpoint to that, though.

That’s a name I completely forgot.

I’m not sure if it’s that they don’t care, or the core has just gotten too comfortable in their place in the team. Look no further than Weah getting sent off in Copa America, essentially knocking us out of the tournament. Then he immediately regains his place the second he is eligible. As @HoosierPal said, Sargent hasn’t scored for the national team since ‘Nam. Playing for the national team is a privilege, if the team isn’t gonna perform they should call up players that will. There’s no shortage of talented MLS youngsters who would kill for the chance.

anyone with a subscription able to summarize what is said here? Apparently he mentions SLU

Do either of the ISU transfers there have any additional eligibility?

IMO we need to be adding AT LEAST 5 transfers that can compete at an A10 level. At least 2 probably need to be considered “Stars” at this level, with the remaining three at least serviceable in a bench role. We can’t have the same issue with depth that we had this year.

So we now essentially have a salary cap/max contracts. Just need to find a way to make trades and college sports are officially professional! Let’s offer Robbie to Dayton for Letang, first round pick, and a player to be named later.

Would be silly to spend big money on Ford buyout, Schertz buyout and contract, only to go cheap on NIL. Then again, we do many silly things with Chris May steering the ship.

I think the point is if we can’t do better than Brockhoff in the portal, we are in big trouble. We should be able to get someone better than Brockhoff a month before the season starts. I think Schertz saw something in Killian he thought he could work with, and it obviously just didn’t happen. The only must-keeps on the roster are Avila and McCottry. Kellen is a keep if there’s reasonable expectation he could be healthy- I’m unfortunately not holding my breath… feel terrible for the kid that they can’t seem to figure it out. Schertz will keep Anya, even though I don’t think he’s a good fit for the system. Pikaar and Warlick need to have a sit down with Schertz and half a come to Jesus about what they need to improve on if they want to play at this level- they may stay, may leave. I don’t think we need to keep both since Pikaar doesn’t really play as a big. Basically, the only three I’m certain will be back are Avila, McCottry, and Anya. Add in the three freshman, and potentially we have 9 open scholarships.

Final thought of the night/season and I’ll try to make it a positive one: One thing I like about Schertz and this team is the willingness to take accountability, and stated desire to improve. I’m trusting that it’s genuine and not just lip-service, but regardless, it’s something we NEVER saw during the excuse-ridden Ford years. I like Josh Schertz as a person and a coach and I want him to be successful here. He’s got a lot of work to do though if we are expecting that success to come next season. Hopefully he’s up to the task.

But would he want to transfer down? (Blue font, sorta?)

Most years the computer is money. May need some recalibration after this season though.
