Three guys battling for the job.

Jake Wright still technically #1 on the depth chart which is fair because he was our QB1 second half of the year and acquired some playoff experience. No issue with it being his job to lose - I think that is a fair approach from coach Lee.

The other two guys fighting for the job are Seth Mouser, former 3 star UTEP/Juco transfer and Reggie Moody Jr.

Mouser is 6'6" and mobile and was the highest rated JUCO transfer in all of Division 3 according to 247 sports & AthLinkd database.

Reggie Moody is a 5'11 dual threat improviser from Red Oak, he was one of the best high school QB recruits I've seen us get in 5-10 years. Reminds me of Vernon Adams Jr a bit, if anyone remembers him from Eastern Washington/Oregon.

Looks like QB1 will be in good hands next season.. excited to see how it unfolds. 

Annnd there goes Moody:

Quote from: Ron Boerger on April 17, 2025, 04:14:28 PMI wish someone would do a study of how many players end up in the portal and end their careers / return to their original team / actually find a home elsewhere and at what level.

I don't know about where they end up athletically, but studies suggest that athletic transfers graduate at a lower rate than those who remain at their home institutions

QuoteThis freedom of movement has been widely hailed as a major victory for student-athletes from athletic, financial and ethical perspectives. But as a college professor, I would be remiss if I did not raise an important potential cost of this new era of free agency in college sports. What is the impact of the increase in transfers on graduation rates going to be?

Graduation success rates (or GSRs) have increased to record highs in recent year, including in the sports of football and men's basketball. The NCAA reports that . . . graduation rates for students transferring between four-year institutions is lower than that of students who remain at the same institution.

This makes sense. Few (if any) undergraduate athletes are entering the transfer portal for academic reasons. In addition to the decreased focus on academics in favor of athletics, the loss of credits during the transfer process, a poor fit between the student's academic ability and interests and the institutional offerings, the level and quality of academic advising and support, as well as differences and difficulty in assimilating to a new campus culture are all challenges faced by those who transfer. The addition of the potential pursuit of NIL dollars as a factor motivating the decision to transfer adds yet another layer of complexity.

Unless something has changed, you can generally only transfer so many hours as well. It was also a lot of work transferring some of my classes from Kettering to UMHB. Like, I had to find the syllabus for the class from 2 years before just so they would accept some of my classes.

There have been studies done at the d1/d2 level iirc. I want to say something like 50 percent of the kids who entered the portal never played another snap. I wish I had access to the portal to do some number crunching like that though!

Dang... Dorien Hill in the portal...

10k kids active in the portal... Kind of insane.

Quote from: Crubacker on April 16, 2025, 12:09:13 PMDamn, it's like rats leaving a sinking ship.  That's what, 3-4 starters that have left in the past 2-3 weeks?  WTH?

Gacayan has at least 10 D1 offers from what I've seen already...  A lot of the starters who have left have already landed at the D1 level. 

Edwin Lopez is in the portal too:

Kind of surprising how many guys have gone into the portal around the time spring ball started.

Gacayan into the portal.

Quote from: Etchglow on April 07, 2025, 03:35:29 PMUMHB schedule still not final.  Tickets won't go on sale until July :O

Does this mean the schedule won't be out until then? If so that's absurd.

Don't know, just got the email saying renewal starts 8 July, and public sales start the 28th.

UMHB schedule still not final.  Tickets won't go on sale until July :O

Thanks for the info!  Any knowledge if Renfro is coming back?  Saw him post on Coach Lee's hiring which makes me think he is but no clue...

Quote from: Crubacker on April 02, 2025, 04:38:36 PMWonder why he is leaving---that dude was a monster on the O-line!

Maybe because OL coach left?  Then the replacement left before he really started?  Only real thing I can think of. 

UMHB All Conference OL enters the portal

Quote from: Crubacker on March 24, 2025, 04:58:42 PMEtchglow--------------any updates to transfers or commits?

Honestly, been so busy with Lawyer stuff for dad I haven't really been keeping up.  Most recent transfer was Davonte Nephew who was 2nd team All-ASC at CB for Hardin-Simmons in 2022.  Something happened and he only played a couple of games in 2023 then transferred to TAMUK for 2024.  He didn't play there and committed to UMHB recently.
