Any Mount fans with insight as to if Elijah Farrington and Kevin Hamilton plan to stay or test the portal? Not sure either one would go to UC, unless the NIL $$ is too much to pass up (even for a walk-on). Vaden was a bit of a surprise as the first to follow Fuline.

Et tu, Mike?

Congrats to Vaden.  Happy for him.  He deserves this after how hard he's worked to get better each year.  Not as happy for the 26-27 Raiders though.

Saw a few pics on social from Mount's photo day.  Returning guys who played a lot that I noticed in them were Farrington, Hamilton, Taylor, Weekley and Dunbar (I'm pretty sure it was him).  Also saw Knight, Romigh, Rodriguez, Braylon Johnson and Zach Davis.  Curious to see about incoming transfers and freshmen, but considering that we knew Casenhiser and Vaden transferred this is best case scenario for retention from last year.

Mount was picked as the favorite in the preseason coaches poll.  Not sure what's going on with Etta and Berg.  That surprised me, but the coaches know far more than I do obviously.  Taking a quick look at the All-OAC teams from last year it's safe to say that we're going to see some new names filling up the box scores.  Farrington is the lone returning 1st teamer in the conference.
