Sioux Falls? Is this a high school player?

If not might as well start raiding Drake and Grand View.

Been a tough portal season for you hasn't it? Glad we finally got one worth complaining about.

No, just never heard of Sioux Falls. Is this an actual college?

That includes the recruiting class though correct? So before this all happened we had 22 schollie kids in the recruiting class and not 51 players in the portal. Our current class appears to have 21 kids and we've got 28 portal guys. The 2026 class numbers are lining up but we're still 23 short of the portal entries, correct? In other words we had 51 outgoing portal guys and a slug of decommits. So the total number needed is about 70.

According to the first post in this thread, 54 outgoing players, 48 incoming (27 transfers / 21 commits). Add the 17 staying, & we're currently at 65 on the roster, with another 10-15 that haven't said whether they're staying or going. So if you're looking to get to 105, I'd imagine we're anywhere from 25-40 short at this point?

I imagine the quote you refer to is the final paragraph in his ESPN interview: https://www.espn.com/college-footba...o-becht-transfers-penn-state-best-opportunity

“He also said he was excited to see his head coach, Campbell, in a new place. He said that they strived to win the national title at Iowa State, but it was a hard environment to compete at those highest levels.

‘We were listening to him talk yesterday, and something about him changed,’ Becht said. ‘He's got the resources and people behind him and a program behind him to do what he wants to do -- compete for a national championship.’"

No, just never heard of Sioux Falls. Is this an actual college?

Yes, University of Sioux Falls. Kalen DeBoer coached there in the 2000's.

We have 51 guys in the portal. Doesn't it stand to reason we are needing 51 guys to replace them? We have 28 so far.

I can see 51 more offensive lineman committing! (I'm 90% joking)

It literally says D2 in the tweet

Why don’t you go **** yourself? Your shtick is old.

Would be very encouraging if we’re competitive in the league and we see signs of a cultured program with solid coaching and the team improves throughout the year.

Improving throughout the year is what I'm looking for more than anything.

Didn't Jimmy already take the SDSU guys with talent with him to Wazzu? I would think that anyone who was left behind at SDSU surely wouldn't be Big 12 quality if Jimmy didn't think they could hack it at the G5 level either.

He did take a decent amount to Wazzu. I was mainly thinking of guys that were freshmen & sophs when he left and not quite P4 ready, but have developed more towards being P4 guys... which he had prior relationships with.

The Jacks were pretty formidable early on in 2025, but were ravaged by injuries and barely made the playoffs. I didn't follow them closely but they had a really good QB. Too many injuries by midseason to get a good read on the talent level. 2025 was also probably a hangover season for them to regroup after a bunch left for Wazzu.

Whatever you’re into just make sure it has a flared base please and thank you

This either represents the best or the worst humanity has to offer.

I know where I stand on the issue....

We're running a wildcat with 10 offensive linemen

We only need 15-17 more to be up to an 85 person roster.

He also won a couple of national titles there when they were nais before going d2

He's a hawk fan so he isn't smart enough to figure that out

We can get to 105 if we want.
