The Bobcats start spring practices next week. I spoke with the reigning @MACSports Coach of the Year @CoachAlbin about bounce, health, practice, goals, depth, the portal & much more. https://twitter.com/RussEisenstein/status/163131213895736...

Not good That might explain why he didn't jump in the portal. He was the one player I was FOR SURE we would lose. BTC has pointed out that most players in the portal are transferring down. They tend to be players who are good, but not starters, and who want to be starters. That would include players like Blauser. A minority are like Vakos, who are starters wanting to play in a BCS conference. Vakos still has me puzzled though. A kicker can be drafted from any level, as it's easy to evaluate his performance independently of the conference. Wisconsin only attempts about half the FG, and XP as Ohio, so, even if he wins the kicking job, he will kick a lot less next year, and winning the job is no lock, as the existing Wisconsin kicker made nearly 80% of his FG attempts last year, and all of his XP. I wish him well, in his future endeavors, though, and appreciate the fine job he did for Ohio last year. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top M.D.W.S.T General User Member Since: 12/23/2021 Post Count: 2,273 Status: Offline     RE: Coach Albin Spring Update    Posted: 3/3/2023 12:01:46 PM  L.C. wrote: M.D.W.S.T wrote: colobobcat66 wrote: I had missed the Bangura shoulder surgery before this.

Jamison Collier - Ohio to E.TENNESSEE STATE Tyler Mullins - Ohio to UT MARTIN CJ Hankins - LB Ohio to Siena Heights Ches Jackson - OL - Colorado St to Ohio Vakos is the first really good player I recall leaving, but recall a number of really good players coming to Ohio from various P5 teams, and a number of Ohio players moving down and doing well, such as Quinton Maxwell to Indiana University. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top SBH General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Post Count: 3,942 Status: Offline     RE: Coach Albin Spring Update    Posted: 3/3/2023 10:42:13 PM  OhioCatFan wrote: BillyTheCat wrote: M.D.W.S.T wrote: L.C. wrote: M.D.W.S.T wrote: colobobcat66 wrote: I had missed the Bangura shoulder surgery before this.

Of course, this is a tiny sample size but if you add the 5 plus McCracken and Jackson to the mix it’s 7 up or sideways and 7 down. Doesn’t support the most down theory but a very small sample size.

G5 probably makes out better because they can pick up experience at positions of need. Back in the transfer portal thread I posted this anlaysis which lends to the idea that... 1) P5 programs have few G5 players move up and a lot more move down to G5/FCS. 2) G5 pick up more P5 players moving down than what go the other direction. There is playing time like TA mentioned as a reason for moving down but my guess also grades can have something to do with it particularly those going FCS/DII where the academics usually are easier.

Haven’t seen many stories coming out of spring practices from the athletics department. Here is one I saw that focuses on the tight ends. Really strong position group with everyone coming back. Kacmarek and Foster might be two of the best all-around TEs in the conference. Burton and Butler have played a ton of snaps. And add in a Youngstown transfer and the position looks really strong. Would love to see more content like this from the athletics department like maybe regular updates on each position for those of us who live out of state.
