Sucks on Larry in portal.  Doesn't seem very smart to leave Herman especially if its for fcs

I hope we can figure out an NiL deal to keep him here. Would be a devestating loss for us

Not Larry :( Best of luck to him, I hope he finds a suitable landing spot

Yes, and he praised Dearmon multiple times in interviews.

on a side note 3rd string FAU QB TJ Smith left as well, without fanfare. He's already committed to Dearmon.

So we have:

Johnson Jr
Rucker
Starks

That's it.

Ben Ballard as a walk on also?

Yes, technically…and it's PWO.

Go ahead and add him in as good measure.

 

The Larry loss hurts but at least we still have Mobley and Ford. Bigger question mark is QB. MJJ likely the front runner at the moment I would imagine

The school can not offer anything. People withy money who root for FAU need to get their check books out.

He is not going to go FCS.

These kinds of losses should not be a surprise when there is a coaching change. You need to take the bad with the good. Coach Herman will bring in players, hopefully good ones.

Running back should be one of the easier positions to recruit or replace. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else steps in and excels right away. What really separates the great teams especially at the G5 level are the linemen. After that it’s the QB. I am least concerned about the ability to get good skill position players here in Florida.
