Notes

Live Team Notes

Vibes: Uneasy, '25 a disaster but '24 was great

Added 4 P4 starters on Def was big need

QB Angeli back, LY a disaster after he went down

Added QB Odom from Kenn St as a good backup

RB Miller (Jax St) big add. Depth thin and inexp'd

WR has lots of ? Weaver (M-OH) a good add

OL is a mess of this looks really bad. Woof

DL also a big ? Adeleye (UNLV) a big add, DT ?

LBs have exp with 2 portal starters. Improved

CBs look better w/ Ward (WKU) added. S as well
