Notes

Live Team Notes

Vibes: Tired of Riley, high on roster/crootin adds

HC Riley running short on time & excuses

DL is CFB's most exp'd. 6 starters back (3 portals)

Patterson new DC (Lynn to PSU) interesting hire

QB Maiava returns, feels underrated. Depth big ?

RBs Miller & Jordan back w very talent Fr class

WR only Hines, Anderson (NC St) & depth. Fr ready?

OL has exp but avg grades at best. Must improve

LBs avg but exp'd. Bryant (Wash) good add

#1 croot class TY, RB, WR, Def needs would help
