I'm actually impressed w this too. Assume he was a walk on at both Furman and now TCU but still.The Jackal wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 3:25 pmToo bad.
Of course, I'm slightly impressed that Furman is targeting Texas QBs that TCU is also wanting.
Roster update
Quite a reach there, I mean I guess it's something TCU let him walk on? I'm not really sure how this is impressive at all, just looks like someone that decided he'd rather be closer to home, etc.The Jackal wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 3:25 pmToo bad.

What youwouldknow said. You can ask to walk on anywhere. Doesn't mean they recruited him or wanted him.youwouldno wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 10:28 amQuite a reach there, I mean I guess it's something TCU let him walk on?

It you note the pattern over the last several years, recruits who are announced via press release can pretty much be identified as scholarship signees (whether full, or not, only the coaches know). Players who are added to the roster in the months after signing date (minus their own press release) are walk-ons, and their attrition rate appears to be pretty high, as expected. I think it's safe to say Carter Bir was most definitely a walkon who I venture would never have been in the QB battle picture. So he wants to be a walkon or water boy at TCU? Good for him. No great loss for Furman, it appears.
Of course, at the FCS level, with a reduced number of scholarships, walk-ons matter.Yadkin wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 10:44 amIt you note the pattern over the last several years, recruits who are announced via press release can pretty much be identified as scholarship signees (whether full, or not, only the coaches know).

Some Roster updates: OL Caleb Auer (who started a few games last year in Godwin's absence) is now listed as a Senior. Same for OL Cody Wyatt.
Kroeber is one of six coming to my house tonight for dinner. Maybe I should buy some more beef!
Another note on Auer is that he has now made the transition to DL....Don’t know if someone has mentioned that already or not.
Reading between the lines, Hendrix must feel comfortable with where we are depth wise on the offensive line.
You can never have enough big bodies to throw in the middle of a defense.
We all know D-Line is the last stop before the bus stop, right? JK...old OL joke that I LOVE to turn around.The Jackal wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 7:48 amReading between the lines, Hendrix must feel comfortable with where we are depth wise on the offensive line.

Not that you were saying this in a negative way at all, but Auer is more than a “big body.” He was a TE in HS & I think he played some LB too. He had 3 FBS offers coming out of a top program in GA, where his Dad, a former P5 College Player was an Asst Coach. So, he’s smart, athletic, and versatile...and OBVIOUSLY, a TEAM FIRST guy. He’s changed from TE to OL and now to DL...which just may be the spot where he can contribute the most. As someone noted, looks like his eligibility status has changed to SR, so this is, most likely, his ‘last ride.’ Hoping for a HUGE year for him!!!
FUBeAR always pulls extra hard for the TEAM FIRST guys that overcome position changes & other adversities to close out their college careers with a flourish.
GO #72!!!

Good points, FuBEAR...I didn’t realize Auer was that big until I saw him in the scrimmage on Saturday...I think he can be a solid addition to the DL...With Lawrence now officially having to give up football due to concussion protocol, this move makes a lot of sense.
Whoa. What is this about Landon Lawrence? He played great on Saturday.
He is still on the roster. When did this happen?soconjohn wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 6:44 pmGood points, FuBEAR...I didn’t realize Auer was that big until I saw him in the scrimmage on Saturday...I think he can be a solid addition to the DL...With Lawrence now officially having to give up football due to concussion protocol, this move makes a lot of sense.
I’m sure he meant London Lewis.
It can be confusing.
