Huge victory for Walters. He’s been vocal about needing resources and now he’s focusing them wisely

 

[ghostoffatjack]

Yes

Now confirms why Kalt is leaving. He may want to play C somewhere.

But TBH, we need a line that can get a 1 yard push, every time. Scheme doesn't matter if you're weak in the trenches. Gus returning is a great start. But we need 8 portal OL because last year's line couldn't get the 1 yard when we needed it.

We need 5 portal OL but for two of them to be guys you pay for

We need 8. 2 guards with NIL. 4 others on scholarship. 2 walkon transfers.

I’d say one right tackle you pay for and a left guard. But yes If two are walk ons I like it

Welcome back Gus.You made my day with this decision.

It's interesting that this is news and such good news. I don't like what football has become and enjoyed it more when players committed to their more local teams, stayed there for the whole time, and player development mattered, not going out and buying a team.

Clearly the players aren't happy with the coaches...oh wait....

With all of the back and forth that goes on with this forum, let's all rally behind Gus and toss a little NIL his way!!!
CRW really needed this news.
Thanks Gus!
