Wow thank you for the list.  The roster fluidity in college sports now is just so different.  I miss the old days when you would know a player from FR to SR years!  I always wonder how a player in this age identifies with an alma mater.

Did we sign another QB or sticking with spring group?

Quite a few new transfers announced via social media... Looks like Sports Illustrated ranked WIU as 20th best portal class. https://www.si.com/college/fcs/big-sky/fcs-football-top-20-post-spring-transfer-portal-class-rankings

Pretty impressive year recruiting (ranking wise) by new staff. #1 in the ...

Duncan 25 catches and 1 td
Denham 35 catches and 3 td (PSU)

probably what's happening to every college team in the country right now. Especially FCS. Look at how many players off the 2024 OVC/BS All Conference teams went in the portal ...

is there tailgating? I've seen vague updates on social media. Free parking like last year and free tickets? My neighbor said her granddaughter is playing in the band for the spring game. Would like to make the trip to see what team looks like. Intersted in new QB and defense!
