Changes I detected listed below (may not have caught everything.) Some of the transfers in are enrolled, but not all. Several of the freshmen are listed and so must be early enrollees. Also listed are Garrett and Peart from last year's class. Only one surprise on the loss side, in OL Andrew Feiertag.

As we know, need to completely replace the Offensive line and almost all of the defensive backfield.

You beat me to it. I was going to do same thing. Glad to see Osborne enrolled.

Bottom-line: we could have had greater losses. Yes, as suspected, Peart was grey-shirting. This is a huge addition for UT. Feels like a recruiting gift/win when in reality we already had him in the ranks. I think this works to UT's advantage long term.

A very talented roster for 2024. Future is strong. RB & DB's are weak areas as we all know.

Dan Bolden is back. Year 6 I think. His return is a major plus for the D. Hook's return is great news as well. Maxen is THE MAN in UT's secondary for 2024. UT will promote the hell out of him for Jim Thorpe Award.

I'll do a scholarship count in the next few days to see where we are relative to possibility of grabbing a few additional spring portal players. Like a good RB...think Koback or Boone!

Osborne will need passing development similar to DF. The sooner his development starts the better. KO can be a huge star at UT. Think Finn on steroids.

As I've stated before on a separate thread (2024 recruiting) there are just too damn many WR's on the roster. No less than 6 need to go to get proper roster position balance. Expect lots of outgoing portal WR's in the spring. We need to drop WR's and add RB's. Major imbalance. I have to believe the staff is all over this situation as well.

Go Rockets!

At first glance it looks like completely rebuilt OL is the greatest issue...one team was able to address going into 2023 and make a strength---but will need to do same again for 2024..as without a solid OL this team will not get back to MACC

I agree... I sort of missed that in my areas of improvement comment.

OL loses all 5 starters. That's as big a rebuild as possible. Hope Tucker practices scrambling this summer. He'll probably get plenty of that when Fall practice starts. I have no idea who will win starting assignments. I would believe Spoth and Fouty have inside tracks for 2 guard positions.

OL Tanner Wigand no longer on the roster.

Also, although S Chris Gales is still listed on the roster, I see social media posts saying he has committed to Albany.

Not yet added but is on his way to UT is D2 Hillsdale College transfer 6'6" 240 lb. WR Sam Lee. Team's leading receiver as a true sophomore. Was a big time receiving threat at tight end for Toledo Central Catholic. First team All-Ohio. Under recruited due to the extra Covid year and transfer portal. But through the transfer portal, has proven himself and received multiple D1 offers.

We have 7 tight ends on the roster, five of which are freshmen or sophomores. I'd love to see some 2 tight end sets, but these numbers seem imbalanced. I agree that we need more running backs.

WAY WAY TOO MANY WR's & TE's. Not enough RB's and after this year DT will be thin. Like to see 2 more quality RB's (spring portal??????) and 1 or 2 more DT's and 2 DB/S/CB.

Just way too many WR's. Never seen so damn many. TE's too.

Tanner was on 2 deep much of last year and got snaps. I thought he had 2 solid years ahead of him. I don't see him in portal and didn't think he was injured. Tired of football? I sure get that.

Go Rockets!

I guess this answers the question as to whether or not Long and Rosi would use their extra year of eligibility. Both had RS year, Covid year, and Medical RS year. Would have been year #7 if they came back. Both were on the roster in 2018 - one year after Woodside led the Rockets to their MAC championship. To make it seem even longer ago, Devontae Johnson was also on that roster that year in 2018

Man oh man was Micah Kelly a miss by the rating services. I remember being so excited when he committed and, yet, he ends up playing in FCS by the end.

Moving forward, I think the big bodies are going to be a roster composition issue for most of the schools not in the Top 15-20 money-wise. All of the good ones will end up their because they'll be willing to pay top dollar, and anyone who doesn't stick is going to come down a level with no experience or development.

Bearcat - we agree. The lines win the games.. still. That has been the separation between the SEC and everyone else for last 20 years and lately UM has captured the formula. The top 12 playoff teams are open to a limited few $$ wise. Can Toledo get in as top G5??? Once again - we need much better line play. I think our last great combo on D & O lines was 2015. That team was loaded but didn't win division....uggh.

In an interview a while back, Candle talked about the effect that 7-on-7 football has had on the game, as it has become so pervasive in youth football these days. Given that 6 of the 7 spots are skill positions, every kid wants to be one of those, and there is no room to develop lineman. So he said that there is an overabundance of WR-types and it's much easier to find an under-recruited or underrated gem at those positions than it is to find a lineman. I believe he used Devon Maddox as an example there.

I am guessing that you will see a number of the players listed as WR or TE be moved to other postions at some point. As I recall, Jacquez Stuart was recruited as a WR, for example, so someone else could move to the RB room. And there are lots of spots up for grabs in the defensive backfield. Avery Smith came in as a wide out, didn't he? And he got switched to corner, and he's been being talked up as one of the players expected to step up and take a CB spot this year.

As for TE, also remember that UT ended up with 1 experienced healthy TE last year, along with a converted offensive lineman and a true freshman. Given that they run a lot of 2 TE sets, that's pretty thin pickings.

I would be happier if display of QB running skills were kept to a minimum. Let the OL open holes for the RBs and provide QBs with protection in the pocket.

Nice! Both twins are listed at 6’6” 240+ lb. range. Great size and potential with proper development.

There’s now 7 players on the roster hailing from Toledo Central Catholic. Always a good idea to bring in winners.

5 starters leave and he decides to transfer? Did they pull his scholarship or is something else going on? Doesn't see a path to a starting spot - or playing regularly?
