As I pointed in a recent posting, we gotten the best of Siena teams this season and Siena's seemingly singular focus of their sports program. Can you blame Marcus for leaving UAlbany for the athletic scholarship that never came his way at UAlbany. I bet some N-I-L money will come his way too.
Yes, Marcus will now have to prove himself or he will likely be looking for a new team a year from now, but Coach McNamara must have saw something in him.
Did he get a scholarship to Siena?

I think Wentz, Dietz and Jackson Parker all return. Not as experienced as some of the players that left but a decent group. I think Psrker missed some games with injury. Dietz and Wentz (both ODU transfers) had some pretty good games. I do think we need some more depth (don’t remember any transfers coming in).
wish there was info coming out of spring workouts.

Had a couple of guys from the Lackawanna factory and a big WR kid from HVCC (guilderland hs)...didn't list them as they are technically not portaling?!
Also got great news that two VERY important guys are coming back for Albany for a final run.in Scott Houseman and DeSean Winston.I think Chance Roberts is an offensive lineman - everything else looks good. I also saw somewhere that Trey Lindsey (the Auburn transfer QB) has another year of eligibility but not sure if he’s staying.
-
For the O Line, I think the top 7 players have remaining eligibility. Houseman, Marotta, Hutchinson, Dugery, Foster, Latulippe and Mosier. Houseman, Marotta and Hutchinson were seniors but should have eligibility if they want. There’s also the transfer from Tiffin so this should be a deep group (if everyone comes back).
Thoughts?

What are the remaining positions of priority?
The interior D Line and an experienced QB might be priorities. The only returning interior defensive lineman that played a lot is Neco Eberhart. Boyer and Chehade also played but not a lot. There have been 3 or 4 edge rushers committed but only one interior d lineman. For QB, we don’t have any experienced returning QB’s. The only QB that has any college playing time is Burkett and that was minimal at Wisconsin. So assuming he’s going to start, might be good to have an experienced backup. Weber, Lynch and Rae might be good players but we don’t know.

Very happy for Poffenbarger. I live in South Florida so will definitely get to Hard Rock stadium for a game or two.
Also, just a great story. He walks on at ODU, transfers to us and is in a QB battle before being named the starter. Then leads us to the best performance in school history before transferring to a P5.
People can knock the transfer portal and there are some issues with it but clearly someone missed on his evaluation and the transfer portal is giving him a chance to chase his dreams. Not sure how successful he’ll be but I’m rooting for him.

Can someone help me understand why FBS or FCS players would transfer to an FCS program. I remember the old process when FBS players would transfer “down” so they can play immediately but now players can transfer whenever or wherever they want and play immediately so why would they choose an FCS program?
I see the players who get through FBS spring workouts and realize they won’t get playing time making that decision - they might just want a place to land. I also see D2 players moving “up” to FCS as well as current FBS players that are looking for FCS experience / exposure with the chance of moving back to an FBS program or maybe someone just looking for some increased playing time moving FCS to FCS.
Seems to me that FCS schools will have to wait until spring workouts to see who’s available to transfer and those players might just be looking to establish a resume and go back to FBS.

I think we have to do a much better job on special teams and avoid giving up big plays. We’re just not good at kickoff and punt coverage so I’m hoping we don’t try to kick / punt deep - don’t want to give them good field position. Also, Wentz had a fumbled punt against Richmond, almost had another fumble last week (punt almost hit him) against Idaho and unnecessary returned a kick from his end zone and only got back to the 18 yard line against Idaho. We just can’t have those mistakes tonight.
Villanova actually played well last week but they had a blocked punt, another punt that hit one of their players behind the line os scrimmage and then they gave up a long run to Davis late in the game. They might have lost anyway but you can’t beat a great team with those mistakes.
jus hoping that Joe Bernard has the special teams ready tonight.

The Idaho QB, RB and a DB are all in the transfer portal.

Did Joe Bernard watch any Idaho film?

Not much info on the injuries but Jackson Parker did play and had one reception - he wasn’t listed in the box score but I’m sure I saw #10 with a long pass reception.
Austin Mosier was injured on the first offensive play of the game and didn’t come back. On the CAA call yesterday, I think coach Gattuso said it was a lower body injury but I’ve heard nothing else.
I’ve heard nothing about Alexander or Houseman (the center).
