Vargas is going to get playing time at Cal, he’ll likely be one of the top two backs. Mohammed is also very good so Vargas is not going to be the exclusive ball carrier, but he wasn’t going to do that here.

That situation is proof that schools are offering money in return for signing longer term commitments, so them holding the athlete to the commitment is an example of changes being made.

They brought in seven announced at the regular NLI signing day. I don’t recall hearing much before that date, and we might not again. Those transfers ended up being roughly half of the defense.

David Rasor’s X account says he has offers from Southern Utah, Mercyhurst, and Incarnate Word,

but no non medical redshirt. So barring an early season injury any Ivy player who played less than three or four games (I’m not sure which due to the 10 game schedule) in any of the four seasons has a year of eligibility after graduating.

They will be in an expanded conference this year.

Washington State has 30 players outbound in the transfer portal, including 3 QBs Jimmy Rogers was there for one year,

Proof that no one in the department reads posts here.

I’m encourage that Marquis Bell is on the spring roster, He played well until he broke his arm while playing in a cast. He is 6’ 205. He was playing corner, but is probably more of a safety.

One of the major losses on defense is Riddick. Big Sky All-Conference (First Team)

Ivy players do not redshirt, they must complete their time in four seasons, so that is the best source for grad transfers.
Another source might be someone who played JC ball and then graduated from a four year school, if the JC years don’t count again this year.

From a coaches perspective it was no doubt bad football, but as a fan, it was great. Teams showed athleticism, followed bad plays with great ones, game was competitive until the last moment, enthusiastic fans.

Wrighster is officially in the portal. He posted the notification that the school has notified the NCAA on Jan 4rh

About all the NCAA has left is the authority to define eligibility rules for players on NCAA teams. Due to court cases they can’t count years played in either pro or junior college against the five year rule, but they can define what a year of participation in NCAA play is. Connors’ case challenges that remaining authority.

The team actually has a Spring 2026 Spring roster posted. Doesn't list Pinnick or Rasor. but does list Wrighster.

We had some highly rated DBs who missed most or all the season due to injury . Cravin, Totten, and Albert Richardson
Ty Richardson still has eligibility.
By the way did you see Ty's brother's catch for USC in the Alamo bowl?

Fisher has two years left.

The tv broadcast team mentioned that a player redshirted because he wanted to work out in the new Madden facility. Seemed odd.

I think few coaches would not let someone back if the player was valuable. I don’t picture Plough as someone who wouldn’t.
Rhode Island had a player who was a bounceback, not just from the portal but he had enrolled at a FBS school before changing his mind.

I doubt a school can void a scholarship mid term, and certainly not before the player enters the portal. I think the scholarships are contracts. If a player enters the pirtal they don’t need to hold a next year scholarship, but I don’t think they can void current term scholarship. Scholarships are either for a full year, or recently for a half year, i think the half year ones are intended as an option for super seniors.
