    Yes, in Wright’s case, I believe it was 35 catches and 3 TDs in 2 years.

    Wright showed flashes but if I remember correctly, he also had complete and total boneheaded moments.

    Gopher WRs isn’t exactly the most illustrious list. If you have to go past 74 receivers before getting to his name, that probably isn’t a good sign.

    Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

    Very good first weekend for the team. It seems 1 more starter quality OL and DT are needed. Everything else will be icing on the cake.

    Boom

    The cynic in me worries that this addition won’t work out given their track record of adding previously highly rated WRs with little success at their first school. Hopefully, I’ll be proven wrong this time.

    That is one I was hoping wouldn’t leave town. I know he was D2 but Iowa does know a couple things about DBs.

    That seems like a good start for rebuilding the DTs.

    Besides the upside, I wonder if part of the idea with Warren is balancing OL classes. However, I still feel like adding a player like Warren is one of the bigger risks in taking a player through the portal. Big upside, little film. Whereas, if they are trying to improve the team for this...

    I’m in that same boat and hope they still pick up that type of guy. However, if they see an opportunity to supplement HS recruiting by taking a highly ranked underclassman through the portal, that’s probably an acceptable approach.

    III is right. Jr. is 72 and a retired NFL special teams coach.

    I guess we will find out soon enough on Warren. They need to hit on the OL transfers this year. Taking a guy like Warren with little experience increases the risk of a bust. I hope he’s as good as the HS rating suggests. The Oklahoma offer is definitely a good data point in his favor. Only...

    I’m not sure how to feel there. He seems to have good stats but somehow was left completely off all-conference lists. I get that all-conference lists can be subjective but being left off altogether is interesting.

    Agreed that the wrong tone was used on my post. This kid looks like a potential depth piece for next year with upside for the future. A starting OT is still needed. Hopefully, they still have enough money allocated to obtain that player.

    However, it looks like he is ranked an 88 and the 19th best OT in the portal by On3 but not rated by 247 yet.

    Looked like it was around 80 snaps on offense with the remainder on special teams.

    That can’t be their lone OL pickup from the portal if they expect improvement there next year.

    Matt Simon has been let go

    People don’t always get fired when they should nor was there anything this year that indicated he shouldn’t have been let go. Managers are humans not some AI that immediately notices a trend an executes a change. The receiver corps couldn’t win against man nor could they make a contested catch.

    Matt Simon has been let go

    The position has not been very good over that time period. He’s lost far more HS recruits than he’s developed. The recruiting hasn’t been great to start. Additionally, quantify the effect he’s had on players developing as opposed to players naturally acclimating to the speed of the game.

    Matt Simon has been let go

    Rate Bowl offensive MVP isn’t a very high bar… Also, Matt Simon was also the coach when Smith had “too many drops”. Finally, how many all-conference WRs has he had since 2019? What’s his hit rate on HS WR recruits?
