Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
Four of the departures are medical retirements, which are impossible to predict. Ty'Rese Gibson is gone for now but may be back if he can get some things in order. So that makes the number more like 11. Then you factor in that Todd Payne, Jarrod Ashche, Jacob Byrne, Clark Judisch and Blake Allred were walk-ons who were replaced by more talented players. Hard to predict 4-star recruits like Dante Sparaco and Maleek Barkley not liking Montana State and leaving so abruptly.Grizaddict wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 4:48 pmThat makes sense for sure.

To answer your question, I think each team loses 10-15 players a year whether that comes from injury, attrition or coaches deciding to go in a different direction. And I also think every team has specifics that go along with almost every roster move. And I think the current generation quits in much shorter order than in the past.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
Choate has improved the roster every year but I think the NDSU loss accelerated Choate's thought process and he is driving upgrades harder then before. I think the roster and the coaching staff have made improvements greater than his first 3 years. I think Choate can compete now for a BSC title and I think he is only another year away from competing for a NC title.

I think it all hinges on getting the QB spot figured out. If we do that, then I think you're right.gtapp wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 10:33 pmChoate has improved the roster every year but I think the NDSU loss accelerated Choate's thought process and he is driving upgrades harder then before.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
Attrition is normal. There will always be a few that either don't like it here, or want to move on for some reason (cost of school, being away from home, playing time, etc).
Then you get some attrition that is "encouraged" because there are other players who are better, and being blunt, they're a non optimal usage of scholarship or roster space. Attrition because you're upgrading your roster is a good thing. So Cauley, Metcalf, no big deal. Williams on the other hand, not ideal at all. But it happens. I don't think any of this is an indictment on Choate.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
Our roster is much stronger overall and Choate is working on making it even stronger. I think we are stronger overall, but we may be missing the key individual standouts that separate a good team from a great team. Troy is obviously an NFL talent, but we need a couple more NFL type guys. NDSU, Delaware and Stony Brook each had 7 guys that got NFL tryouts/deals this year. Heck, Northern Colorado, UC Davis, Western Illinois and South Dakota State all had four guys get NFL deals.91catAlum wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2019 5:40 amI think it all hinges on getting the QB spot figured out.

Obviously, we have Troy (and Konkol and maybe even Murray) as NFL guys, but with additions like Ifanse, Sterk and the new UW guy, Choate is getting those key extra players that will put our roster over the top. Big Sky Conference this year and and deep playoff run this year and next year.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
Yes, the Cats can compete for the Big Sky. I agree with previous analysis on the QB. As far as the national conversation, I'd like to see a Bobcat team get past the quarterfinals. Ash never did it; maybe Choate can! We'll see. I like the team this year and they need to get those tough road wins. I'm excited and look forward to 2019!Cataholic wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2019 11:06 amOur roster is much stronger overall and Choate is working on making it even stronger.

Is Jalen Cole still with the team? I know he had a very serious injury last year. Is it still a wait and see how recovers deal?

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
I tried to put up a link from the Sacramento Paper but couldn't get it done. If you have an interest in seeing a team get destroyed you have to read this article. Titled "28 Football Players Left Sac State in 2016. Here's Why". I kept telling friends we needed to be aware of the talent in Sacramento, but could never figure out how they couldn't get it done. Now I know. The article further states they actually lost 72 players between 2014 and 2018. To fill out the mess, they lost a boat load of key players to injury last year, basically wiping out what was left.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
Coaches over coach and out think themselves everyday, the number doesn’t shock me anymore. It’s equivalent off college basketball refs, they call a good game in the first half, then meet with each other at halftime, and then totally lose their minds in the second half. Someone always has to get in the way, just to put their own stamp on it.Montanabob wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 3:23 pminteresting to see how many off the losing teams went to start FBS.AFCAT wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 1:23 pmMr Lisle wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 12:11 pmI tried to put up a link from the Sacramento Paper but couldn't get it done.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
I think this is a calculated move based on a realization that playing QB at MSU is likely not going to happen in the foreseeable future because though we don’t know who the QB will be, those in the program are aware.
