I hope I am 100% wrong. I think we will finish 1-10. We have lost so much and not replaced it. Again I hope I am wrong. We will need to hit the portal hard in May. Coach is already primin' the pump.

Okay. I brought this back because a few of you wanted to hold off in making your predictions until the Blue & Gold Spring Football Game was played on April 1st. Due to quite a few key players not playing, I know that a good evaluation of the team's potential may not have been captured in predicting their future performance. Give it a shot anyways. You may want to check the first post in this thread for reference data before voting.

I still don't want to do it.
I need to see what's gonna happen with our interior DL.

based on the spring football footage i've seen, the lack of participation during spring practice, and "zero" eye popping new commitments since coach brown took over, i'm even "less" encouraged than before. obviously a lot could change between now and opening day, but as of "right now" i'm thinking we'll finish in the bottom third of the conference. so that means 11th to dead "last" (15th) in the conference...

OSA, you're just like the MBB and WBB pundits. If you don't know anything about them pick them in the bottom third. LOL
I think this team will be better than last year's team offensively, but may struggle on defense unless the portal yields a gem or two up front.

LOL I think this team will be better than last year's team offensively, but may struggle on defense unless the portal yields a gem or two up front. no, not really. i'm just "realistic", i'm a "straight shooter". we've got a lot going against us. first and foremost, a "brand new" coaching staff. unlike when coach wash took over for coach broadway. new staff means, "new everything". new offensive system, new defensive system, new "culture". add to that, we've lost some of our "very best" players! and they have not been adequately replaced. we have "essentially" no experience at the most important position on any football team, the quarterback. and as if that's not bad enough, almost half of our remaining players didn't even participate in spring practice which means they're already behind the curve of learning a new system, new coaches, and new culture. add to that, our new head coach has "zero" experience as a head football coach! you don't think he's gonna make "rookie mistakes" like coach prime did his first season? still not enough? overall, our new coaching staff has never worked together before! so even they have to go through a "learning curve" almost as much as the players. all those factors (especially non-replacement of lost talent) justify my outlook for this year's team. we don't have "any" qb's on our roster who has played a full fcs game before. how do you look pass that? we've "never" had a qb with the same or less experience than that who stepped in "immediately" and led our team to a successful season. so i have legitimate reasons for predicting a poor season this coming season. now, things can change between now and then. so i reserve the right to change my prediction depending on what develops between now and then. but as of "right now"? things aren't looking very good for this upcoming season. i know ya'll don't wanna hear that, but i'm not in the business of just saying things to make folk feel good. instead, i'm in the business of telling the truth and calling things exactly the way i see it...

Normally I would not agree with the Meh comments but given where we are losing so many star players those comments are inline. Hell I would take going .500 and be happy. We have a lot of unproven players so our future look hopeful.

i swear, i see "zero" benefits to hampton for leaving the meac. they certainly ain't winning no conference championships in "anything" except track/field their first year in the bsc, otherwise not even "challenging" for a championship. they certainly ain't more "visible" relative to regional/national "exposure".
other than occasionally beating a&t, they're basically a forgotten hbcu in terms of the hbcu national landscape. and clearly they haven't moved the needle relative to pwc's. but i guess, all that matters is that dr. harvey is "happy" even though he'll be stepping down soon...
