He's a good runner but can't pass very well. His completion rate is under 50% but he's their leading rusher by a wide margin. He knows this is his last chance to get a bag because the NFL isn't an option so he's doing everything he can to cash in with his last year of eligibility.

This kind of crap needs to stop. Players should not be allowed to be contacted by other schools during the season and if a player like Sluka decides to do stuff like this, then he should have to sit out a year. Any school that is recruiting players like this needs to be punished. An example would be losing scholarships for the next season.

Whenever I think of how bad Congress is, I just turn my thoughts to how bad the NCAA is. That makes me feel better for a few seconds.
Schools can poach tamper with buy and steal players from other schools. NCAA just "looks the other way". I know of an athlete at Liberty who has never been in transfer portal, yet was offered $100,000 by a Big 10 school to transfer.

I agree. Leave them alone during the season.

And I wil say there are unwritten rules among coaches being broken left and right. This is going to get ugly.

I thought about that. But I was thinking of the HUUUUUUGE bags that get handed out for basketball on Tobacco Road. To say nothing of Kentucky and now Arkansas.

2. fall softball
3. softball summer camps
4. softball signing day

Well atleast he's leaving because of the broken promises. We have people declaring for a red shirt plus entering the transfer portal because they are not getting their way. USC DL Bear Alexander is a good example :lol:

So, UNLV is beating 3-1 Fresno State 45-7 in the 4th quarter and Sluka's replacement Hajj-Malik Williams has gone 13-16 for 189 yards and 3 tds, while running for 119 on just 12 carries and another score.

They don't play D out west. But even factoring that in, the kid has been impressive today.

Stating the obvious but Williams transferred from Campbell.

Boise State, JMU, and UNLV all stomped opponents this week but Boise State running all over WSU probably is the best win for G5 Playoff Contenders. I’d say they are the heavy frontrunner at this point with their only loss being a close one to Oregon.

NIU lost again so they are solidly out.

I think even with another regular season loss boise st probably gets in over us. We need to try to get them on the schedule even if it means playing at their place on that terrible turf. Beating them at their own place would be the statement win we need to put us over the top assuming we win out. We do have the same bye week as them and they are eligible for a 13th game since they are playing at Hawaii.

Playing Boise would be cool! Probably take that road trip. I hear they have good potatoes :D

UNLV lost to Syracuse last night in a close one. They may need another loss for us to have a shot of leapfrogging them.

I think were gonna have to hope that whoever loses the UNLV-boise state game wins the rematch in the conference championship game. With it looking unlikely we'll be able to add a 12th game I think one of those two teams with 2 losses gets in over us and that's not even factoring in JMU who doesn't seem to have 2 losses left on the schedule.

Were you counting one of those JMU losses to ULM? :lol:
