Opens with this on the Greg Brooks interview: There's many things I can't say, but here's what I can tell you. It's factually incorrect to state that I was not there by Greg's side through this ordeal...We love Greg. We love him for the person, competitor and battler he is.
Says they "met their goals" with his Million Dollar match campaign. He and an anonymous donor matched up to a million dollars of NIL support, meaning they've raised over three million bucks in the past couple months.
Says Alex Atkins brings a lot of experience with successful run games and has a background in OL coaching. He won't step on Brad Davis's toes, but he will be involved.
The plan for this year's roster building was to surround Nuss with weapons and giving Blake Baker playmakers on defense.
He's been to see Colin Hurley on multiple occasions. He's in Jacksonville with his family, and after talking to his dad yesterday, says he's making positive progress. Day-to-day situation, no timetable for a return.
Wanted to get some SEC experience in the QB room with Nuss, which is why they brought in Michael Van Buren. Says with him and Colin, they have two guys who can go in if something were to happen to Nuss.
Says Bauer Sharp has been outstanding so far and will compliment Trey'Dez very nicely. Also says Jack Pyburn has stood out early.
Their new WRs - Nic Anderson, Barion Brown, Destyn Hill - have lived up to the hype.
They have no expectations for the next portal window. They don't need anything, but says they'll be open if the right fit is there.
They'll be monitoring the Lacy situation. Says they don't know if he can go in the Pro Day.
Says Trey'Dez Green is still weight training with the team, but he has lost a little bit of weight. Isn't too concerned about it though.
They will add another ST coach to the mix soon.
There will be great competition for starting job on the offensive line. No job is secured yet.
Doesn't want their roster to be built through the portal, he wants to top it off each year. Admits that this year was a heavier class than they want. Says they've made incredible strides in NIL recently to help them build this year's roster.
