Off Season and Pre Season Articles Thread

Wasn't it reported that Lane was charged with Marijuana posession and that Woseley was charged with under age alcohol, which would seem to be a lessor offense. The other thing about the article vs the charges is that Knowles would seem to be strictly overseeing development and football evaluations, whereas Franklin would make any decisions regarding punishment and that decision would only be made after the investigation and situation plays out. Woseley could still miss a game or two and then work to regain his position in the depth chart.

Woseley was cited by Penn State Police being in in possession of a "Muha Meds Vape" which he admitted contained THC.

Nothing new there. Sounds like the staff is still waiting for a breakthrough by either Speca, Wiley, Nelson or Tasch. Perhaps there will be clarity in the OOC and at least one of them emerges so Knowles has four "reliable" LBers.

Yes, I think it sorts itself out in the preseason games. LB depth is just one area that sees those 1st 3 games as an open try out period for snaps.

It appears that the competition for rotational DE spots is getting serious.

Would you agree the current depth chart shakes out like this? DDS, Fisher (starters), Harvey (#3), Williams, Kemajou & Coleman (still sorting out and could be situationally dependent). Jordan Mayer is probably #7. It appears Cortez Harris and Jennings are bound for a FEW OOC reps; then redshirts.

Your thoughts?

Sounds right to me but I am not privy to anything that hasn't been posted here.

My assumption based on Knowles, previously and currently:

-Motivation. Step up. If we were playing Oregon in 13 days, I only trust 3 of you on the field right now.

(Lucky for us, he gets 3 games to see how they handle the job. I don't think he has any qualms about rolling with 3 though.)
 
Wonder what really happened with Wallace and Evans. Were they pretty much run off, or did they leave due to seeing that Franklin and Hagans were going to be hitting the portal hard for upgrades. Or both.

Doesn't seem to be working out for Evans. He'd be 2nd team at PSU likely........

I don't know that they were run off, but I'm fairly certain they knew we were going to the portal for WRs as well. Attrition in the room would have happened regardless. The reality is, do we get the 3 we got if those spots didn't open up? That is a big question.

Only word about Wallace is that he is probably WR4 at Ole Miss. 247 has screenshots of the Husky board. Somebody's outright said Evans has looked bad the past 3 weeks.

BWI podcast stated that the commentary about the new WRs "loving football" is more about "these guys want to be and the ones who left didn't" than simply "they love football".

Also saw that Evans is like 4th string at Washington and apparently has had a really bad last couple of weeks. Don't know if it's drops or what. Right now it's looking like Wallace and Evans left to ride the pine.
