Well, the President is leaving at years end, the AD should go to for not making a move all these years. Be a nice Christmas present for the AD and Waialia both be fired.

Seeing as the search firm announced they are going to have "listening sessions" on campus in early January, I wouldn't hold my breath for a "Christmas present."

Well Boat , you can shine the helmets and wash the jock straps now since another successful season is over. Hilltoppers finished with one of their better seasons of late, with a record of 4-7. Same as last season so they may have stabilized. Of the four teams they outslugged, their total records were 7 wins and 37 losses. I guess it's back to the California JUCO's to replenish the talent they are losing. Can't wait until next summer to hear how the team is jelling and really looking good in practice. The new guys are blending in good and with limited injuries they should be in the mix. Enjoy basketball season!

Looking forward to a "QB Rotation" like we did with Crow and LaGarde. Maybe we can get one of our few .500+ seasons??

Shon Stephens will be at a D1 school next year and likely P5

Shon Stephens will be at a D1 school next year and likely P5

Says he's received several offers including a Power 5 school in Virginia Tech. Also offers from Central Michigan, Tarleton State, Albany, Sacred Heart and Samford. Might be better suited as a safety at upper levels, depending on scheme. Excellent ball skills and instincts.

All MEC Zach Dixon transferring to Henderson State

Guess back to two wins next year!

Only 7 signees announced so far. Two good players from the OVAC but they let a lot of talent go elsewhere. Wheeling picked up quite a few OVAC kids

OC Greg McGhee left for the Howard QB job. Revolving door at OC on the hilltop

Not like we had a dynamic offense with McGhee as the OC sooooo...no great loss?

The final number of new bodies coming to the Hilltop is 23. Interesting (?) addition is QB Trevor LeGarde. Trevor is the baby brother of former Topper QB Dylan LeGarde woh battled LD Crow for the QB1 spot during 2012-15 seasons.

Signed 4 Quarterbacks, 4 on roster. Wonder who is not coming back?

Ho, Hum. Always great recruiting class, field the needs, can't wait to get to work! Then fall comes, 2, maybe 3 wins. Then cycle starts all over again.

There are coaching staffs that recruit well but can't coach them up...and they are consistently 500.
There are coaching staffs who can't recruit but coach them up...and they are consistently 500.
There are coaching staffs that recruit well and then coach them up well...and they consistantly win.

Then there is WLU that can't recruit OR coach them up...They consistently win 3 or fewer games year, after, year, after, year, etc, etc...

Dakota Conwell returning as QB coach
