We are in dire need of turning the program as a whole around. Aside from football - we are not competitive in any other sports -Last edited by debergfan; 04-25-2024, 07:19 AM.

Per some social media outlets some roster news for the Rams:
Added:
Joseph Groves LB/S 6'1" 225lbs from William & Mary
Keith Baker K/P from Calvert HS
Possible Loss:
Nathan Muhle DT/DE- entered the transfer portal with 2 years of eligibility left. Very tough loss, versatile front player and those are tough to find with his size.
Omari Terry DB- entered transfer portal with 2 years eligibility left as well. Tough player, but replaceable.

I guess then Shepherd could be looked at as a step down? I really hope she is aggressive in the area of fundraising because I really hope she can expand on assisting existing sports and new men's/women's offering -- We should have wrestling and field hockey (both in the PSAC and we're talking mats and have a turf field) -- both could pull from the DMV where those sports are strong at the HS level.
This isn't someone who will be doing a lot of these things for the first time. Its also not like she was fired. The school shut down - and athletics was the thing keeping the place open. You'll have to see about fundraising. AB was using coupon code tuition discounts as athletic scholarships. Its merely a budget game instead of going out to fundraise real dollars (this is assuming Shepherd isn't allowed to discount for athletic schollies).

A few immediate thoughts: she knows how to be an AD. she understands the population and region. she understands D2 athletics.
