YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: It’s officially Football Season

« on: April 17, 2024, 07:42:42 PM »

pretty wild to see the roster this offseason absolutely implode... it has been a slow burn... 11-defensive players (2-deep depth) have entered the portal so far... will us fans get answers from Coach on what's happening??

Coach Faulkner was featured on Penguin Gameday yesterday evening. He did a lot better in that setting. Coach Jackson was on, too. She is going to be terrific. Such an exciting time for hoops!

Definitely believe that this was a solid hire - but it was a pretty underwhelming & flat press conference.

Few take aways:

-All players with eligibility have returned (6)
-Danny Reese has been promoted, Evan Faulkner (brother) has been named, Mark Richmond (former director of operations at YSU) has been named, too.
-Much of the offense & defense will remain the same

Thoughts...
-The confirmation of returning players was definitely welcomed news
-think it is a great and well-deserved promotion for Danny.
-his brother, Evan, specialized in recruiting, scouting, and player development for UPIKE.
-Was expecting a little more excitement and pull back the curtain more.

Losing Ben Asher is going to be tough. He was on the Silver Waves 2024 Rising Stars for Mid-Majors and I believe he was responsible for a lot of recruiting. I feel pretty good about Faulkner - great hire!

Boy that sun was cookin'!

I really had no idea how they were keeping track of the points? The halftime D-Line vs O-Line fielding punts was fun.

I was pretty impressed with the D-Line - it seemed they often times had their way with the O-Line. LBs were flying around making some nice plays.

Good Luck, Luke!

Also - really liking some of these moves:

Brandon Rush
Bryce McBride
Malek Green
Adrian Nelson
+ keeping Cohill

Could be something special next season. Can't wait!

So disappointing with the lack of local media coverage... I remember Joe Scalzo would have a few articles a week featured in the Vindy during Spring & Summer Ball...


Does anyone have scoop or insight of how spring ball is going?
