What are our biggest remaining needs for this year?

What are our biggest remaining needs for this year?

Most of what we need to fill seems to be on defense. Everyone agree?

We are going to be really green at linebacker and safety but I'm not sure we're going to address those needs with recruiting unless it's a transfer that already has a lot of college playing experience.

Quantitatively, there are no real needs for defensive personnel... This is a deep team at every position for an FCS school. Young on OL this coming season with about 14 bodies, DB about the same. RB was probably a need position. The rest is more about players moving on, injuries etc... Always good to add depth on DL and superior athletes everywhere if they are to be had. See roster.

Watch this HUDL first catch and tell me what this looks like: offered today by Coach B.

Karl Urbon (that's right Judge Dredd, OK it's a stretch)

Cooper Kupp HUDL:

About the only similarity I see is they both wear the same number

Besides the body control, sinking the hips at or near contact, speed and physicality... nothing special to see here. Glad you aren't the talent evaluator for the staff; albeit you are welcome to your opinion.

Where are we with signing a QB?

Eric Barriere was recently offered by Hawaii. EWU still in the running.

I'm excited about the Pierce commit. He was a sought after athlete. I read somewhere that Elijah Piper signed with Fresno State.

RB or DB?

Hi Atomic;
You'll find that kids get moved around as need arises. If he is a good athlete they'll find him a play.
Let me guess you're from the Tri Cities?

Looks like a stud!

I hear a lot of stories in which EWU gains a player, because that player will get to play their preferred position. I wonder if Baldwin lets athletes have their preferred position with a higher interest into having talent on his roster, rather than a specific player at a specific spot. Anyone have more insight on this shower thought?

Always good to get a win over NDSU. Suspect because his EWU jersey pic says RB, he is slated for RB. Puts the Custer verbal as doubtful in my mind. Glad to have Pierce on board. Awesome picture on twitter.
