Evaluating the Current Roster and Building a Unified Grading System
Jim Nagy emphasizes the importance of collaboration with the coaching staff and is working to establish a unified grading system, which will include a color-coded scale and a getability scale 05:39
The goal is to find starter-level players to upgrade the roster, and the team will be ready to act if any top players become available in the transfer portal 09:27.
Roster Construction, Fund Allocation, and Evaluating High School Players
The team has models in place for roster construction and fund allocation, but it's challenging to learn the new market and allocate resources effectively without knowing the market 10:04.
Evaluating high school players is a new challenge, as it requires forecasting their growth and development over the next few years, but focusing on instincts, movement, and play style can help identify top talent 12:47.
The team is looking to target all levels of players, including FCS and G5, to find the best talent, and relationships with coaches at those levels are important 19:18.
John Mateer and current roster has some players who are standing out, including some young guys in the secondary and on the offensive line, such as Fusisi Fj 25:11.
Scouts will not be able to go out and see high school players immediately, but by August 1st, a list of approved scouts will be created, and some may be allowed to go out on the road 29:01.
