Title: Roster question Post by: BanditVol on April 21, 2012, 08:49:50 EDT This is a list of DL returning players only. It was published prior to signing day.
DE Jacques Smith-Jr Willie Bohannon-Sr DT Daniel Hood-Jr .. NT Maurice Couch-Jr .. DE Marlon Walls-Jr Corey Miller-Jr Of that list, who will start and who will sit? And is McCullers going to be a big part of the rotation? On paper, he looks like a run-stopping beast in the middle. Any other frosh expected to contribute? Only O'Brien looks any good on paper, but I guess the other three add depth if nothing else. Any insight appreciated. I have not really been tracking this, and none of the places I normally go on the web are updated for 2012 yet. If anyone has a link to a current site that discusses our roster I would also appreciate that.

My uneducated guess would be Couch, Sentimore, and McCullers start on the line, with Smith joining Johnson, Magitt, and Lathers at LB.

Title: Re: Roster question Post by: BanditVol on April 22, 2012, 02:37:28 EDT Good point nut, we do have 9 returning starters plus Lathers on D.
In fact, almost the entire team is coming back. If we had not suxed so badly last year that would be a really bad thing. Then again, arguably our three best players - Hunter, Bray and Lathers - were out most of the season, so the bottom line is that we should at least be better, even with the change in coaching staff. I am not overly optimistic, but we do at least finally have experience across the board and that has to be a good thing. Dooley really needs to put up now, and I wouldn't mind him shutting up a bit also. :biggrin: |
