Future fullback? With a few extra lbs. he could be moved over to LB, as well.

[BJWilliams]

I think he could start right out at FB (we do still run a lot of I formation with the FB)

[ToTheLeft]

Not sure how much playing time a fullback can get in our offense anymore (Mike Brown won't be under center in the I form very often, you're handcuffing his ability by doing that)... that being said, if he's good enough to merit playing time I'm sure Coach Streeter can get him out there. But LB or DL make some sense, too. Maybe TE, but we've got that position covered.

[PAmedic]

looks like the next incarnation of Grieser to me.

how fast is he, and does he like to pop people in the mouth?

We'll still run a bunch of wing formations. Who better to put infront of Mike on the outside than a bruising FB?

Oooh. I didn't think about that. My first thought was to have Bill get him 30 pounds heavier and make him the next Terry Adams. But if he has enough speed, that's a good thought, especially since, as a fullback, he knows how to hit someone in the mouth.

[PAmedic]

I know, right?

maybe I have a new object of fixation. ( I still have Fath, though)

[PAmedic]

yup- this would work

[Sly Fox]

MS Paint rides again!

[Rooster Cogburn]

with rough edges, haha

[PAmedic]

one of my finer attempts

[Zeus69]

I coached Ryan last year at University Christian and I can tell you that he can play fullback, tailback, linebacker, or a defensive end. The kid is a really good athlete that has alot of potential. He is also very strong and will run people over.

[LUaddict]

Definitely cannot wait to see him and the rest of the signees on the field this upcoming season.I also cannot wait to put a good behind whoopin' on Ball state. Go Flames

Why is the guy wearing a Nease HS jersey?

[LUnpretty11]

Because he played for Nease and transferred to the University school for his senior year due to the fact that U Christian is a Christian school.

[Sly Fox]

That is correct. the only pic I could find of him was from his junior year at Nease before he transferred.

[kuntryboimike]

Is this the same guy??

[Sly Fox]

Its been resolved and he is making the most of his secon chance.

I trust that coach Rocco has had o goodvtalk with this about these things and j'courtney as well. I trust that he is here because he has changed or putting forth slot of effort in changing. I'm sure he will be fine. Like sly fox said he is making the most of his second chance.

[LUaddict]

Plus kids coming to LU I think that they are trying to make a positive change in their lives. So I like to give them the benefit if the doubt.

[BJWilliams]

Any word on this kid? As of right now he isnt showing on the roster on the website

[olldflame]

Here's a project for you BJ. Post a list of all the incoming freshmen who do show on that roster.
