Losing Lloyd and Vince will hurt, but we are loaded at LB. It may take them a couple of games to get rolling, but we will be fine there.

jcmanson wrote:BJ, Rasberry red-shirted this year, so he would be back next year. He will be our TE, with a couple young guns his back up. Also, Chris Rocco didn't start last year, he will take Pat's spot, thus our 4 DBs are Pat, CR, Greiser, and Kent Hicks.
BJWilliams wrote: WR: We lose Brandon Turner and Wynton Jackson but will still have Dominic Bolden. Really its the question of who will step up as the #2 and #3 receiversOne of our best sets last year was the four-wide set. We ran that with Wynton Jackson, Brandon Turner, Dominic Bolden, and Jonathan Crawford. It's safe to say that since two of those will be back, they'll be starters next year. With Chris Summers coming off his redshirt season, it's safe to say he'll be in there too. You have to think this stuff through.
BJWilliams wrote:OL: We lose 3 starters and very well could have underclassmen starting even out of spring ball. We do have Godsil coming back though (with a fully healed leg)You forget to mention that we bring back Britt Stone as well and he started every game last year. You also fail to mention that our top two backups who got significant playing time in every game last year (not just mop up duty) in Josh Weaver and Zach Davis are back. I haven't even mentioned Brian Mosier who got some playing time as well and came in at guard after Godsil got hurt at G-W (Stone moved to center).
BJWilliams wrote:TE: We lose both of the TEs that saw significant time last year in Chris Luck and Richard Thom, and Cory Rasberry will be graduating as well. We will have a number of underclassmen battling for the #1 spot once spring practice starts.Pay attention more. Coach Rocco said before the season started that Corey Rasberry would be redshirted this year so that he'd be available next year. It's the same situation Gado was in his senior year before the injuries hit the guys in front of him and he was forced into playing time.
BJWilliams wrote: LB: Vince Redd will be gone, Stevie Ray will be gone...Hursky is back and so is Bannon. The underclassmen are going to need to step up.You fail to mention that Ian Childress, who started a couple games and played more than Bannon, is back.
BJWilliams wrote:DB: Chris Rocco is back, Ryan Greiser is back, and Pat Calvary is back. Question is who will step up as the 4th DB with Pat Dickerson graduating.There are two or three problems with this statement. First off, you don't mention that we have Kent Hicks back. Second, Pat Dickson was a safety. Chris Rocco also plays safety. Hmm, who do you think is going to step into Dickerson's starting role. Could it be Chris Rocco? Wow, logic. It's a great thing to have.
BJWilliams wrote:P: Kolegue really found new life as the punter this past season, but he is graduating. Will one of the other kickers take the puinting duties or what? I know we dont recruit punters but we can't go for it every 4th down that isnt in field goal range. which brings me to...That's just dumb. You also forget that Wes Cheek was our backup punter this year and will be back next year.
BJWilliams wrote:K: Noah Greenbaum was pretty much $$$ this year for us. David Drake is back but is he the guy we can count on to be the everyday kicker? Or will Blevins have to step up as a freshman? What about that walk on that was bandied about near the end of the season.Once again, pay attention before you throw out stupid stuff. We offered a scholarship to a kicker that's verballed to us.
SuperJon wrote:No, I definitely ripped on your stuff about the OL.Like I said, I'm trying. In any case you do make good points about all the other stuff. I never noticed that Wes was our backup punter though. In any case, this will be a very fun team to watch next year, and Im sure Coach Rocco is addressing the appropriate needs with recruiting and it will make for a very nice signing day (Feb 6 I believe)
And I admit, I overlooked you mentioning Blevins. That's actually impressive.
jcmanson wrote:haha... I just thought it was a little to much, seriously just because he didn't mention 60 players doesn't mean he is stupid or a moron!!! Also my g/f has no desire to post on this website:)givemethemic wrote:Good work B.J, ease up a little on him...GMTM, why'd you let your girl get access to your password?
jcmanson wrote:If he can't mention 60 players, he's not a real fan.Like I said jc, Im no LU football expert, but Im trying (and the last couple years I havent had much opportunity to watch the games because Im either busy helping the band in the stands or busy behind the fieldhouse helping pack stuff after halftime and only know that anything is going on by looking at the scoreboard or hearing the fight song)
