Breida also has a seperated shoulder and questionable for week one. The deadline is tomorrow at 1 PM, I think he makes it to their practice squad and gets a redshirt year. I saw a 49ers beat writer tweet that he liked Wilson in camp but that he needed a year or two to build lower body strength.

Jerrod McKinnon, Alfred Morris and Matt Breida have locked roster spots. San Fransisco cut last years 4th round pick earlier today, leaving only Wilson and Jeremy Mcnichols if they carry a 4th running back. We will know tomorrow, but scoring a TD last night couldn't have hurt his chances. I'm sure he'll end up on a practice squad at the least.

Disappointing to not see Josh Sa'afi or McMillan listed. It still doesn't make sense to me that we spent two scholarships on depth guys who probably won't contribute in their two years here. I understand the DL group needed bodies, if injuries strike this year you would rather have 21 year old guys who have filled out rather than young guys who aren't ready. I still think those schollys would be better served going to a talented non qualifier who could either make it to campus or not or a project player.

SMU has a lot of talent and a proven coach but we have the same and more continuity. Neither team should be penciling in this one as a win already. I think we will have a slight edge being at home, would love to stomp them though.

Long gone are the days of us having +/- 7 kids with few other FBS looks committed by mid December, and then convincing ourselves the last 15-18 to commit were late bloomers who were FBS quality players after being turned down by the first 100+ we offered. We finally have our ducks in a row, and the catalyst for all of the changes was the removal of RV as athletic director. Just imagine where we would be had a Wren Baker type of AD take over in 2007 instead of a couple years ago. Not to mention Neal Smastrek. I've never met the guy personally, and I know a lot of people have negative opinions, but to the man who spearheaded the "Fire RV" banner fly over, you deserve many thanks. Wherever you are, thank you sir, and thanks to all who contributed.

Umoja Gibson is a complete unknown and I can't wait to see him in action this year.

For those who got to see Umoja Gibson before the injury last year how did he look? His bio says he started both games as a true freshman he clearly has talent, what can we expect from him this season?

The lack of young defensive lineman on the roster is concerning. Hopefully they will oversign in the next class. FR- Leblanc/Shaw RS FR- 0 SO- Dion Novil RS SO- 0

The short week and late start will help us immensely. I'm not sure it will be enough to overcome the talent gap but anything helps. That said, to make this move for CBSSN is one of the few bad decisions by the AD thus far. Our conference television agreement is complete trash I don't understand why if we're making pennies we don't at least have an agreement with ESPN. The casual fan still watches ESPN, CBSSN is no where on the radar. We are not getting any new eyeballs on our product, I don't really see the benefit. I could see a big student turnout and that would be great for TV, I can also see an awful turnout if we have a .500 record or so coming in to the game. Still I can't help but roll my eyes at the people complaining about getting home at 12 or 1 on a weeknight.. live a little guys.

Somewhat impressed. His hit rate on JUCO players is high. Wheeler, Ejiya, Guyton etc. have made massive contributions. McConney was like 20% on JUCO players. I remember posting here a long time ago wondering when we would find our own Kolton Browning, Keith Wenning, Case Keenum etc.. He found that player and then some with a month to put together his first class. Fine will reset nearly every passing record here that alone is proof that he has the ability to find diamonds in the rough, but you simply can't rely on these type of signings long term. The only problem I have is the fact that we still seem to get beat more often than not for players that we want in recruiting. Especially on the defensive side of the ball. We have to do better there. That will catch up to us eventually.

We are running away with this game holy shit! One helluva start to the second half.

I am fully aware he did not have the measurables NFL teams like. Still, with his dads pedigree and his play here he should have gotten more of a look than he did. There is clearly a perception problem when the few guys who have made NFL rosters in recent years had to do it the UDFA route..

The only way Wilson hurt his draft stock this week is if he had bad interviews. Teams will be wary already with the high rate of fumbles and missed games over his career. Hopefully he tests well at our pro day to push him in to the 5th-6th round range in teams eyes. I would love to end the draftless streak but going in the 7th round would be worst case for him, having your choice between teams as a UDFA is much better for the player at that point.. We had a guy who was the son of a pretty well known NFL player here and went on to be All Pro before injuries ended his career and he still did not get drafted, we have a major perception problem here that needs to change.

BRING CHAT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right there are exceptions to every rule, but what I posted still holds true for the majority of white Texans.. I'm done posting in this forum though, GMG!

LOL okay pal I mean I work with both legal and illegal immigrants on a daily basis, I know good and damn well about the hardships they face and how they feel about people entering the country illegally or legally. Tell me more about how I'm not in the real world though please..

I'm white, I live in Texas in a small town and I work in the construction industry.. I'm not playing the race card I'm simply calling it how I see it. It blows my mind more of you don't see things the same way.

LMAO Okay guys.. I will stick to the sports forums this is asinine.

Huh? What about my post was "playing the race card"? It is what it is, I know I won't change anyones mind here, I used to have the same views many on this forum. But I was 17.. When I got out in to the real world and actually gained some perspective I learned there is a huge difference in growing up caucasian and growing up as a minority. But I guess that's all just BS...

A 3 star defensive lineman with multiple FBS offers we had a legitimate shot at... And he committed elsewhere, again.

A freakin one handed three by Smart this dude is unreal This team deserves more fans in the pit..

So G5's will become the new JUCO's... cool.

I'm not sure but I would like to see us be opportunistic with the scholarships we have left. This team has a major talent deficiency in the front seven. We were pretty bad at stopping the run, rushing the passer and we were outclassed putting our linebackers on running backs on passing downs. I like some of the guys we signed early but lets be real here, it's unlikely any of them are going to be difference makers next season. The JUCO signings look like depth adds at best. Bryce English may help next year but how many years has it been since he stepped on a football field? Now coming off a major injury it would be foolish to just expect him to be an all conference player next season. We will get pushed around again if we don't sign some better players for the front seven, I hope that is our area of focus.

What conference are these refs from? That was clearly a foul on the GT players on Woolridge's drive and the GT player was moving on the offensive foul a couple possessions before.
