Synopsis:

Defense good. Still waiting on Jenkins and Hoston, may be a while, Baulkman accilmating, Means to TE, Muhammed is a hack and Vito hates Shanbour.

Oh, scrimmage moved to 9:05am and no news will be given on injuries.

[Ben Gooding]

Believe it or not, but fighting is good at this stage of camp.

Nothing against Means or Chumley, but man is that a reflection of the old staffs poor recruiting/ talent evaluation.

[TreeFiddy]

This is really disappointing news about Jenkins and Hoston.  They gave every indication that things were good to go on their twitter accounts.  Not sure if either has a redshirt option available, but grades should be in by now.  If they don't get in the mix soon, I am not sure what kind of position they will be in to contribute this season.

Just ask Cooper Jones.

Maybe the worst 5-year stretch of QB recruiting in NCAA history, just looking at production. 9 QBs signed by Mccarney in those 5 years: Cooper Jones, Andrew McNulty, Brent Osborn, Brock Berglund, Dajon Williams, Josh Greer, Connor Means, Caleb Chumley, and Damarcus Smith. 9 quarterbacks, who had a combined 31 seasons of eligibility left at the time of their signings, combined to win a total of 5 games in which they started at the division 1 level. 1 of which was against FCS Nicholls State.

Just noticed we have 18 WRs and soon to be 4 TEs on the roster.

We didn't exactly have an environment that was conducive to developing QBs.  Personally, I think a couple of those names had tons of potential but we just ran that talent out the door.

But, yeah, you're point still stands...

Yeah, and aren't we chunkin' 20k a month into Mccarneys checking account for the next X years too? Makes me want to strangle RV. Shit. Show. 

[TreeFiddy]

More like $50k/month.
