Updated Roster for Fall Camp

Notice a few new names here. Also see Caleb Chumley at 6'5 244 lbs. If he can stay healthy that kind of size/athleticism down the seams will be hard to stop.

A lot of guys look like they got leaner/hopefully faster. Looks like we're gonna try to go the "Gary Patterson" route of small but fast as hell.

If we ever made an assertive effort to evenly distribute the ball to Kelvin Smith and Caleb Chumley, our O would be damn near impossible to stop. 

Jeff W and Smith running the rock along with Guyton/Smiley/Bussey being our go-to possession guys paired with the 3 or 4 small quick twitch slot guys that we have. But I think our passing game starts with Smith and Chumley. Every QB ever loves long strided big targets. It's a security blanket that is easy to hit and can be put on a hot route every snap. We have to utilize them, preferably early and hopefully often.

That's why Thad Thompson was the leading receiver. Exact same position on the field*

*With the exception of Smith/Chumley running out of the H-back

I think we need to utilize our big weapons in motion, slot, h-back, actual TE, in the screen game, etc.

If Chumley is going to be a big threat for us this year (another question mark), I hope we keep him somewhat under wraps during the Lamar game and let him throw a welcome-to-the-big-stage party on SMU's secondary.

I noticed both McClain and Wilson got number changes

6 & 3 respectively

I hope he catches 4 TD's right down the middle against Lamar.  SMU will then have to commit a Safety and 2 LB's to sit 15 - 20 yds back, giving us a 10 - 15yd  down hill run with our RB's before they hit traffic....

I'd rather hope he catches 4 TD's right down the middle against SMU because they're playing up against the run thinking we're the same-old UNT after watching us run it down Lamar's throats.

When did Connor Means move to LB?  I thought they were giving him a shot a RB???

Between Spring and now.. they had posted up a video and we noticed it a few weeks ago

We talked about this in a thread a little while back. . . . If you look at his body type, it fits the prototypical LB a whole lot better than RB.  And if you look where we need help, I would think it would be more at LB depth than RB depth.

There are 116 listed on the website.  Somewhere I saw that 104 reported and there was no mention of absences.  I don't know what happened to the 12 missing players.  Either some walk-ons dropped out, some were added late, or the number reporting is not accurate.

If I remember correctly, they can start with 120 but at the close of camp only 105 can remain on the squad.

I believe the rules limit the squad to 105 during the fall before school opens.   Others can start practice once the school year starts.

Makes sense to me, although I would have liked to have seen him give the RB position a try.....at least for a practice or two. As I posted a long time ago I witnessed one of his scrambles a couple of springs ago when he was still vying for the QB job.  My response was WOW.

The guy is big and he definitely has wheels. I wish him a speedy acclimation to the new position.

They did last season. Got hurt, though, so didn't see much of him there.

Justin Cain(#85) has been added to the roster as a WR. He "Signed" with us out of Woodrow Wilson HS, although I'm pretty sure he's a PWO

Didn't see new guy RJ Reynolds on 

roster

OL just can't catch a break.  The walkon, Fritsch was listed at the top of the depth chart at left guard at the end of Spring and now isn't even on the roster.

If you haven't seen his PR for a TD from last season , check it out

Whoa!   Who is the dude that closed on him over the last 20 yards like Usain Bolt running down a sloth?   Need to look into recruiting THAT guy.

[southsideguy]

so that linebacker (can't recall his name) who didnt qualify academically but tweeted he was coming back did not make the roster

When was this? If you're talking about Raveon Hoston (he was from SLs first class and a DE), No i don't think he is back... but his twitter says he is a 2-2 and he has been posting workout videos and working with some guy that also works with Jenkins and Hambone

We're talking about Hoston again? lol. The one that got away. I don't understand how he can be 2 for 2, he started his eligibility clock in 2014 and skipped 2016. If you don't play a season can you count that as a redshirt year?
