Not sure this is really indicative of Martin’s stock rising. Each QB (Aune, Bean, and Martin) got two lines mentioning them, with Aune getting play of the day.

Also, separate prediction. I’m thinking we see Upton Stout as true freshman who gets some playing time this season. Undersized but I think he fits that nickel role really well as a corner/safety hybrid, and LeAndre Davis leaving the team could help boost him up the depth chart sooner.

Morris has been getting his name called a bit too.

You think he trends ahead of Burke, Weaver and Nichols in the true freshmen class of DB's?

I think he’ll be playing nickel while Burke and Nichols are more true safety types and Weaver is a true corner. So not really looking at it that way.

I like Stout there too.   And I know I said this last year (and because of Shorter, I was wrong), but I think this season Ogunmakin breaks out.  His name has popped up often so far this Fall.

Agreed. I still think it's a two horse race for the QB spot.

I think Gibbs will get the start at the nickel, but I could see Stout pushing for playing time. Curious where Jevin Murray stands in all this. He had an incredible offer list out of high school. 

As for the other safeties I like Morris and Sanders to start.

I would think we see a lot more Greg White and Ogunmakin because I know both have great talent, and they have had a whole season under their belt experience wise.

Kind of surprised to see Deonte Simpson’s name so little. I still think he’s our starter on the outside opposite Shorter, but having Ogunmakin behind them is a great asset. Not to mention 3 freshmen behind them who all had multiple P5 offers when we signed them out of high school (Kealon Jackson, Detraveon Brown, Loronzo Thompson). That’s a great situation to have, and whoever emerges from that talented group will likely be all-CUSA caliber.

I am hoping we see one of the younger guys play Sanders out of a spot. He seems like a passable player, not a liability, but I just didn’t see much playmaking ability from him. Don’t see him covering a lot of ground in coverage and he got blocked out of plays too easily and frequently. We do have a lot of talented secondary players, including a good bunch who had P5 offers in high school. Would be nice to have some playmakers in the secondary again, not just do your job guys.

I am a Gibbs fan, but I have noticed that Keelan Crosby has been mentioned a couple of times in the workout/practice articles.  Jevin Murray was a beast in high school.  It is good to have options.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Are you pleading for the student body to show up or alumni? A 6:30 game on a Wednesday is a B for someone that doesn’t live in close proximity. I live in Allen and could never consider that drive. We go to Americans hockey games as they are in our back yard. They aren’t very good but more of a deterrent for us to go to more, is no one is there….on a Tuesday night. If there stands were filled, it would feel more legit and we’d probably go more, even if the quality of play wasn’t there. I suspect the student body wants that same ‘experience’. When I was there so many years ago, we wanted to be where the action was, even if it was dash riprocks. So I see a bit of chicken and egg here. People don’t go because people don’t go. If people would go, more people would go. football games are so much easier to plan for. 1 game a week, generally on a Saturday. You can make a day/event out of it. Weekly, more frequent basketball games, on weeknights, don’t offer the same advantages. All that said, I applaud your plea and hope that the tides change. Would love to hear that the Pit is packed routinely.

      According to Burton, and I'm sure it's the same with some men's teams, some of the intra-TX teams that you'd think would bring more fans will only come play us if we give them a check. I think investing more in our schedule would be worth it for the larger crowds (plus extra tickets/concessions sold). Stop scheduling Mississippi Valley State. Get a UTA, Texas State, SHSU, LA Tech, UTEP, or SFA in here. Renewing rivalries with WKU and MTSU would also be fun. Agreed, I feel like there was more in the concourse a few seasons ago? But now it is mostly bare and dead. I would like to see somewhere on the concourse a spirit shop you walk through, like the Hangar at the AAC in Dallas. Perhaps it could be the on-campus NIL Store to provide an easy opportunity for our athletes to make more NIL earnings.

      It definitely starts with the students. There are too many alumni I've talked to my age or older who have still never been to a basketball game at The Pit. It is much easier to get them back if they've already experienced a game in the Mac/Hodge era. Otherwise it'll probably never happen. What is confusing though is how 7000+ people showed up last January to watch us beat SMU, the players invited the students to come party with them on the court, and students decided not to come back.
