Any thoughts as to which, if any, of last seasons redshirts that could/should have impact this coming season?

Nat Tune, Nick Foster, Kelvin Drake, Sam Owusu-Hemeng, Draylen Ross, Marquis Sykes and Kail Krider are my top choices to make a splash next year. A couple of these may have lost their red-shirt status (such as Drake), but I think most will come in as RS freshen for this Spring practice.

Tune, Foster, Owusu-Heming, and Santiago. I think that Drake has already lost his RS as a member of the green team. One that might do far better than I ever dreamed of is Charlie Neal. He was a misfit in Dickey's system but he could thrive under Dodge.

I still haven't heard if E. Santiago is still on the team. I never saw him on the sideline this last year.

What position is Neal? How was he a misfit?

Santiago is listed on the roster on the website, but then again, Flanigan is still listed as our OC huh.gif

Neal is too small to play DD's smash mouth style.

Yes we are. The good news for Coach Dodge is there is talent. Coach Dickey did not burn a lot of redshirts and did the program right in that particular regard. Santiago will be joining guys like Marquis Sykes, Craig Robertson, Robbie Gordon and others who should raise the level of play.

Harry (or anyone), do you have a bio on Santiago and some of the other redshirts, but mostly Santiago.

Santiago is from El Paso. 6-3, 290 range. My understanding is that he will be asked to play offensive guard for us. He had an very impressive first year on the scout team and appears to be a major contributor for us down the road.

Eddrick Gilmore was listed as 6-5, 250lbs. What if he shows up at 280-300lbs-- do you keep him at DE/LB ?

Esteban Santiago was listed at 6-5, 275lbs. Was a HM all-state at OT and DT in HS. Came into NT to play DT. I thought OT was a better fit for him.

Another player that came in with Santiago was from Houston, Menard Matthew, 6-5, 275lbs, was a DT in HS, then was switched to OT during 2 adays last summer.

Any updates on Josh Alexander, the OT that got hurt, then had surgery?

With the new regime, I'm hoping that we utilize the talent where it is best suited, not where it is needed because of a recruiting deficit. I believe that Santiago made all-state mention because of his defense. We need defensive linemen badly.

Another misassigned player IMO is Venegas. Another all-state DEFENSIVE player who was placed out of position. If you'll recheck your tapes/DVDs you'll find that he had more 'lookout' blocks than any other lineman. At least I found that to be true. But, as a former all-state wrestler I think that he'd be a natural for a defensive tackle.

We don't know who the DL coach will be but I hope that he is able to give these two a look at DT.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
