I'd assume he'll compete for a corner spot. Why would you waste a ship on a return specialist?

I never under estimate the importance of special teams. But I agree he should get a good look at corner.

So this guy will be playing the in 2007? Is it possible to go back and edit our "Who will score the first touchdown" thread to accomidate the OSU version of RW McQuarters (not the NFL version...nobody wants that)

With as many DB's as TD has been recruiting and now adding a JUCO to the mix, along with Raif Lundreen(sp?). It kinda makes you wonder what Td thinks of our current DB's. All we had been hearing was how athletic they were and their potential. Maybe TD doesn't see enough there from our current group. Thoughts??

Redshirt most newcomers ? An additional year to learn system & mature.

I would say BOTH positions!

I hope so based on the video. Good coverage, but I really like how he comes up and supports the run...not afraid to lay the wood!

Add to what I said earlier the fact that TD's upcoming recruiting classes (i.e., 2008-2010) should blow the doors off of the 2007 recruiting class. Won't provide too much incentive to keep the 2007 class around for a 5th year.

The fact that this player (Roman) has exceptional talent AND two years experience would put him ahead of any of our corners. TD has acknowledged the athleticism of our corners but they do not have that much experience. Green is the most experienced. He played considerably last year but just enough to letter the year before. Both Bush and Chatman played in all 12 games last year but Chatman was mostly on special teams. Nurudeen, if I remember correctly, only played in 8 games at Baylor and as a non-scholarship player you know that he didn't get a lot of playing time. So we have talent and athleticism but not the experience.

Personally, I look at Chatman more as a safety so maybe he gets moved there since we will lose four of our top five safeties.

You can never have enough athletes at DB. DB's get hurt, you have to face 4 and 5 WR sets these days, and DB's are the athletes that fill out the majority of special teams. Not to mention, we spent most of spring with our DB's struggling with hamstring injuries. He will get a legitimate shot to start.

Another point that I meant to make about our current CBs. Most had little experience as a DB in high school. Green played both ways but his highest acclaim was as a receiver. Bush was moved to quarterback and played that position as a senior. Chatman played his senior year as a running back. Washington, also transferred to quarterback in high school, was moved to wide receiver. I believe that they are the only ones with playing experience at North Texas. I don't believe that Oubre has played at North Texas and I can't find out a word about Nurudeen (of course, he didn't play at NT). Of the redshirts, only Gordon was primarily a DB, as far as I can tell. Neal played mostly on offense. If Ealey is made a corner, he would be another that has more experience of the offensive side of the ball.

While I'd think that he was recruited largely for his return ability, it is refreshing to have a player who is experienced at playing cornerback.

I like this sign bt it still doesn't address the fact that we don't have a physical imposing hitter at the safety spot. I am hoping that Roy Loren fits that bill this season but we need to get some younger guys that will be here for awhile. Perhaps the young man from Vernon will fit that bill.

Harry, I'm hoping that Bron Hager will be that player. He will be a strong safety and that's the hitter. I see Williams as more of a Knowlton/Weathers type; a smart player who knows where to be and will make a lot of tackles.

He looked very good at blocking kicks as well... He must be very fast.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      Agree on JMU, they have a strong brand, fan base, and admin. that makes the right choices. For those same reasons I'd put App. State at #2.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      MWC is a push in overall terms from before the raid to after. Still a solid G6 but lower than the AAC in my mind. PACx has survived, which is all one can really expect for a conference that got shattered in the realignment. But the 2 legacy P4 schools cannot elevate that new version higher than the G6 bunch. Both of the conferences will get low-to-mid TV coverage, and fill the late schedule spots. For the AAC, I'm happy with Army over SMU. I wish we could have pulled Air Force, but so be it. I do expect the PACx to make another run at Memphis, that should be interesting. Fun fact: I've been tracking the realignment via a spreadsheet. As of the NIU change, 46 teams have changed conferences since OUT announced their move to the SEC.

      Transfer Portal Hits pre First Responder Bowl

      Because Morris & Cobbs believed they didn't need to. I think McGill, Harris, & Evans are returning, but who knows if Harris or Evans will even be healthy? We added Becks from MOSt, and Hawkins from HS in OK, but who knows what they bring? I don't know that McGill is a starting caliber RB in the AAC. If you think Porter should have been scholarship'd, you're second-guessing Pat. I doubt anyone around here really wants to second-guess Pat's judgement of talent. OR (and this is doubtful), Pat pushed to have Porter 'shiped, but Morris said "no". If that's the case, and Porter goes on to ball-out at UTEP while we struggle in the run game, it's another log on a growing fire under Morris' seat.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      The PAC stands a real chance of becoming the 'Big East of the West', but I think they'll still be fighting to get into the CFP each year with the rest of the G5. MWC obviously is a huge downgrade since they're the conference that got raided. The best thing they have going for them is stability. Outside of AFA and, to a lesser degree, NIU and UNLV, no one has any interest in those schools. AAC did well with the Army pickup. What happens in the next few years under the new commissioner will be important. As a conference, we've scheduled ourselves into a one bid joke like Sun Belt or CUSA. They've gotta figure out some strategy there. For football, it's hard to say we're better or worse off than last year. SMU going to the CFP was a fluke compared with the past 30 years, but I imagine they'll be a stronger program in general than they were in the AAC due to the amount of money and attention the ACC brings. At least while it lasts...

      I started to do "official" game threads almost 20 years ago for the men's games to try and create some order, but I don't mind when others do.
