Any chance Gill or Brown move to DE - might be a tad light but have time to add a few pounds? Also what is their and Ieans speed like? If the three of them have decent wheels their height makes for intriguing WR's.

[Charlie NT 73]

Sam Roberson, the 6-4, 210lbs WR from Somerville HS, and

B.J. Lewis, 6-1, 190lbs WR from Waco Robinson HS are incomming

freshmen also--unles something has changed.

Also, the track star high jumper--I forgot his name-- is suposed to

walk on this fall.

Where is Sam Roberson???

17 seems like alot but then factor in 2 TE's and 1 FB who we had to find positions for. 1 former backup QB who transferred out and is now back, 1 transfer who can't play till next year. And then who is Brandon Dixon???

Is Ieans alowed to play this year?

It does kinda make you wonder how many WRs we should have on our roster?

Roberson's there now. Had omitted him & Casey Fitzgerald.

Side note: Ieans was initially recruited by Arizona as a WR, but came to UNT hoping to play QB.

Roster By Position

Here it is listed by position. The WR's are at the bottom.

Ieans is a very nice athlete...good jumper...and I'm not sure where they're getting 230 from, I'd put him closer to 200-210 unless he's really bulked up recently. He was in the Joey Byerly QB fiasco/compition of a few years ago. He could be a surprise for us...I don't know what kinda hands he has, but an athletic 6'6" wideout is always nice, especially on fade routes from the 2 yard line.

You have to figure 10 receivers may see some regular sort of playing time, the rest? T. Dodge said "competition will bring the cream to the top"; all others may need to find other activities, special teams, etc.

Charlie Brown - 6'4, 239 - Soph.--Too good of hands not to see some playing tme.

Ryan Davenport - 6'2, 228 - Jr. --Probably switch to LB or RB

Brandon Dixon - 6'1, 195 - Sr. -- Won't see the field on game day unless there are a lot of injuries

Evan Fentriss - 6'1, 195 - So. ( x-fer not eligible 'til -08)

Casey Fitzgerald - 5-11, 186 - Jr. -- Can you say STAR. Will equal or surpass his career catches in the SMU game.

Victor Gill - 6'5, 235 - So. -- Good hands, but not fast enough for this offense. Probably be used in goal line situations

Jonathan Ieans - 6'5, 230 - Sr. -- Unless he's gotten about 3,000 times better, he won't play at all on offense, maybe a kick or punt blocker

Brandon Jackson - 6'1, 208 - Sr. -- BJax is set for a good season.

Isiah Smith - 5'8, 170 - Jr. -- Good kid, had worker, but no chance at being a contributor.

Brock Stickler 6'3, 219 - Jr. -- Fans have been waiting for Stickler to shine. He'll get the opportunity this season.

Arthur Stubblefield - 5'10, 180 - Soph. -- Will get a chance at slot receiver, but will continue to be a special teams stud.

Kory Washington - 5'10, 186 - Soph. -- Time to see what real speed can do, if he can catch, watch out.

Sam Dibrell - 6'2, 205 - Fr. -- Will play both slot and on the outside. Could shatter Johnny Quinn's records by the time he's a junior.

Breece Johnson - 6'1, 175 - Fr. -- Second leading receiver in the Metroplex. Should help on the outside.

Roderick Johnson - 6'1,190 - Fr. -- Graduated in 2004. Had pedestrian numbers at Garland Naaman Forest, will have to work to make travel squad.

Marcus King - 6'3, 200 - Fr. -- Had more than 500 yards in a run-based offense. Think Marcus Camper, only taller

B.J. Lewis - 6'1, 190 - Fr. -- Another slot man that will be a threat.

Eric Lichty - 6'1, 175 - Fr. -- Was a decent HS receiver. Made the team as a walk-on, will be lucky to make the travel squad.

Sam Roberson - 6'4, 210 - Fr. -- Big and fast. Will help spread the field.

Evan Walker - 5'11, 185 - Fr. -- Led Metroplex in receiving as a senior, has the talent to break the freshman receiving record.

Please take these comments for what they are worth, which is not much. But I have seen a lot of football in my job as a sports writer.

Where's Diet Coke boy?? I don't see him on that list and I heard he was being moved to WR too.
