I'll say it again, and I've said it from day one....watch out for Draylon Ross.

It will be interesting to see how Rucker progresses. A 6'6 WR is a huge advantage. Wonder how fast he is and what his verticle is??? Could be a big weapon to have in the red zone.

I don't know his vertical but his 40 speed was listed at 4.56.

Offense way ahead of schedule. You could tell who put in some major league time this summer. Several drops by WR's people are raving about. The steady group of Stickler, Casey, Dibrell, and both Breece and Rod looked the part. Rucker is fairly polished for a young receiver. Rucker played in the slot tonight.

OL is going to be very competitive and interesting to see who comes out on top. Let's face, Juco's are brought in to play, but will they be able to pick up the system and be comfortable in a two point stance. Major league competition in the secondary.

Very good opening practice. Pads on Friday is a can't miss.

If anyone attends practice....here are some of the new players numbers. You have to guess since the Ath. Dept. hasn't updated the roster on the official site:

John Shorter---18

Desmond Brigham---1

Kenny Barrett--81

Forrest Rucker---89

Nate Jenkins---79

Gabe Hollivay---69

Brandon Akpunku---47

I hope I'm right on those......

Rucker is going to be really fun to watch. With him and Sam Roberson we have really tall and athletic WRs.

Thanks for the information. Will to Win and I were out there last night and had trouble putting names to numbers, except for Hollivay, Jenkins, and Rucker. They kind of stand out.

Deloach was really getting after the defense, and I think they will work far better as a unit this season.

The offense looked very sharp for the first day, but that could change next week when the pads go on.

Nice article. Good comments on the skill positions and Draylen Ross. Too bad about Fentriss. I really wanted to see him in this offense, but if we had to lose a player, at least it is at our deepest position. Sounds like Rodge needs a RS year to mature physically, which would be a good thing allowing another year between him and Vizza. Nice comments on the RB's too.

Practice starts at 7pm everyday this week (helmets today, shells Wednesday and Thursday and full pads Friday) and should be open.

just a thought here - Rodge will be backup by the time Sun Belt games start.

89 is a great college end number

      WBB vs. Rice

      Yes CC Kid .. I noticed the same. Great effort - mostly in 2nd half. Slow starts have hurt. We can rule out a couple games, but this does seem to be fairly common. And you can see the diff. when it happens. just look a the NT vs Memphis mens game .. intense from the start and entire game focus affected. But hey, the teamsare doing really well this year !!

      PAC is back

      I grew up with "Eagles" and have never liked " Mean Green ", because we are not mean [look at our football record ] and not green [ we have an underfunded athletic department.] I agree with lack of media contracts as a deal breaker but don't know if we would want the travel required for all sports anyway. The BIG MOUNTAIN WEST podcast brought the subject up stating that the PAC and Texas State were in serious discussions and if they came then UNT or UTSA would be their next logical target so you may want to watch it. I don't have an opinion as I am really surprised that NIU joined the MWC for football only. According to the MAC bylaws you must have all your programs in the conference in order to be a member. Unless they change them then NIL's best option appears to be the MVC for all other sports but who knows.

      Nice Article: Maintaining Success

      as a lot of big time coaches have said... if you want to immediately improve your team, getting everyone's effort levels up will do that... Since McCasland started his run, the Mean Green have been all about effort, and Hodge has done an excellent job of transitioning into the HC role. It's been talked about ad nauseum, but the Mean Green have an identity. The identity is f*ck you, you aren't going to get easy passes, be able to breathe with the ball in your hands and you're going to be complaining to the refs all game about how physical the team is. It's going to be ugly, and we are betting that we are going to be better than you in the last five minutes of the game. Credit to Hodge for bringing in the right players to keep this thing moving forward. I am looking forward to the rest of the season and hoping for some hardware

      SMU 's New Facility

      the facilities look great. Unfortunately, unless things change around Denton quickly, the reality is that SMU is playing a completely different game than the Mean Green, good luck to you, but i don't know why you are coming on here to post topics of a team you probably won't play again for a long time... (maybe basketball) Good luck to you.
