I really like the possibilities for the offense for 2012. Derek Thompson and the qb's will be a year older and more mature. The receivers have come on strong the latter part of this year. I do think they will be able to plug in a running back amongst those who have been red shirted, or be brought in via new recruits. I do think if they can address the speed issue on the outside, it could be special. I especially like the opportunities for the OL. We have great holdovers, plus the Feldt brothers coming in. Does anyone else see the upside I do?

QB - Hopefully Thompson can stay healthy.

RB - What about Brandon Byrd? He got a good amount of work last year, and had a 5.0 per carry average. I will say that Zac Whitfield's highlight video blew me away. I don't know much about Jimmerson, but the coaching staff seemed pretty high on him when he signed. Starting RB will probably be up for grabs this spring, but Byrd ought to be in the lead.

WR - A lot of question marks . . . we will probably need to hit the JUCO ranks for one WR.

OL - They have done a pretty good job pass blocking, and hopefully will significantly improve in run blocking by next season. The addition of Cam Feldt will be HUGE in that area.

The offense will improve. Don't know how consistent they'll be, but they'll be able to put up points, unlike the beginning of this season. However, I'm worried about our awful defensive line. Anyone foresee any positives in that area?

I'm not near as concerned about the RB position as I am the DT position. This young man showed a lot of promise during the spring.

This young man seems to have pretty impressive credentials. Does anyone know if he has seen the field this fall?

The RB position is one where a talented recruit can make an immediate impact.

I don't want to bring anyone down more than they already are, but after talking with a few folks, I'm not sure any of us should expect Cam Feldt to be anything close to a dominate player. He might play from lack of depth, but I'm just warning everyone now, this kid probably won't be the dominant o linemen you would expect him to be :ph34r:

Boone, on the other hand, was a great grab and is much more athletic, better motor, better feet, he should be an all conference caliber player in time. Still excited to see what the offense can do with 9 starters back next season.

I have heard those things as well....honestly I hope he is hitting the weights because he doesn't look all that strong. The upside is that he and Boone will feed off of each other and push harder (hopefully) because of the novelty of the situation. The downside is that Boone had at LEAST two concussions this year and that is concerning to say the least.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I saw USF up in the 3rd quarter, but didn't get to see the OT. Any news during the game about if Hawaii will get a new stadium too? I was sad to hear the Aloha Bowl was in such bad shape a couple years ago and it had to be abandoned.

      I’m there with you as one of the few that watched it. I actually didn’t start watching until about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, but still got my money’s worth.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I guess few saw the five overtime slugfest in Honolulu. Oh well I did and it was a blast of a game. Spartans roaring back for Coach Niumatalolo who lost his father last week. A native Hawaiian who played for UH, took his team to the Arizona Memorial for remembrance. Battling it out against a team traveling over 4,600 miles, further than any team this season including that game in Ireland 🇮🇪. That bounce in field goal to send the game into OT as the 4th quarter expired was awesome. A team building, bringing a new stadium to our league, a team seeking consecutive bowl wins after some dire years. Yeah I was one of the few that watched it. Love the storylines and shots of my old island home. It was historic. The most OT’s in bowl history Oh yeah and our conference is 3-1 in the bowl challenge. American rising. GMG

      Dave Fleming New Volleyball Coach

      This is a very surprising pick. Frankly,I don't get it; a very veteran coach; who has coached at the same D2 school forever almost. Why would this coach even be considered a good fit at NT? A .68% winning D2 coach who has apparently never coached at a higher level. Is NT cost cutting? I hope he is wildly successful, it would be hard to not be an improvement over the previous coach. However, this IMO is a very questionable choice.
