Serge

[SMU Football Blog]

I am really surprised.

But he will be an excellent back up (for now) with a chance to improve and really push the current starters.

I sure hope he's not going to be a backup the whole year...if that's the case, I wouldve much rather had him redshirst, get in shape, and have a chance to contribute more as a starter next year. We're pretty thin at DT, I know, but from what I've heard he should be one of our most talented DT's, if he's going to play, I'd like him to start

Awesome news. Will someone please give us an update on how he's look in practices and scrimmages? Based on the recruiting hype, I expect big things, but I haven't seen any reports regarding how he's played thus far.

He looks a little like a hybrid of Brandon Bonds and Adrian Haywood — he can hold his ground against big blockers in the running game, and also has a burst that should let him get into the backfield and make plays. Pretty quick and pretty good pursuit for a big guy — coaches love 300-pound guys who can move. He also has very strong hands, which he uses pretty effectively to keep blockers from locking on to him too tightly. How fast he gets comfortable in the defense remains to be seen, but it appears some real tools are there.

Glad to hear the young man will get to play. Sounds like he did a good job taking care of business this summer.

To say the least. Elizee really hit the books hard this summer, and performed well in the classroom.

Anytime you're dealing with the NCAA on something like this you can expect delays, illogical rulings, and general BS. But I guess I'm preaching to the choir here...

Yes you are! Couldn't say I expected a favorable ruling, but it sure is nice.

Quick 300 pounders are just what we need.

Congrats Serge and Go Mustangs

By "back up" it's my understanding that we will be rotating our line quite a bit, especially against Tech, which AVERAGES 6' 6" 330 on their O-Line, so he'll see plenty of playing time regardless.

Dare I say there seems to be a "Serge" of excitement on PonyFans.com this morning?

Settle down BUS. You sound like a 5 year old on Christmas morning.

Good news, indeed. Welcome to the S.M.U. Mustangs, Serge!

As I wrote on another thread, with Serge now eligible, WE WILL WIN CONFERENCE USA!!!



Am I serious? You be the judge.

Serge sounds like a guy that PB had on one of his K-State teams...what was his name; sounded like Fatafayhee I think

[Horseshoe]

OH HELL YES!
Welcome Serge!

[Pony Fan]

Where is ol' stallion with his expert knowledge of everything. No comment from his section?

[davidsmu94]

WELCOME SERGE !!! This will really help our DL as it puts another quality athlete ( big & quick ) in the DL rotation. Now that this pressure of not knowing is off this young mans shoulders, I think you will see him really develope as part of the DL.
