"C: Mitch Enright"

I thought I heard Mitch Enright will be
graduating and will not be returning to the team.

ive been told a number of times that he will be returning.... i think he is getting his MBA or something

He might be going to graduate school, but he isn't getting an MBA unless there have been some serious changes. They wouldn't let David Page work on an MBA his last year of eligibility. That and the bombastic bass stylings of Kelan Luker are the reasons the unprepared Bartel and Wallis were QB's in 2002.

1) p flemming is a linebacker now? since when?

2) he's a starting linebacker?

3) are you a relative? not a criticism at all. just haven't heard anything like this before.

No, I am not a relative.

We are moving to the 3-4, and flemming does not have the size to play DE in the 3-4. The kid made plays last year, so it seems like a good move to get him on the field somewhere..what other options do we have at olb besides true freshman?

[Cadillac]

Robert Parker could make some noise at Linebacker this season.

And what are the odds that one of last years disappointments will make a comeback? Alex Odiari, or maybe Deyon McElroy?

[panhandle_pony]

I like the premise Cadillac but forth regarding a few comeback kids. If Odiari turns it around along with Parker, we may have some real talent and backup at LB. I've also heard rumblings regarding Parker at DE. Could this be correct ?

[GoRedGoBlue]

Lets project an opening day starting line-up for O and D for opening day..Let's assume we go to a base 3-4 for these projections.

Offense:

QB: BLM
RB: Butler/Mcneil
WR: ES
WR: AR
WR: The Truth
WR: Cole Loftin
LT: Kelvin Beachum
LG: Josh LiRiebus
C: Mitch Enright
RG: Bryce Tennison
RT: Josh Emshoff

Defense:

NT: Marquese Frazier
DE: Taylor Thompson
DE: Justin Smart
ILB: Pete Fleps:
ILB: Victor Jones
OLB: Youri Yenga
OLB: Patrick Flemming
CB: Bryan Mcann
CB: Derrius Bell (will be starter after suspension)
FS: Chris Banjo
SS: Ryan Clarke

Where do these players factor in? Julian Heron, Devon Bailey?

I would seriously hope that the JUCO transfers beat our our starters on D

That guy is starting next year. I dont even know anything about him. Except that he was a highly rated high school prospect and has now had 2 years in the college weight room. I just got a feeling.

[ponygrad90]

i would think Bradley Haynes would figure into the wide receiver discussion
and I think willis sees the field at the 4 spot too
both coles back them uo

i like lunday as the running back (bummer he didn't redshirt though)

Bradley Haynes I could see...he has all the tools. Maybe he doesnt grasp the offense? Not a chance willis starts over haynes or either of the cole's. Did you see Cole Loftin play in his limited time VS TCU before he got hurt? dude can ball..he will be very good this year...

As for Lunday...you think he is going to start over Butler and Mcneil? Not a chance..

[gostangs]

Fleming will be great at LB - finally some size and he has decent speed - (originally signed for us as a TE - not that it means he is that fast - but faster then our average LB).

No coles will start all year - we are going with Truth and others in that position. they may play some near the goal line for possesion TD's - but regular line up will not see either cole. Willis may not ever see the field - just not enough height or straight ahead speed.

Dont think Padron starts at LB - I think he will be a back up.

Frazier will start at D tackle.

Clarke will start as well.

so who do you have as the 4th reciever if it is not either cole b or cole L?

[redpony]

What about Evan Huahulu? I thought he had some pretty good plays and seems to be agressive?

GO PONIES!!!

I forgot about wilkerson..i wasnt that impressed with him.. but i know JJ likes him and said he has a chance to be very good. he was learning a new position and new offense last year..he very well could be the 4th reciever...
