I clicked on #29 Joe Sturdivant and got #38 Tony Hawkins

[BUS]

You know what the BUS looked at. The OL shows 15 guys from 285 on up. OK I hope they are mean and 10 of them have good feet.

We have 6 DT's but after Bonds and Jones they get to Adami the MAN at 278. Cool And the some little guys. ( for that position )

We also show 7 DE's in the 245+ range. I hope they are fast.

I know that I do not understand Bennett's philosophy on D but you know... I hope he teaches me a lesson this year. I am open to learn.

GO MUSTANGS

For the Ponies to mirror Bennett's K-State defenses, here's what I remember was crucial in Manhattan:

1) a stud mike linebacker (e.g. Simoneau)

2) hard-hitting safety (don't remember the name but single digit number...8 or something)

3) serviceable d-lineman that takes up space (the big islander guy-Fuapulu or something like that)

4) a db who grows into a shutdown corner (Newman and the guy before him)

For the Ponies to mirror Bennett's K-State squad, they need approximately 50 to 60 JC/CC players on their team. Check out their website, the numbers are that high.

Wanna bet Bennett knows how to recruit those type of players?

[RGV Pony]

Good point. And it all started with the Bishop kid from Blinn.

[Higher Authority]

For the Ponies to mirror Bennett's K-State defenses, here's what I remember was crucial in Manhattan:

1) a stud mike linebacker (e.g. Simoneau)

2) hard-hitting safety (don't remember the name but single digit number...8 or something)

3) serviceable d-lineman that takes up space (the big islander guy-Fuapulu or something like that)

4) a db who grows into a shutdown corner (Newman and the guy before him)

So the answers there are:
1) a combination of Reggie Carrington and D.D. Lee (until Zach Hall is ready)
2) Alvin Nnabuife
3) Mr. Adami and the big boys, Jones and Bonds
4) Akinyemi? Humphrey?

We're not there yet, but by your formula, our pieces to the puzzle aren't that bad.

[Stallion]

that's pretty optimistic- about the only thing Rolando Humphrey has shut down in his first two years would be his favorite bar.

[Hoofprint]

That's a little rough, don't you think? Ro had to learn on the field, as a true freshman, without the benefit of a redshirt year to practice. He made his share of mistakes, as any young player would, but he got a lot better last year.
Besides, he was listed in the earlier post as a possibility, at least the way I read it.
