Shafer expresses appreciation for the hospitality of Fort Drum. Let them come practice inside on Tuesday, move scrimmage up today.

Shafer says the team ran 60-70 plays. Notes George Morris (50-yard TD run) and Terrel Hunt as top performers.

Shafer says the backup QB job is between rSo. Austin Wilson and freshman Eric Dungey. That's a bit of a surprise.

Juwan Dowels, Steven Clark, Jordan Fredericks and Dontae Strickland are other top performers.

Shafer said QB AJ Long is still coming back from the broken bone in his hand. Threw 100 balls yesterday.

Shafer said the staff is still taking its time getting DE Ron Thompson and DT John Raymon back. Initial plan was 3 weeks for Thompson.

Shafer wants the young safeties to be able to help in kicking game, provide depth.

Shafer says this has been SU's best year at Fort Drum.

Shafer says Eric Dungey and Austin Wilson are in a battle for the No. 2 quarterback spot.

Shafer says AJ Long is still day by day with a right hand injury and he can't be in a position battle if he's not on the field.

Still eary but Enoicy struggling is one of he reasons myself and a few others were calling for more then just one WR recruit in this years recruiting class. The lack of positive news so far this camp on Enoicy, Custis and Avant is very troubling.

Avant has been very good as I understand it so don't know what you mean there.

Well, this is a first, very interesting and, I think, expected from what everyone's seen and heard.

Dungey challenging Wilson for the #2 spot is awesome. Not that I have anything against Austin, I definitely do not, but for a true frosh to be in the battle for the #2 spot is definitely a positive in my book.

I don't pump up walkons but the kid is curious. He's 10.97 100 meter track kid from Detroit. Did make all-state. Has some impressive HS video. If only he weren't a midget but like I said, he's an interesting prospect, maybe in the return game down the road.

He's got a bit of Sproles in him. Joystick/video game type movement and slippery. Would love to see him fielding punts at some if he's capable of tracking them in the air.

Hats off to CL and OX for getting all this info posted on the website today. It was much appreciated. Even got to tip the hat to the guys at PS they did a decent job too.

Hey I'm excited at the thought that we might get to cover bowling tonight.

Seconded. Taking reps from Wilson already. Womack gets moved. Praise from the #1 WR.

What do U mean? The Womack move isn't permanant

 

[texascpa]

So no paintball this year?

 

[orangepassion]

Called it!

I wanted him to get more of a chance at QB, but with his throwing ability, he could be interesting at Hybrid

 

[orangepassion]

After last year's futility, you just get the sense that this year's offense is going to be SO MUCH MORE potent. Not that they are going to be where they are dominant or anything, just much more efficient / effective.

Healthy OL + senior QB with something to prove + better playmakers + some explosive playmaking talent [finally] + better play calling = a lot more points

The key is the OL

Tomorrow morning.

I added the second page of the camp schedule to the beginning of this thread.

If I remember right, that bowling alley has a mean philly cheese steak.
