Funderburk "Earned the opportunity..."

I think the WR class is going to be decent this year. Much improved from last year anyway. With Hunts progression I'm hoping we have a competent passing attack with improvement to follow every year there after.

Earned is one thing. Lets see the results on the field

Sounds like he wasn't getting his work done off the field to give him the opportunity to contribute on game day. Sounds like he might be turning it around, lets see it Q!

I believe he was in the 3.0 GPA club, which must be quite a turnaround. Good for him

I'm excited about our group of WR's this year. Lots of talented new guys to go along with what I think will be some much improved returning players. Can't wait to see how the depth chart shakes itself out come fall.

Agree, but it seems like the story with this kid extends pretty far beyond the field. If all of the off the field stuff is resolved and he is re-focused, that's a pretty good sign at this point. He could have such a huge impact on the field. We need him to because the young WR talent won't be ready early in 2014, if at all.

It sounds to me (with absolutely zero factual knowledge to back it up) that the coaches are trying everything to get the talent out of this kid.

They tried yelling, they tried motivation by demotion, they tried suspending him. didnt work.

now they try to motivate him by showing him his importance.

It could absolutely work. But that's how I'm reading this.

I think Shafer hasn't been playing games with the media on this. I think he's been pretty upfront about it.

Love to read about his academic progress. Most important thing.

Good recruiting pitch for the kind of players we want, also. Straight talk for the parents.

I wanna see some Funder Thunder, too!

Classic approach. Break you down, and build you back up.
