Last nights spring game was very well done. From the parking to post game player access everything was excellent. Hats off to SU .
I focused on a few areas and had an opportunity to spend some quality time before and after the event with a few of the families.
Without sharing too much out of school here are some highlights.
QB room is in good shape. 4 capable players. Expect Shrader to be here for 2 more seasons now that we have a new O. Hes pumped. Great kid and an amazing family who we got to know at the Vtech game. He has wonderful parents and support and it shows.
Lamson is the real deal. He really likes SU and is also pumped about the new OC and Beck. Said he had learned so much this year. Hes the smallest of our QBs but still has NFL size. Im 6 3 and hes taller than me .
Dan is enormous. Im not sure how tall he is . Id say 6 5 in cleats and hes a bruiser. Ripped and thick.
Also got to spend time with our new RB from NJ and his family. Super people and what a nice guy. Same with Price. We landed two really good kids in them.
Josh as i posted earlier is full go in June and Bliech according to his own words is full go for the fall.
My other long talk was with Thompson. Again great kid. My takeaway is that Dino has built a great culture here. The team is tight and this is 100% Shraders team. Hes a magnet with the guys. Not a talker but a leader which doesn't surprise me on bit as his parents are exceptional.
Last point. Our new OC is a very serious, very smart man. You wouldn't want to mess with him. He has a factor that i rarely see in business or life. Guy is no BS and we are very lucky to have him.
This team will be much better than last in all aspects other than the Dline which is very young, thin, and undersized. DL is our Achilles.
I expect us to be much improved but the schedule is so tough i can see a better team but possibly not a better record.
If chemistry and good people equaled wins we would be undefeated.
Great event, great night.
Go Orange!
