Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 653023, member: 27"] Some general comments... West looked like our best WR by far in the spring. Flemming has always had the potential, it will be a great story if he can emerge as a senior and have a big season. Clark looked solid as well, I think he is our 3rd option at WR. Kobena should be a good situational player. There is room for 2 more in the WR rotation. Cornelius looked promising in the spring, Lewis wowed people in the fall and Funderburk might have the most potential of anyone in the group. I agree, the staff is sending him a message pairing him with a walk on at 3rd string. Looks like they added Broyld as an H-back after forgetting about him initially. Believe he is still a big factor in the plans for the offense this season. They should have moved Jacob Green to H back as well. He was impressive in the spring too. If we have an extra scholarship (OX says so), I wonder if it goes to him? The pistol formation needs a good fullback to be successful. Moving AAM there signals to me that we are going to use the pistol formation a lot and they want someone back there that can not only block but also be a factor running the ball. AAM might not like being moved but it will be the best thing for him in terms of getting PT and possibly a shot at the next level. I think he is listed on the 2nd team for motivational purposes as well. Think Thompson was moved to DE because the staff realized the need for a DE who can pressure the QB, someone quick who can get to the outside edge. Welsh and Robinson are not bad at pass rushing but I think they are more contain types there, whose strength is more stopping the run. Think this says a lot about how the staff feels about Batten and maybe Moore too. Trejo will probably be the 4th DE just be virtue of showing up. Marquis Spruill was listed at 6'2 223 pounds [URL='http://www.suathletics.com/roster.aspx?path=footballhttp://www.suathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=7420,football&rp_id=7311']as a frosh[/URL]. Now as a senior, he is listed at 6'0, 224. That is not a typical development path for a linebacker, or any college student for that matter. I wonder if he is becoming a [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_star']neutron star[/URL]? If so, his gravitational field should help him get more tackles and sacks. And fumble recoveries, I suppose. [/QUOTE]
