Banned for anti-Marxism
Finally a coaching staff with the intelligence to play "the recruiting game" to win, rather than just open up everything to the public for needless transparency.
Debbie Downer question.
Who is taking Bates’ place?
Our backup safeties this year were....not good. As in we could get exposed.
I agree at LB. Nate Mays is the presumed starter at Mike but he didn't play enough to get a feel for the level of play there. Dawson played a ton of snaps. Have to think that we'll see one of the RS Fr. have to step up with Burley or Monroe or possibly Simpson with his little playing time as a freshman. I also don't know what spot DJ Taylor was slotted for as he was the early favorite in August to be the LB with playing time as a freshman until Simpson passed him at some point. We know Strnad with be at Buck but again the younger guys will need to step up as his backup and any injuries at either LB will leave us very inexperienced.
Demetrius Kemp and Ja'Cquez Williams have the rover set pretty well. Behind those two however, I have no idea since the roster has them all listed as LB (which is interesting by itself since in the 4-2-5 there are only 2 LB's and 3 safeties so the Rovers should be listed as DB's). So we have a pair but no clue as to the spare as Clawson would call it and an injury at the position could be tough. Really wish they would list the players on the roster at their actual position expected on the depth chart but I was told by Steve Shutt that they do it for recruiting purposes (I assume so that the recruit can't look at the roster and think that there are too many guys at his specific preferred position).
Is Duke Ejiofor playing in the Senior Bowl this weekend?
Ejiofor was invited to the Senior Bowl but did not attend. Might be awaiting the combine, business decision.
Rice an absolute lock to be homecoming
And Smenda was a recruit we were worried about other teams snatching him away.
Stnard has one locked down. Between Taylor, Simpson, Monroe, Burley, Smenda - we will have some athletic LBs going for that final spot.
Stnard and Smenda at LBs? Sounds like Notre Dame players.

Hopefully no one put money on this. Late homecoming this year, Nov. 3 vs. the cuse
That's a huge shock. Going to be cold for my thinning Florida blood.
Wouldn't be surprised if Smenda plays as a true frosh. Clawson was particularly excited/praising of Smenda, and his tape looked ridiculous.
