Before the portal we could name the roster 2 deep. Now haven't a clue.Quote:

Didn't Shapen QB the Toledo game?
Kromenhoek is a more talented version of Fitzgerald. He can play and COULD be deadly in this system. Unfortunately for him, he may have the second coming of Cam Newton also in the QB room with him.Quote:

Our 5th drive, after we are down 21-3, Shapen again gets sacked and it kills the drive. You can blame stuff on Shapen last year, but the Toledo game is not something he should catch blame for.
Don't understand the blame that Shapen gets for Toledo at all. If he threw 3-5 interceptions and was below 50% completing his passes and maybe had a fumble or two in there then Ok.Quote:

A lot of new faces. Shapen, Booth, Traore, and Albert Reese might be the only familiar ones on offense.Quote:

Shapen is pretty good and we probably win the Egg with him at QB. I dont know anything about Hawk. But I can tell you this, Kamario Taylor is the best QB we have ever signed out of HS. At the state championship game you could hear the ball leave his hand and that was with 25k in the stands. He is the real deal. I think he needs to play. It would be huge for this fan base to have another player to really rally around that loves State.
He's going to be special. I want to see how he looks against some of the OOC teams before we play him more. I usually typically err on the side of redshirting with QB's because of the level of development that most need even if they are elite.Quote:

If he?s what they say, sooner the better.
It will help everything - probably recruiting in MS to name the most obvious.
I'll take a really wild guess at the depth chart
QB- Blake Shapen with Kamario Taylor as the back up.
RB1- Davon Booth
RB2- Fluff Bothwell
RB3- Xavier Gayten
H-Back/FB- Max Reese
WR- Ayden Williams
WR- SanFrisco Magee
Slot- Brenen Thompson- he seemed to appear a lot on highlight videos from MSU.
Slot- Cam Thompson
Slot- Anthony Evans
WR- Markus Allen
WR- Ricky Johnson
TE- Sam West
H-Back/WR- Seydou Traore
Secret redzone weapon- Emeka Iloh
C- Brennan Smith
G- Trevor Mayberry
G- Blake Steen
LT- Albert Reese
RT- Jimothy Lewis
DE- Trevion Williams if he is healthy, maybe Jaray Bledsoe
DT- Will Whitson
DT- Kai McClendon
DE- Jamil Burroughs- I have a really good feeling about him
MLB- Branden Jennings
OLB- Jalen Smith or Zakari Tillman
EDGE- Raishen Thomas or Malik Sylla- probably in that order
STAR- Isaac Smith
CB- Kelley Jones
CB- Dwight Lewis
S- Jahron Manning
S- Tony Mitchell
S- Stonka
K- Kyle Ferrie
P- Ethan Pulliam
KO- Marlon Hauck
LS- Ethan Myers
KR/PR- Cam Thompson
KR/PR- Brenen Thompson
I'm honestly surprised it didn't help last year. You can tell the guy is special. I do like that we have his brother committed and I like Jayden Cration and Zayvion Cotton as weapons for the future. We need some more weapons for the future like JJ Hill but we are off to a decent start there.Quote:
