We Got a Roster

[Uncle Ruckus]

No, it seems Wheat has been moved from WILL to SAM, so same edge position as Davis. He's listed that way on the roster and Paul Jones confirmed.

Just read that. That’s very interesting. I don’t know much at all about him, but he doesn’t see like the typical edge guy. Lawson has been moved from SAM to DE, so maybe it’s a depth move. Strange one to move though. From safety to basically a stand up de in two years.

[RiverCityDawg]

Marquis Spencer listed as being 300lbs was interesting to me. That's good for a 3 man front DE playing on the same side as the SAM.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Some that I noticed. I always like to look at the freshmen going into their soph year and the weight gain some attain with a training table and a strength program.

King Ani from 6-4 230 to 255
De'monte Russell from 6-4 230 to 250
Jalen Mayden dropped 10 pounds
Lee Witherspoon dropped 10 pounds
Kobe Jones dropped 10 pounds
Cole Smith from 6-3 285 to 305
LaQuinston Sharp from 6-3 315 to 300
Kameron Jones from 6-5 325 to 305
"Dolla Bill" Johnson from 6-7 330 to 315
Charles Cross from 6-5 270 to 290

TE room...or what was the TE room
Geor'quarius Spivey from 6-5 250 to 240
Brad Cumbest from 6-5 250 to 245
Dontea Jones from 6-4 250 to 230

Some i'm not sure are positives....
Dareuan Parker from 6-4 330 to 355
James Jackson from 6-3 315 to 330 now on the OL
Marquiss Spencer from 6-4 285 to 300

Another notable:
Erroll Thompson from 6-1 250 to 250 Yeah...no change, at least on paper. I thought he was heavier and a step or two slower last year. I'll guess we'll see.

[MrCoachKlein]

The Sam backers have to play a 4-3 de role at times in this scheme. Saw a quote from one of the coaches not too long ago, so 260 probably a good weight for that in between role.

From what little I know, Errol has added muscle and leaned up a bit so that's a good trade.

[HoopsDawg]

Those Cole Smith and Charles Cross weight gains are a plus.

[msu15]

Taury Dixon has been a DB since he's been here from Scooba, moved to WR.

[msu15]

Quite a few guys walked on this year out of juco

[maroonmania]

Tyler is listed because he's holding onto his scholarship, which under the new rule he can do and not play.

I thought we were told specifically that Tyler Williams was not an opt out issue for COVID-19? Something else is going on with him.

Proportion matters

Yea, I didn't think Errol was necessarily too heavy last year, he just didn't look like he was in shape. If he just lost ten lbs of fat and replaced it with ten lbs of muscle, that might be fine. Hell, it looked like he was carrying 15 or more extra lbs last year, but I'm guessing it wasn't that bad.

Yes I agree with this

Thanks captain obvious

[R2Dawg]

New rule change this season allows 0, but not 00 (which I hate, give me a Robert Parrish 00!)

Darryl Wilson 00

[R2Dawg]

Those Cole Smith and Charles Cross weight gains are a plus.

If Cross kept his quickness, watch out.

[Jack Lambert]

Wheat is going play OLB at 260?

Cole Smith over 300 is good.

Charles Cross is 290. Is that what we're hoping for?

Power Warren is listed. No opt out.

Tyler Williams is listed. Is that interesting?

I take the height and weight with a grain of salt. That is always fudged.

[Jack Lambert]

That's what she said.**

Girth matters.

[BiscuitEater]

Tyler is listed because he's holding onto his scholarship, which under the new rule he can do and not play.

Think he has to be in school if he chooses to 'opt out.'

Don't think he can 'hold his scholarship' without actually being there!

Seriously, if you are not in school why would you even need a scholarship?
