[confucius say]

Being as though we are less than 4 weeks from preseason camp, any insight into what is expected?

QB - Shapen, LK, Taylor
RB - Booth, Bothwell, Daniels
TE - British
WR - ?

Defense?

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

I'm not a football guy... is Luke Kromenhoek not that good? Shapen still the man?

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.

As for Shapen, yes he QB’d the Toledo game. Our first 3 drives in that game had 2 killer penalties and 2 sacks where Shapen had about a second to throw. On our fourth drive, we get a false start penalty at the 1 after Shapen had driven us down there and had to settle for a FG. 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.

Our defense gave up 41 points and our offensive line simply didn't show up.

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

Defense I'm guessing Kai McClendon, Branden Jennings, Isaac Smith, Kelley Jones, and Stonka will be the most familiar faces.

[BuckyIsAB****]

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.

[cheewgumm]

I would play Kamario as quickly as I could.

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

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.
