The roster has been updated to show incoming freshman and transfers. I see Damien Boone's name has shown up again. He's REAL good ... like if he had the grades initially he'd be playing way up the FBS ladder. Our talent at WR is just sick. I sure hope we can get them the ball.

I am very confident we can get them the ball.

This is an outhouse (wild) guess on three(plus)-deep depth chart for the upcoming football season:
QB -- Rivers, Hazelwood, Almond (Blumenthal, Skinner Redshirted) RB -- Taylor, Llorens, Ch Jones, Flores, Dora (Vaughn, Forde, Green, Bedgood Redshirted) TE -- White, Hawthorne, Hunt (Ficklin Redshirted) WR -- Eagan, Mafi, Bourque, Horne WR -- Co Jones, Fabrizio, Boone, Lazare, Copeland (Kennedy Redshirted) WR -- Ryan, McClain, Irons, Chan Chan RT -- Murphy, Lewis, Boudreaux RG -- Boyd, Bonner, Schuman (Hubbard Redshirted) C -- Hussey, Little, McCalister LG -- Johnson, Perrin, Clay (Zirkle Redshirted) LT -- Wilson, Wiley, Burns K/P -- Wickman, Moore, Shelton (Juneau Redshirted) DS -- Nelson, Whoelert Holder -- Monrose (also a WR) DE -- Armstrong, Marshall, Clark (Prejean Redshirted) DL -- Wheeler, Woodle, Drumgo, Bush, Paul (Matthews Redshirted) DT -- Roberts, Bluiett, Featherston (Morgan Redshirted) DE -- Harmon, Batiste, Thomas (Hooper Redshirted) LB -- Cook, Guidry, Merriman LB -- Clark, Perry, Madumere, Borgerson, Cummings LB -- Myers, Allen, Ross, Van Buren CB -- Green, Mobley, Mukes, McClendon (Littleton, Edwards Redshirted) FS -- Ad Jones, Poullard, Barnes (Reed Redshirted) SS -- Collins, Joseph, Lacey CB -- Walker, Grimble, Rachal (Warren, Raymond Redshirted)
This is a TOTAL guess and if a name isn't included, they are either squad or I overlooked them unintentionally. Nebraska LB transfer, Walton, is no longer on the team. Transfers are total hit or miss and if they miss, Jay moves them on along to other addresses because he's building a program, not a season. Moving forward ... because we've never won a football game with players we didn't have. After rudimentary studies of rosters on other teams, Sam is the obvious favorite in the SLC, then SLU ... after those two there is a traffic jam with McNeese, UCA, NSU and SFA with anyone of these teams having the talent to unseat the top two. Lamar and Abilene should NOT be overlooked and Houston Baptist, Incarnate Word and Nicholls finishing things out. Nicholls will quickly improve, however, under new Coach Rebowe. Frankly, 6-5 or better for us this year will be success as our first four games are absolutely brutal -- SLU, ULL, Miss State and UCA. We need to win two of those, but I'll take one and then hopefully we can catch fire toward the middle to end of the season. We're absolutely loaded at WR. If we can get them the ball, that will open up our run game and our offense "could" be very, very dangerous. If we can't get our WRs the ball, it will be a LONG year. Our defense should be pretty salty, but I think they're young and a year away from any kind of potential dominance. But, we'll see.

I see that running back Ronald Green is not included on this year's roster. That is unfortunate; I was really looking for great things from him. Evidently there was a reason that we (NSU) were able to land the number two running back in the state last year. I am guessing that his academics were not up to the task. Perhaps a year at a junior college might get him back on track.

I think Green is redshirting to get his student life in order.

If that is the case, then that is the obvious priority. Sure hope that things work out for the young man. I would like to see him be able to return and continue what began on a high note.

Yes Ronald is redshirting to get his academics in line. What happened with Jaevon?

I am not "exactly" sure what happened to Walton, but I'm guessing it was either disciplinary in nature or he saw he wasn't going to start immediately and wanted to go somewhere else. If I had to pick one, I'd pick disciplinary issues because he was talented enough to start by next season and Jay doesn't have a long rope with guys who can't comply with team rules. In such cases, he usually hands them a pink slip if they can't buy in to what he, the coaches and the team are doing and wishes them the best.

I heard just this past week that we may have another linebacker on the way. Anybody have any confirmation of this development? Just curious, it wouldn't hurt to have another 'backer.
