We have a huge Jr class right now with 20 or more players and a good size senior class with 10 or more. The Freshman and Soph classes have good numbers and a good blend of atheletes and lineman that could add some more depth at the skill positions by seasons end. Football is a numbers game, the more kids you have out, the more likely you are to find atheletes. Still some very capable NO SPORT atheletes roaming the halls, would love to see them, as well as a few of those basketball guys come out for football. But right now, we are looking good as far as numbers go.

You cant replace a Connor Messer, he is a once in every 5-10 year type of kid and last years Young never really found that chemistry in another reciever like he seemed to have with Trey Potter, which IMO, really affected us late in the playoffs and against Ironton, losing him was a bigger blow than anyone in ramland thought it would be in retrospect, rather they care to admit it or not. Hopefully, which ever dual threat QB we decide to go with, be it Davidson, Black, or Christian, hopefully they can develop a little bit of consistency in the passing game with Austin Howard, Josh Clark, and John Cherry, I believe that is who will end up getting the reciever jobs unless someone else knows a bit more than me.

If we would have had blance against Wburg last year, we would have been in Bowling Green. The play calling was balanced, but there was nothing there when the throw was on, when the recievers got seperation, the throw was long. (Credit alot of that to Wburg) Unless you are Belfry, you cant live on bread alone and expect to win championships if you cant have a productively balanced offense.

Okay...ive had enough. Is it August yet?

I disagree you have to replace Connor but not with one player , but with multiple players , moving Nathaniel to safety makes the defense more physical , along with Carson at he other safety for coverage . Connor was a great cover safety but not physical at all so you take two players and replace him there , on offense last year connor was used more of a decoy because everyone was keying on him , this year Howard moves into his reviewer spot very fast kid along with John cherry , if Nataniel isn't the qb he will be on offense somewhere probably at receiver , if not I look for Carson to move to receiver again replacing connor with multiple kids , and let's be honest not one of those basketball kids would help at all , they all played in jr high and they didn't like contact at all , which is fine football isn't for everyone and that doesn't mean they are less of a athlete just not football players
