A friend of a friend is bringing his son up for the spring game. Joe Ryan of Plant HS (same HS of Ely & Bernard Rodgers)...LB, think he's now 6'1 215lbs. Very productive...burst onto the scene last year in a solid program. His Dad played at WMU...I told him his son needs to be a Rocket...no Row, Row, Row your boat. Flying under the radar for now...don't see that happening if his sr. year stats are anywhere close to jr. year.

That's great! Hope he enjoys his trip. That initial offer from UT is often a seal of approval for other programs. What I find really interesting about the Rocket program is the # of players that are going to grad schools and/or starting their own companies.Not to mention guys like Mancz and Page that have made All-American teams.
Will there be any media coverage (WSPD or RocketVision) of the spring game?

I don't know, but there's no mention of media coverage in a preview article on the UT site.
Looks like the squads will be announced on Thursday.

Lots of guys are healing up. Wont be a fun one for the fans as far as star power. But it will show the future of our team, and the battles of guys with young tallent! Guys to keep an eye on are Jalen Coleman, Trey James, Connery Swift, Zach Yousey, Cody Thompson, Michael Julian, Brad Smith, and Josh High.

That's a well written story.
I think the D will be much improved. I like the fact that we'll have ten defensive linemen and four safeties. That gives us a huge advantage over teams that only play eleven guys. We should get lots of sacks!
Won't be able to make the spring game. Hope to see lots of reports on here.

That's the new blitz package. And people were criticizing our DC.
Crazy like a fox!!

I hadn't considered LBs and corners. With 14 linemen and safeties starting we could actually be fielding 19 at a time if we go with 3 LBs and two corners. I can't see many teams scoring on us.

To fully cover the box you really need 4 corners.

Let's not get greedy. If Campbell can actually find a way to start 14 on defense I'll be happy.
I would be surprised to see any opposing running back gain 100+ yards against the Rockets.
