That is tomorrow on my calendar. Time doesn't stand still.

Are practices open to the public? They posted something saying that anyone attending practice could not use phones while attending. That made it sound as if you could watch.

I think practices have always been open.

What are the approximate times of the practices?

Remember, they're headed to Ohio for the 1st week, because the track meet is taking over EMU facilities.

E'Tough is referring to the Jr. Olympics being held at EMU this year.

new roster is out:

http://www.emueagles.com/roster.aspx?path=football&

Need to check to see who is out. In are Mike Glass at QB number 9,
Edgar Cooks WR number 23, Josh Holloman rb number 29 and a transfer from Cincy and Walter Harris OL number 71.

Hmm. Josh Holloman (the RB transfer from Cincy) was a 3-star coming out of high school. Didn't play a game at Cincy, however. I wonder if he has a chance at cracking the depth chart next year. We'll see...

Love the speed, especially for a guy his size. Seriously doubt the 4.26, but he was a legit track star:

"Speedster reportedly ran a 4.26 40-yard dash at an Alabama camp in 2013...The 2014 Michigan High School Athletic Association Division II State Champion in the 100 (10.75) and 200 (22.21) meters...Was the 2013 MHSAA Division I State Champion in the 100 meters (11.11)...Also took home the regional and Oakland County crowns in the 100..."

7 MAC offers plus Cincy out of high school. Picked the biggest offer, and looks like he might have gotten lost in the talent shuffle.

Welcome Josh

Wanted to add two walkons:

37 Donovan Williams DB Cass Tech

Williams 6'2 180 CB, starter and leading interception guy for Cass Tech......love it.

I'm beginning to think our walk ons are better than some of the players we recruit.

Crazy but true. Honestly, if this kid has the motivation and work ethic, I'd be very surprised if he's not on scholarship in a couple years.

Hopefully the Cass Tech guys we've added, as well as the QB Jackson, come in and do very well and enjoy their experience. Not sure how many offers we've got out to that program, but should be near a dozen with the talent on that team. Worst case, offer walk on spots to 3 or 4 overlooked kids just like this one, and continue to build the relationship with their staff.

Cass Tech's HC's son, Kishon Wilcher is a former Rocket player and Grad Assistant.

Nice in for you guys. Got any Cass Tech commits this year?

So any reports for how the team is looking after a few days?
