No Lemon concerns me the most. I know we had a "friend of a friend" say he was back in another thread.

I can find out about DeQuan Smith this week as he lives on my floor I will see whats up.

Shane Evans enrolled early. He is a 2014 recruit.

Between his concussion and legal issues, Sebastiano being gone shouldn't surprise anyone too much. Williams probably will go FCS and try to play QB. Dunbar, I would imagine won't be on the roster until the summer if he's going to play.

And this could be a reach, but the fact they couldn't decide between Hare and McIntosh being a backup last year and it's being made clear Maddie is in the competition leads me to believe they're hoping he takes the job.

No Jordan Lynch either :(

Williams is listed on the baseball roster. Any chance they just left him off the spring roster since he won't be practicing with the team?

I was going to say the same as Armour. Not surprised with Sebastiano, but it's too bad, didn't turn out well for him.

Dunbar still seems odd. Not surprised on Ciezlak and Corbett, I thought I had heard they were gone earlier. Also not surprised with streidl, I was actually surprised he lasted this long.

I also like how Maddie took #1, boss power play right there.

Who the heck was DaQuan Smith?

Well this is good news, looking at Ruben Dunbar's tweets, it seems to me he is enrolled at NIU and is "busy with this football stuff".
Still not sure why he wouldn't be listed on the roster...

Matt Williams is playing baseball in the spring. He may not be participating in spring football drills.

Crap.

His "mis-step" really hurt this team last year and we could have used him this year.

It does make sense that what others posted here is true he would have to move on.

Is Tuke's wife ugly?

Lemon wouldn't have made a 3 TD difference in the MAC Championship game.

Losing him really didn't mean anything.

Didn't say it would have. Just thought he played well vs Iowa..

He did, but I think people made way too big of a deal about his loss. He would have been nice to have around, but I don't think he was some huge difference maker.

Looks like Majors moved back to TE, don't think that's been mentioned. THROW IT TO HIM!!!!11

If you look at the WR's on the roster, the loss of Sebastiano will not be a big loss. He was a nice punt returner, but we have a lot of speedsters to replace him.

Great news...but not a good thing if he is not participating in spring ball. He hasn't played for over a year now.

A lot of little dudes, though. Sebastiano was nice because he could line up and be effective outside as a bit of a bigger body.

Holder, Mitchell, Roby, and Gasper are all bigger guys too, but obviously less proven.
