FCS teams like Richmond, Delaware, William and Mary and JMU routinely has players drafted. Why not us? This is only one among many reasons I question; Is Coach Wilder ready for prime time?

I do think Pinkard would have been drafted had he not been kicked off the team.

And David Born, but for the knee.

That's more than an I anticipated actually. Once we've been around a bit more I'm sure we'll get our first.

Hampton and Norfolk State combine have 8 players active in the NFL. Not all have been drafted but they put a few in the league over the last few years. ODU only has two active NFL players. Fake GSU has 3 active NFL players

"This happens all the time!" When I ask them to provide data it's like 2 times ever and just happened to be 2 in the last few days. People react and don't respond.

In the last 10 years:
1) Richmond-5 players
2) Delaware-4 players
3) W & M- 2 players
4) JMU- 2 players
Not too shabby for FCS. Hopefully we get a couple drafted pretty soon. I think it really helps with recruiting.

Don't know the stats but one of Delaware's was Flacco who was a transfer.

I think both Pascal and Ricks have a shot at being drafted next year.

My guess would be Melvin Vaughn in the near future. Maybe Pascal, I don't know about Ricks though.

I thought Misher had a shot with his size. Anyone hearing anything about his changes as an UFA?

Looks like he will not be an undrafted free agent, but I would not be surprised to see him be invited to a camp.

Ray Lawry in two years.

Is that a Juco transfer? Anyways, my guess is Ray Lawry is probably our best bet to be the first Monarch drafted.

Yea that guy. Loved his NC State TD pass. Forman Field went wild with excitement.

And the rush to join ODU's lead is under way.

Welcome to CFB's new reality: I'm told TCU will announce later today it is hosting a camp alongside Alabama, Ohio State and USC.
