Few Highlights (from conference and 2 deep just released:

-Stapleton and Drew Painter listed as the tight ends in 2 deep - no Cheatham or Carlton. Called Stapleton most consistent guy since Spring.

-Highlighted Devin Ravenel as having a tremndous camp (listed behind Jake Brown on 2 deep)

-Says you could drop Austin Douglass at LSU and he wouldnt be worried about the moment being too big. High praise for the freshman RB.

-Jalen Green/Bryce Maginely on 2 deep at Defensive End.

-Wesley McCormick starting opposite Rashad Robinson.

-Brandon Polk returning kicks

Asked by reporter what he is losing sleep over in preparation for the game, something he is back and forth on, etc.

HCCC: "Im sleeping better than I ever have because I'm extremely confident in this group."

For Dylan Stapleton to get the starting nod he must be doing really well. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility if he stayed healthy & the #1 TE, he made 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team All CAA. Granted going use up to 4 TEs with a lot of 2 TE sets, but they should also get a lot more balls thrown their way with lots of play action.

Riley, once he comes back from the 3 game suspension, if he stays healthy, will be All CAA, likely 1st or 2nd team (Last season was pre season All CAA/ended up 2nd team). A 6'5"/230 lb WR is big even for top level P5.

Trivia question: when was the last time JMU had 2 brothers start, AND both make All CAA? Would that be a 1st?
