Reckless driving is the same charge as a DUI, Both are a class 1 misdemeanor

Evidently eluding the police is a felony. Not good.

I would expect that a good lawyer will get that charge dismissed.

Dismissed or knocked down to lesser misdemeanor charge. I'd be interested to hear how he actually "eluded" police before judging.

Sounds like he was driving way too fast and kept driving too fast after the lights came on.

I did it when I was his age. Evading police charge was dropped, but I had a VERY hefty fine.

Maybe the Wilder's should get who ever Charles the Monarch had as a lawyer!!!!

- Camp battles
- When do recruits and transfers start working out
- Any off season injuries

1. On offense - At quarterback who we all know the potential starter: LaRussa, Drayton, and Hoy. My money would be on Drayton Arnold, I really want to see him play but I think Hoy will really challenge. I wish I got to the spring game to see some of the young wide recievers, I hear Cortez Ervin looked good as well as Noah Ellison who was a 3 star recruit.

On defense we have a lot of returning starters but Linebacker is a major question mark and im a little worried. Everywhere else we should be good.

2. I think the incoming recruits and transfers should be coming to campus within the next couple weeks. Pray for an offseason with no dismissals or any of that crap.

3. No news is good news on this topic.

Geez what a jinx thread. What's that mett? LB is thin and you don't want to hear about disciplinary issues?

Nice Q&A with our offensive line coach. His honesty is pretty rare.

It would seem that adding Malone to the staff was just what the O-line needed last year, and I believe they will be even more improved this year. Underdog dynasty ranks our guys at the top and in "Great Shape" in its C-USA O-line position review. Really looking forward to seeing the Monarchs pound the ball.

I thought it was interesting that he said Hannon was the 6th OL. I guess that means Garcia is healthy.

Hendricks LT- JR
Barnett LG- SO
Clarke C- JR
Garcia RT-SR

I wonder who he has at RG? Matiarena? Davidson?

We have some guys coming up as well:
Hannan
Weaver
Storment
Mallory

Plus the incoming freshman

Isaac Weaver is going to be a stud at LT.

Guys -- is this great or what? We are actually excited about and discussing our O-line. Man, how the times have changed!

And just like the everyones saying. That lists us in "great shape" in everything but QB. If that play is even par we'll be in every game.

I'll go a step further and suggest that QB play is the key for this season. We seem to be ok in most other positions. Have to convert 3rd downs.

Weaver is a starter

I agree there is a lot of good news but I will mention again that QB is not our only area to worry about. I still think linebacker could be a real Achilles Heel for the "D". Recent news (sad news) on that front probably removes one of the folks we were counting on as a replacement this Fall and just added to my concern. That said, I hope I am wrong and you guys are right and the QB is the only thing we really have to worry about.

Linebackers are certainly young but I think its the most talented group we've had. The good news is our linebacker play has never really been good so it cant be but so much of a decline. I would worry way less about LB than QB.
