I am, we are going to be a pretty good team this year.

Dont really get into football for awhile but Im excited to see the growth of Williams. If hes as good as I think he will be, we are gonna love the next 3 years.

Should be another year of steady improvement for SW. I expect incremental improvements across the board but I assume we'll see bigger gains in his pocket awareness and overall decision-making. Won't be a world-beater this season but he will give us the edge in a couple of tight games. BL gives us a steady backup. Haven't really seen Arnold play so no strong opinion on him at this time.

Probably won't see much of them this season but I am really excited about the development of those guys with the height and wingspan at WR and TE. DAJr and NFitz are going to be two of our most capable offensive assets in the coming years IMO. Prime SW + almost-prime DAJr and NFitz will be a nightmare for opposing secondaries. Still a year down the road but I am excited.

Linebacker depth looks solid this year. Make tackles and stop opposing power runners from gashing us for 10-15 yards. Anything more is gravy.

I hope SW is well rested and invested in alarm clocks this season!

I think SW will be much improved and I'm looking forward to Duhart's return. If he and Cox are back at 100% I think we will be pretty decent. Probably better than last season. The problem is, so are a lot of other teams, meaning we will need to be A LOT better than last season to make a bowl game. We should know early on though. If we can get 2 out of Liberty, ECU and FIU we should be able to compete.

He was a big “kid” at 17/18. I wonder how much size he has put on this offseason. We’re going to benefit having a QB w/nfl size.

I never heard the final outcome on Derek Wilder. Is he going to be suiting up this year?

Yes, apparently so.

We should have a solid stable of running backs this year. Cox is a given with Sinclair and Jackson also returning. I am really excited, though, to see redshirt freshman Casey Perkins after having a year to rehab his knee. The freshmen duo of Knight and Davis should give BW an interesting dilemma this fall in deciding whether or not to redshirt one or both of them. We should be set at running back for the next four or five years.

He looked to have put on some size to me in that Twitter video a couple of weeks back of the team dancing after workouts. Kid's upper body looked like he's put in a little work.

I noticed a couple names missing in the position write ups. Anybody know the story with Christian Byrum? He isn't listed in the DB writeup that came out yesterday. I checked the roster on the FB site and he isn't shown there either. He should have had a RS Senior left but he may have graduated and chosen not to play his last year. He was one of our higher rated recruits when he signed but didn't see a lot of playing time.

Keisean Wilson is one that is more concerning. I believe he was our highest rated recruit last year. I remember reading good reports about him at LB coming out of spring and summer practices. He redshirted last year and i was hoping he would be able to make an impact this year. He was not listed in the returning players on the position writeup but he is shown on the FB website. Hopefully just an oversight.

WR Kevin Todd is not listed either.

Just simply reading twitter would make it seem like Wilson is in, b ut thats all I know.

Initial depth chart out. No surprises except...Dereck Wilder is on the depth chart.

Wilson is on depthnchart

I heard CB left the program of his own accord. Didn't see football as part of his future is the story that went around.

KW...sometimes HS to college is a rough transition. I would expect to see him again.

No idea on Todd.
