Football roster?
I reviewed the current online roster yesterday. Bradford is apparently no longer on the team leaving us with only 2 small running backs (Garcia and Williams (returning after injury)).

Any news, comments, or corrections on this?

Ky Thomas and Preston Taylor are also listed as RBs. Marques Hicks and Curtis Douglas are incoming freshmen. Most teams carry 4-5 scholarship RBs with some walk-ons. Every now and then a team will carry 6 scholarship RBs.

Who knows. But I wouldn't assume he's gone because he's not on the website. I don't know how great our website maintenance is but I've seen plenty of mistakes. If Bradford is leaving he hasn't posted the obligatory "I'm entering the transfer portal" tweet yet. His last tweet was the KSU football account wishing him a happy bday on 3/30. So if he is transferring he's not doing a great job of selling himself to other schools on Twitter haha.

Bummer. Thomas and Garcia should be solid though. Will miss his size.

RE: Football roster?
I’m excited to see Garcia take on a larger role, provided he has a line to block for him and he can hold up. Besides Garcia and Williams they have Kay Thomas coming in from Kansas/Minnesota, Reed from Western Illinois and a couple freshman. They could move some DBs over to load up some bodies but so long as Garcia/Williams/Thomas are healthy that’s a nice 3-headed monster.

One thing I'll add, the timing of him leaving, makes me think it became clear to Bradford that he was further down the depth chart than he wanted. Which hopefully is a sign that Thomas is looking good and/or Garcia has made strides.

We’ll find out more Saturday as they’ll need more than 3-4 RBs to get through the spring game.

I was thinking yesterday, between #flastfast and #kentgrit we can't have any more coaches. There's only so many catchy hashtags that are play-on-words that one school can have.

We could do #kentfast and #flashgrit and we're good until we're three more coaches in.

Not the greatest buzzwords but still not anywhere close to being as dumb as Row the Boat.

Yup, should’ve been a major focus in portal/JUCO to load up with experience.

Rosters set for the game, Thomas on one team and Williams on other while Garcia will play for both. Three RBs for 2 teams? They’ll be gassed, hopefully they stay healthy.

Only 3 RBs but 17 DBs and they didn’t bump any over to the offense? Gotta be a couple guys in there buried in the depth chart that were accomplished RBs.

Polish Hammer, what about Preston Taylor? I thought he was in camp. At any rate, I agree. I bet lots of the DBs played running back in high school and were probably halfway decent. Even just one would allow Garcia to play for only one team.

This roster has Taylor listed as a slot receiver.

Oh, OK. I know he was one of those "athletes" who played various positions, like incoming freshman Jahzae Kimbrough, who played RB, WR and DB.

RE: Football roster?
Read the writeup on the game on the website. Interested to hear if anyone went and their thoughts. From the score and the article it sounds like there wasn't a ton of offense. Also, the only passing TD was thrown by Luke Floriea? Kind of a yikes there considering there's a QB battle going on. I'll be curious to hear if any of the QBs seemed to be ahead for the starting job?
