ZachTheZip Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I think I got everything. Feel free to correct the list, or to add info.Definitely some surprises on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckzip Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Great job. I Williams is still on the roster though. I wonder if some of these guys were just missed and are on the team. Some never played. But someone like Bickley was a key player. Grades maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Whoops about I. Williams. His status as a listed RSr threw me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks for the list. Its a shame somebody like the ABJ beat writer can't fill us in on things like Bickley not being on the team anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsoutsider Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Good work. Looks like 109 kids and I believe you can only bring 105 into camp. Also, Avery Cagle was listed on signing day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Two surprise transfers are OL Josh Krok and DE Daumantas Venckus-Cucchiara.Krok is freaking huge. 6-8 330lbs and a top-50 OL recruit according to 247Sports. He'll probably have to sit out due to transfer rules.Daumantas Venckus-Cucchiara is a graduate transfer, I think. He also wins the Best Name competition, hands down.

LZIp Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 So it looks like we should hopefully expect help in the WR Corps from Harris, Young, and Means this season when looking at players that weren't here last season. Am I missing anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing anybody?Also, Tyrell Goodman is back from injury. I don't think he played at all last year. It would have been really nice to have him, though, as he finished with a strong 2013.

Captain Kangaroo Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Speaking to Bowden at the June golf outing, he was very dissatisfied with his returning WR's. No shock that the WR personnel will look completely different in 2015. If MTB were healthy (out for the season), I don't know if he'd be a starter this year.TB had positive things to say regarding Austin Wolf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UA1987 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm getting less pessimistic about the O-line. Full boat of Seniors and athletes that can play emerging on the roster and two deep. I'm greedy - we need more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K92 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 This spring, I voiced my concerns about Bowden's H.S. recruiting, but I gotta say. . . I don't know if there's anyone better than he is at bringing in transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyshirts?On signing day it was mentioned that Ray "still needed to do some work on his SAT scores." Until those are passed, he won't show on any roster.

zipsoutsider Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Per GT, Bickley transferred. heard from another source Kincaide transferred. Evidently had an injury and was never quite the same.http://twitter.com/GeorgeThomasABJ/statuses/630833228962660352 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 GT also tweets that Jerome Lane is switching to WR.https://twitter.com/GeorgeThomasABJHe better really have a ton of potential there, because he sure had it on defense and was already a pretty solid player. I'm actually a little disappointed to hear this because I enjoyed watching him so much, but I'm sure coach knows best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder where Bickley went? Wouldn't think it would be FBS. My guess is FCS or D2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I am pretty excited at the prospect of Lane at WR. He is so athletic, I think he could be a real weapon. We are so incredibly deep on D, I like keeping him in the mix by utilizing him on offense, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsoutsider Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Not buying that Lane is switching to WR.Watch the video. He's #7 and he is definitely working out with the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
