zff Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I noticed that freshman RB Andre Boone is no longer on the roster. Does anybody know anything about this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanie 4 Heisman Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 the coaches let him go. for what reasons i dont know. but on signing day we never got his papers because his father was in the hospital and coulndt sign them. i dont know if it has anything to do with that.

Dan Kadar Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 That kind of stinks. A position that looked to have been one of the team's deepest now looks pretty shaky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yeah. He was one of our big recruits last year! And with Alex Allen apparently going down, who will Kennedy's backup be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 The back up RB spot will most likely go to Alex Allen, since he is the most experienced RB no the team behind Kennedy. Aaris Reed could challenge Allen though, and could possibly even start next season in a two-back set if he proves himself. Bryant McMillon and Joe McDaniel will round out the position.

ZachTheZip Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I hadn't heard about the injury when I made that last post. I did not see Blue & Gold's post when I wrote it. So... sorry about that. In that case, true freshman Aaris Reed will most likely be the back up, though I hope Allen has a speedy recovery.

Beanie 4 Heisman Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 actually Aaris reed is recovering from a knee scoping he had not to long ago. he may be practicing in a week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanie 4 Heisman Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 ooo and look for mcmillon to be the 2nd stringer. The team also moved Andre Walker to rb the first day of camp because of reed needing to get his knee scoped. they also moved deandre descott to rb today due to alex allen injury.

AZipsCrazy Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I thought I heard about Boone not qualifying but I don't remember where... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZipsCrazy Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 To be honest I'm not TOO concerned about our RB situation, hopefully Reed will be back from surgery quickly.I am really excited about this kid, Harvey, Hakes, and Reed were my favorite recruits coming in this fall. It'd kinda be nice to see another one (Reed) getting playing time this year along side Harvey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentZip Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Google and ye shall find............Apparently, Mr. Boone is enrolled at a college in North Carolina that I have never heard of. Maybe a junior college sort of start to his career? Here is their roster:http://www.lrbears.com/football/roster.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentZip Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm not sure about that. It could be that the University is looking for additional sources of revenue to afford pictures.... something in the $500 range. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z.I.P. Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Google and ye shall find............Apparently, Mr. Boone is enrolled at a college in North Carolina that I have never heard of.

Not quite Mount Union, but they (NAIA) don't have any real academic standards, so maybe Andre will fit in there. Best of luck to him.
