Per Mick Garry:
USD fr. RB Khorey Kilgore was thought to be out for season with a torn up knee. Not so. Could play within a month. Was having a good camp.

Great news...just curious where you saw this, Twitter or in the paper? Not sure where they saw this but I saw it on twitter. Mick tweets more than he blogs on the AL. That is not saying much since his last AL blog update was Aug 12th.... |

Looking thru the 'Participation' reports for the first two games it appears the following true freshmen have played so far:
Tevin Foster DB
Miles Bergner K/P
Ryan Alger S
John Wessel LB
Jet Moreland LB
Drew Potter FB
Colin Mertlik LB
Jon Maag DL
Could have missed someone but I think this is correct. Not sure of any conclusions that can be drawn, ie, lack of depth, etc. but these young guys are getting some valuable experience. Counted 16 seniors on the roster.

To me, what makes it even more intriguing is that all but 2 are on the defensive side of the ball, and that is the area that has been impressive this year. I don't blame the punter for our woes, to me it's the long snapper, and Potter is going to be good, but 6 freshman playing on the D and making an impact. A solid D will keep us in games against MVC opponents. Thanks for that post. Interesting |

Our 2nd or 3rd Defensive series against KU we had 4 true freshmen on the field at one time. Wessel at ILB Maag at DT Mertlik at OLB and Foster at CB.

I believe the team is being built to have a defensive mentality first .

Thanks obc, the roster breakdown by classes is quite revealing, but also encouraging. You can jump start a rebuilding program with JC kids but you really need to fill the trenches with deep recruiting classes. And, that is not a knock on JC transfers, we need them (as virtually all FB programs do) and many have contributed greatly over the years. |
