Love the local coverage we have for the football program lol.....

Very interested in how Braxton Chapman looks at TB.  If anybody has any feedback, I would be grateful.
Thanks

He's in the mix but it's going to be McCaster and Turner again as the main backs.

Unless we build depth and get some horses on Oline it will be another 6-5 season.  Very disappointed we are still not making that priority#1.

We did go out a sign a couple of JUCO guys instead of HS guys that would probably redshirt a year anyway.  I did a quick social media check on Jeff Rotheram and found current posts and tweets, but nothing about football other than he still lists himself as a YSU player. Not sure how current his profile is.  Wonder what is up?

Spring ball has wrapped up. They scrimmaged today. VanGorder is the starting QB and head and shoulders above Mays. O-Line is in desperate need of help. Wiggins has been out with injury but regardless, they need some work.

I will take that as a NO. Otherwise you would have listed Mays injury.

I was not there but know he played. Regardless. VanGorder was not brought in here to be the backup QB.

Is he our second or 3rd QB transfer since the graduation rules changed? I am not one for a 1-year guy at QB, but VanGorder was used in some trick plays and he was a finalist for that Mortell award, which is probably still not anything real, but it does show that VaGorder had respect from others.

Thanks,
Dan

This is an issue for me. Spring game is a big deal and should be much bigger. I used to take my daughter to the OSU spring game ...it was free or $5. Now they sell 80k tickets, at a much higher price, as Tressel put a real emphasis on it and that has continued. Without the spring game all I do is question position depth and Bo's recruiting.
