What's going on in fall camp? Any updates? Who's looking good out there? I know it's early but I would like to know some insider info.

Just got word from someone close to the action today. Carter, Raynard, and Bamiro working out at QB. Working on spot throws and proper footwork technique. Of the 3 Bamiro has shown the best arm with tight spirals spot on.
Team put in a lot of work with special teams. Cohen, Gardin, were among the principals on the receiving end on punts and KO's.
Cartwright among those on special teams when we kicked the ball. In other words he was being used to make tackles.
Jury still out on the new O line coach. His temperament is the opposite of the last O line coach.
Sorry that's all I have.

aggie2ru that's good enough for me. I know it's early and the boys are just getting settled in, so any update is good for me. Sounds like it's some stiff competition at the QB spot which is always great. It would be nice to see Bamiro when it out as a senior with his size and athleticism, but I'm also a fan of Carter. He just has that "it" factor that you just can't teach. You saw it in the SCSU and central game where he's just hard to get down and can make plays. Either way seems like we have some options at the QB spot which we haven't had truly with 3 deep since Broadway has been here.

Again getting second hand info........
The scrimmage this morning "was not sharp and crisp". "Team was not focused". Another scrimmage is supposed to be scheduled for Wednesday.
I'm just guessing that if the above-mentioned is true...."Funky B" is not happy.
Still early but I am sure the kinks will be worked out.

Hey it's move in day for the rest of the students and the team has been bumping heads in practice for a while. I saw some good and bad play today but I'm not going to panic yet. I did see we have a couple of QB's with height that can throw a nice pass right to a speeding receiver. That was nice Now for the bad news...the field already starting to look bad. By the first Thursday night TV game, it will look like the Holland Bowl!

One point that needs to be made. This year we have several new coaches on board. Specifically, Coach Mattes (O-Line) and Coach Kaklis (Outside Linebackers)and others. It will be interesting to see how well they blend in with what we are trying to do. Mattes is much more even tempered than our ex O-Line coach. Will this style produce and motivate with our kids? We shall see as the season gets going.
The difference this year as opposed to years past is the expectations are greater.
Hopefully, we will see (or hear about) a better scrimmage this Wednesday.

It's only a matter of time. We gonna need a well laid out practice field with lights and field turf in Aggie stadium.
One only has to look at a SWAC school like Southern to see what's coming to our campus.
Remember how long it took to get lights...then the field house...then the press box.
We will get there...
