Great interview with coaches Lee and Cassidy. I think Lee is trying to bridle a little enthusiasm for what can be on the offensive side of the ball. Glad to see Rovaughn Banks name come up. I thought maybe Medlock might be the rook that got some time but this does show that some of our Fr. might get a chance to show off their talents. It's also good to hear from Ethan Long that coach Patterson was so well thought of by former coaches at ASU. This is the second overt statement about our TE's. Maybe they will be an effective part of our offense. Now, if our defense will start getting some love and truly develop a pass rush...

I really liked Lee's comments over-all and felt better with Cassity's defensive comments.

Understand from a player that 2-deep and 3-deep for some positions are pretty close to being set. May see signs of that at Saturday scrimmage/practice.

I am doing a little roster analysis (which I enjoy doing way too much) of the current roster. Some quick thoughts about roster:
-There are 61 players on the fall camp roster who were on the ACU roster in 2021 -There are 26 transfers on the roster -There are 10 scholarship freshmen on the roster -There are 7 walk-on freshmen on the roster
Listening to the interview with Coach Patterson, he mentions that the Wildcats have 40 new players on the team this fall -- the total above is 43 new players. But, then I remembered that 3 transfers on this roster came in at midterm (a 4th player also came in at midterm, the QB from UCA, but he has already left to go to Arkansas Tech to be a Wonder Boy).
We have already seen that the current coaching staff has been working hard on getting in instant help, which the 26 transfers certainly reflects. That is a rather low number of freshman walk-ons. Also interesting to note that several key players were originally walk-ons -- Kobe Clark, Jacob Thielen, plus others like Taelyn Williams, Denver Holman, Dax Neese, to name a few.

Just noticed that Rafiti Ghirmai refers to himself as a tackle. We may wind up with two 4 star UT transfers starting at tackle, Moore and Ghirmai.

Really hoping for some hint as to which players are working themselves into our 2-deep after the practice tomorrow. Some positions are deep with possibilities while others seem to be more "thin." I know there were interviews after the Tuesday practice but all I've seen or heard were from Mansell. We've not heard Tyress White's name which surprises me. How about Jordan Paup, has he lost his starting job at DE? How about Thursby and Dubar at S. I've heard Moffett's name mentioned. How do we stand at CB and safety? I know all positions won't be solidified for a while but maybe-just maybe Saturday's practice will give some insights.

I certainly hope that there may some kind of program or depth chart distributed. I won't be there, so hope that the CatChat faithful gives us some insight.

I'm liking Isaiah Kelley. His goal this year--to have more tackles than Tori Hargrove. Lead the WAC in tackles.
